False Memories Created by Dreams?
I have a few memories from my childhood that I found out never happened.
For example, I remember as a baby being taken away from my mother by a strange man in a black car. I asked my mom about that a few years ago.. never actually happened.
I remember being up in my treehouse with my neighbor and she fell off and broke her arm. Never actually happened.
I remember a part in the Little Mermaid tv series where Ariel gets sucked into this whirlpool down to the bottom of an underwater cliff and couldn't get out. I searched for this episode all over the internet. It doesn't exist.
I'm pretty sure now that all these "memories" are from dreams I had as a child that I somehow accepted as actual real-life happenings. I was wondering if this happened to anyone else.
