13 I think.

Yes, I can say with absolute certainty that I had never been there before that time, never seen a picture of it, never heard their voices. No, I'm not confusing the way I remember it with what actually happened then. I spoke about it when we first got there. I drove everyone crazy talking about it.
So what do you call it?
What if what you think is a delusion is a cultural difference that can't be explained by science?
What if I apply the scientific method to the "delusion", but cannot disprove it?
Doesn't mean that I think I'm psychic, just that there are things I can't explain. And no one else can, either.

You clearly had some subconscious memory of your grandparents that you simply don't have access to. You can't say with absolute certainty that none of those things happened just because you can't remember it. If you can't explain something it simply means you don't have all of the facts at hand. If you don't have all of the facts you can't draw any solid conclusions. In this case, logic dictates that you have memories that you are unable to recall, which is causing you to believe that something supernatural is occurring when in reality it is a simple misunderstanding.

But your explanation does not consider FACTS, and so it can't be a valid argument.

And what exactly are you basing these facts on? Your childhood memories? Or have your parents been feeding you these "facts"? The fact is that you either had some prior knowledge of the situation before it happened or your memories have been scrambled, there's no way around it. You can't remember something that you haven't already seen before. The only other explanation is that you inherited these memories from your parents, but that's about as far fetched as claiming you had a psychic vision.

Where is it you're trying to go here, exactly?

What I'm getting at is that we reach a logical breakdown at the point when you claim to have had a dream about something you had no prior knowledge of. When this occurs, you should reach the conclusion that at least one of the things you have taken to be a fact must in reality be false. Not understanding this is what allows for the illusion that something inexplicable has occurred.

Right.
But it is, in fact, outside of the realm of logic altogether. That's the point. It was a mystic experience. The facts preceding it are facts. There is no point in arguing them. It is the truth. There's no way I can convince you. And honestly it seems ridiculous to even try. So I'm basically giving up at this point, because I don't really need to argue with a fencepost today.
