I often have memories of things, but I am not sure if I dreamed it or it really happened. Like looking at another employee's payroll information through the course of my work; a memory of that just popped up, and I'm not sure if I actually saw it or not.

Happens to me sometimes. When I was a kid, I dreamed that my mom's hairbrush fell down the tub drain, and I thought it really happened. :o

Happens to me a lot. With dreams and stories. If I've told someone something weird, in say, a joke or something, I can often end up thinking that was what had actually happened.

It's a very strange sensation. The same thing can happen with dreams, I don't often think that is what happened, but sometimes I can be confused as if it really happened. So I can sit for ages, going over memories, trying to figure out if they actually happened.

I've tried occasionally asking people who were there, but a lot of the time they laugh it off or something.

Then on top of that, I can't trust my own thoughts. It's a fun life.
