Untrue Memories

[Kijhlhgdvjk]

Does anyone have any 'memories' that they know can't be true?

I distinctly remember secretly flying. When I was four, I had the ability to kick my legs up and fly indoors. Just like swimming, but with more effort in the air. I could only do it when no one was with me and couldn't do it for long distances. I flew downstairs and also around the living room and my bedroom (all on separate occasions). I knew that no one would believe me, so I never told anyone.

Obviously it didn't happen, but I can 'remember' having the urge to do it, kicking my legs up and 'swimming'. I can remember the resistance of the air against my arms and hands and also knowing that I had to keep my back straight. It was fun, but also felt bit naughty and I worried that I'd be in trouble if anyone saw me.

Does anyone else have an untrue memory?

I had a dream which sort of over wrote a true memory. Its completely stupid... I dreamt i regularly bunked off Music School. But I know I did go every week (pretty much) until end of Yr13. But I can only remember bunking off in the last year!

As for your memory OP... I've heard the flying one is quite common. Something to do with half remembering being carried around as a baby.

Interestingly, my sibling & I thought we were definitely able to do this at around the same age.

we both also have a joint false memory which is pretty outing, so I don’t want to say it. But it’d be like a Tudor king and queen coming into your house and drinking tea/eating a banquet with their court for an hour, and then all leaving. We observed the whole thing from another room. That’s not what happened but fairly close.

I've often had dreams of being able to fly, since childhood. In the dream, I would float up out of bed and through an open window and then I'm flying through the night sky with whispy clouds and stars, I can feel the wind wooshing past me and it's incredibly vivid. Could you be remembering a similar dream from childhood?
