Is it possible to have false memories? Today for some random reason I'm thinking back on this memory that I have, and it seems vivid like it really happend. The memory is this, I remember hearing a song and like singing along with it or knowing some words to it. After the song came off the radio they are like "tell us how you liked the song!" I'm like wtf this song is new? How do I know the words? In the memory I think someone was with me, and confirmed that it was weird how I knew the words.
Heres where it gets weird and makes me think it's a false memory...I have no recollection of what song this was, or who the person I was with is. Or where it was. Now I know memories deteriate over time, but this doesn't feel like that. It's not like the feeling of forgetting part of a story. It's an odd thought. I feel like ive had this happen multiple times too. Just the thought of"I've heard this before.."
Nowi don't think this is déjà vu, as I am quite up to date on the science of what the believe causes déjà vu. I'll post the video explaining déjà vu better than our stoned ass can onthe next post. My point is this isn't the quick feelin of deja vu. It's more like a memory of a while back, not the here and now, as déjà vu is.
So is this even possible? Anyone else had any similar experiences? Did the aliens get to me? Is it a glitch in the matrix?
