Time/Dimensional slip

People have very detailed, very specific, very persuasive memories all the time. That's why eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable to a ridiculous degree.

I can't find the cite now, but there was an experiment done with an audience of people who thought they were there to watch a speech. In the middle, a man with a gun burst into the room. After, they were questioned about what happened, and it became clear that their memories, while fully convincing to them, were very inconsistent from each other and from reality. Some people reported three gunmen, some people thought the gun actually fired -- all of them were totally sure their memories could not be wrong, but they were. This happens constantly, to everyone in all walks of life, regardless of intelligence.

If you've ever gotten the snot beat out of you, you would know it's not something your mind would make up, but instead try to forget.t (Black outs,PTSD ETC) All those things are protections, against remembering something you don't want to remember . It isn't likely someone would remember an attack that did not happen unless they were hypnotized and made to believe it (like memory implantation). So, OP had you been hypnotized that night? I highly doubt the OP has.

Again if the OP had just given the phone to him like everyone else remembered there'd be no reason for the mother's BF to beat the OP as the fight was over the phone. So how can it be a "filling the blanks" scenario?" I've never been knocked out but I am sure people that are LOSE memories, they don't fill in blanks with "False memories" They have to be implanted under hypnosis. Most boxers will tell you this, they completely LOSE all memories that happened, not try and "imagine" false stories to replace them, they are simply gone period.

but what do i know,,,, in MY mind Nelson Mandela died in prison.. back in ' 76-ish '78 i was in Elementary--

i know he died....we talked about it in school--.. but he still lives... and THAT is another thread...

Me too, I distinctly remember hearing he died in Prison. Honestly the naysayers are really starting to irk me as of late. I am a very intelligent person and not prone to whimsical thinking, I have experienced this multiple times, mainly because I need the proof as well to believe in some way, but I am certain this happens to a lot of people who write it off or ignore it or don't even realize it and go on about their lives. I am a skeptic but I am NOT a fool!

I would blame this on poor programming in the matrix.

... or you were incepted.

Win. Just simply win.

Anyways, on to the thread, it could be a multitude of things. Time slip, replaced memories, and any other number of things. It really is hard to pinpoint something when so many variable exist in senerios like this. My perosnal opinion I think it may have been that you were hit hard enough that when you went to sleep it could have affected the way your memories were perceived in the morning.

Or it could have been a time shift. We may never know.

OP, in another thread you've admitted you were once diagnosed with a 'vague psychotic disorder' and were on meds when you were a teenager. Did this 'timeslip' happen before or after your diagnosis and therapy?

After re-reading your OP, I see this just happened a few years ago, and you were diagnosed when you were a teenager eight years ago, so this happened after the fact.

I suggest you do not dismiss 'mental illness' as being the cause of your strange episodes.

Good luck to you.
