Fragmented memories.

I have fragmentations of memories of events that have happened in the past which perplex me whenever I try to put them in correlation, making me think that these memories have been pre-programmed in my brain, but because whatever entitiy programmed these memories forgot to debug the "files", I'm unable to make sense of the pertaining events. Anybody else ever get this feeling?

I have a hard time putting certain events in order, to the point where they all contradict each other, and make no logical sense and no matter how hard I try I just cant make sense of any of it. Im not quite sure if thats what you mean. What exactly do you mean? And why would you assume someone pre-programmed them? Why assume anything else than a fragile brain?

if you have trouble remembering it, whos to say it even happened? dfh out.

Yeah, we were talking about that in my brain studies class. About how if you're told stories at an impressionable age, you most likely form a false memory around it, thinking it really happened, making up the events entirely. I should know, I have a few false memories that I know never actually happenend, I've asked my parents.

I THINK I understand what you are talking about. Twice in my lifetime, when I ahve been drinking, I have seriously remembered the ENTIRE night, not a single minute missing from my memory. However, the next day when I've talked to the gf at the time or mates, I find out my memory of what I did that night, was COMPLETLY different to what happened, or rather, what they remember me doing. A rather painfull and embarassing example is one night when i hit the grog with my gf at the time. I remember spending the night calmly talking to her, chatting online, watching movies etc, however, she said that I completely flipped my lid, ranting, raving, punching walls, acussing her of cheating, constantly repeating "What am I doing, why am I here, why are you here" etc etc. Even to this day I have NO recollection at all of doing any of that stuff, and believe me, I've tried to remember do to the seriousness of it. I could even recite entire (calm n collected) conversations that I remembered having to her the night she claimed I went totally nuts (verified by a mate who was online at the time who i apparently accused of sleeping with my gf....which is totally stupid because at that time I thought the sun shone out of her bum...the thought of her cheating on me hadn't even crossed my mind).

Funny thing is, my gf at the time, and both neighbours on either side of me verified I was punching... something hard enough that the windows in the entire house shook...yet, the morning after this weird arsed "event", I didn't have so much as a mark on my fists. No bruises, no scratches, no sore knucles. I searched the house high and low for any signs of impact...nothing, nudda. There was NO physical evidence AT ALL that I had done the things that four people (one eyewitness, one online with me/my ex telling him things, & two neighbours) claimed I had done. It's like I was in a totally different world to theirs...and no, I'm not schizophrenic. Just had my psych assessment to join the army and I am officially sane what a relief hehe

ps: This is a very personal & VERY embarassing event I'm ashamed of so please, no flaming. There was much self-examination and reality checking after it happened

Gracious this is so sad. Growing up I remember my dad saying the only two things the government could'nt take from you were your spiritual faith and your memories.
Looks like they may have tried to harness both
I have no proof, but from stories, sounds like its happening.
When in doubt blame the government or the aliens.
