Similarity of being asleep and awake - in each state we have minimal recall re the other

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidetic_memory#Skepticism

evidentially it may be reasonable to conclude your supposed selective long term memory
may be a false memory designed to cover up an unpleasant occurrence & so your mind has re-constructed a false old memory to become the solution to an emotional condition.

hows that for whacky reality

Seems a very unlikely scenario. Where would my mind get information about any occurrence being unpleasant when at 2½ years old I wouldn't have enough, I don't think, to draw many distinctions be pleasant and unpleasant?

And why would it think a memory of me saying two trams were about to collide would be a good replacement?

Where is / was the cloth that fake memory is / was constructed from?

No I am confident the memory is real and its persistence is a result of - hard to put a number or descriptive phrase here - said memory recall being repeated and creating a well worn path
