Have you ever doubted reality? Like get the feeling that what once happened, really didn't happen at all? And what happened was simply a "dream" that your subconscious made up for you?
Kinda like this:
"You are walking around your neighborhood, going to some of your friend's houses, just saying hello and stuff. You do this for about an hour and you go home. Once you get home, you search your room for your CD player because you want to listen to music. You can't find it and end up tearing up your room looking for it. You throw your bed sheet off the bed, hoping to find it under the sheet. But its not there. But then you realize that you left your CD player at your friend's house.
So the next day, you ask your friend if he had your CD player and he responds with: "No, why would I have it?"
You reply: "I left it at your house when I stopped by yesterday."
He says: "What do you mean? I was at my Grandma's house."
Confused you say: "C'mon, didn't we play Perfect Dark? You beat me a million times remember?"
He says: "I don't even own Perfect Dark, nor do I own a Nintendo 64."
You walk away confused. You find your other friends and ask if they had your CD player. They all claim to have not seen you yesterday. You know very well that you visited all your friends. You go home after school and wonder if they were all just pullin your leg. You throw out the bed sheets again and to your surprise, you find your CD player. What the hell is going on here?"
The idea here is that he didn't really go to his friends' houses. He doesn't remember what he did, but he believes that he did go to his friends house and left his CD player there.
Sometimes I get the feeling that some of the experiences didn't really happen and that my subconscious has led my conscious self to believe what my subconscious has wanted.
classical conditioning
n. Psychology
A process of behavior modification by which a subject comes to respond in a desired manner to a previously neutral stimulus that has been repeatedly presented along with an unconditioned stimulus that elicits the desired response
Kinda confusing...
What if my entire past is a lie? What if what I think is my "past" is really just a dream or illusion that I just created subconsciously in my head?
