Weird Memories From My Childhood

The Phantom Phreak · 2025-12-27 15:42
In my childhood,I had a very bad nightmare. We were in a grassy area, there was some mountains in my sight. I was talking to the girl and suddenly her eyes turned red and a volcano explosion occured, covering everything in flames. From what my parents told me, I know that I used to burn small paper pieces than I caused a small fire and was traumatized by that. I remember this fear of fire very well, I remember seeing flames here and there in the walls, remember a bad dream where my mother burns the bed. The fear of fire was unusual for me back then. I also suffered from bipolar disorder in my teenage years, where I started making up memories about how I killed someone when I was child, how I had a different name and my new name was given to me after I was changed to a different person and was purified from my sins. Some neighbour of mine offered hypnosis therapy and said that I was a samurai in my past life, I killed someone and have guilt for that. Something is very weird but I just don't know what is it. The girl in my dreams was just like the girl in pic related, upcoming game Pragmata. I also believed that I made a promise in my childhood to some girl, maybe an alien girl far away? I don't know if you have watched Elfen Lied but that anime meant a lot to me back when I watched when I was a kid. Also, when I was creating fake memories about my childhood, I was thinking that everyone I know is working for CIA or other agencies. I have a memory of a transport helicopter, with 2 rotors landing in front of my house when I was a baby. I was born in 2001, I also had fake memories of being born earlier but still in 2001 or late 2000. Also, I learned to read and write on my own from television when I was a child, when I was 4 years old. I used to hang out in internet as early as 2006 or so. I remember old web and would hang out in it for hours every day. Those old amvs of elfen lied was my obsession, and I always thought there was some mystery in my life and in those times I remember being distracted by mystery hunt of UFO's and bigfoot in GTA San Andreas, which was very popular in that time. My parents say that I used to act as if I am 2 people at the same time and talk to myself. To sum it all up, do you think that there is a mystery in my childhood or did being exposed to fiction and media and learning to read at that age and to surf at the internet made me a daydreamer at that age and those fake memories were just due to my psychosis?

Delusions from psychosis are thought to be due to how dopamine which makes you pay attention to information gives too much significance to that information making it seem more profound and planned than it actually is. The delusions can influence hallucinations too and vice versa delusions can form in order to interpret hallucinations. I have some very vivid memories of dreams I had as a kid as if they were real events. I think kids able to remember dreams better may have played a role.
