we remember things that happened and also things that we once imagined and now take as having had actually happened.

My God. Some of you people will come up with anything to try to show you are right. How absolutely disgusting.

Please do some research prior to making such a unwise remark. Check out, at least, what the False Memory Syndrome Foundation has to say:

Some of our memories are true, some are a mixture of fact and fantasy, and some are false -- whether those memories seem to be continuous or seem to be recalled after a time of being forgotten or not thought about.

Then how can we know if our memories are true? The professional organizations agree: the only way to distinguish between true and false memories is by external corroboration.
