I often unlock new levels of mental understanding on a daily nearly hourly basis. But now its someone elses turn. The mind holds more information of our possibilities that develop an understanding of reality then we really think. The very saying that: "The mind does not know the difference between what it sees and what it remembers." makes one sense that unsurety lies between your eyes and your minds eyes. So here is a question for your mind. Could the mind be convinced that it is remembering something that your reality does not interpret to be a possibility? Since infact two things show that possibility: 1, your mind sees its memorys stored in its sub-conscious only by a glimpse during a dream state. but since your mind is undergoing strain from it lingering between consciousness it is unable to show anymore then a recurring possibility. So when it is typically tried as something to remember, it becomes a puzzle of your reality's memory. 2, Your mind can remember it if it sees it.

We can clearly remember things that conceptually we know can only be fictitious - like fantasy stories and science fiction. But these stories are constructed to fit within our acceptable experience - in other words, we know that travel to the stars is impossible, but its reality is presented to be not much different to a airplane trip.

However, we know that the brain does not actually remember details in the way that is often suggested. Instead, it remembers fragments, and recall is a process of assembling the fragments and then connecting them into a coherent whole. Parts of the forebrain are involved in basically rejecting constructed wholes that do not make sense. So this places a limit on what it would be easy to remember.

When the reconstruction mechanism goes wrong - for instance, after a stroke - people can suffer from a condition called confabulation where they reconstruct false memories or incorrectly reconstruct fragments.

Yes, your mind can most certainly be convinced that you remember something that cannot possibly exist. How many science fiction movies have you seen? How many people have been teleported. You recall the event, but it is not really possible.

The section of the mind that stores experiences is not constrained to possibility. If it were, then we could never remember anything that was wrong.

The question would belong in physics or mathematics, but your following statements would place it in psychology. Anyhow quantum physics is not a piece of cake your need a solid education and a fairly intelligent mind. Your wondering following statements don't contribute in my opinion at all to the question asked. Now if you just consider the definition of quantum physics, that is truly elementary, but the physics or mathematics in the subject is an entirely different matter.
