Do you remember something that you know never happened?

Question

I sometimes catch myself forming opinions or making decisions on such memories! And I sometimes seem to know things that I can't remember being taught. What's happening?

And what does it imply ethically - am I responsible for my actions? Am I able to choose rationally?

Answer 1

I have cooked things without a recipe before, and they came out really well. It felt like I had cooked this before, but I never had in this life. Same goes with some other things I know without having actually learned them. I believe in the possibility of past lives and reincarnations, so there could be a source.
Yes, you are responsible for your actions and choices. Remembering facts or imagined facts is only one part of the decision-making process. You know, in the present, the likely outcome of the choices you make, so take THOSE into consideration.

Answer 2

Remembering events that never happened is normal and occurs with everyone. As we move forward in life, our long term memory falls apart. Certain events are added while others are deleted. Our memories are heavily relied on the mood we are in. When we are mad, our memories might be more bitter than if we are happy. It sounds weird, but its true. This has become a serious problem with the witness accounts of certain events. Everyone memories deteriorate and events become mixed up.

Answer 3
