In that case, it's not even a memory, is it? Just a re-creation.
Yeah maybe haha. In which case maybe I don't have memories!
No but I do think it's a memory, it's just rather than a memory of what literally happened, I'll remember the visual parts I was interested in and they won't be an accurate representation of what happened, they'll just be a sort of placeholder so that I know what they're meant to represent, if that makes sense. So if my memory is about going to the beach, I'll imagine going to 'a' beach, and if I saw a dance group, I'll imagine what I imagine they looked like even though I have no idea what they looked like, but I know they were there so my brain fills it in for me.
There are one or two memories that I'd say are probably from my own eyes but again I don't think they're very accurate - I remember holding a baby but I don't remember what the baby looked like or how I held it, but in my mind I imagine myself holding a baby in a certain way as a placeholder for what really happened. And there's one memory I have when I'm really young where I eat a bogey when I'm sat on a stage in church but I'm pretty sure my church never had a stage so that confuses me haha
