Memory is incredibly fallible. In fact, there was recently a [study](https://www.newscientist.com/article/2367992-your-short-term-memory-can-be-unreliable-after-just-a-few-seconds/) published that says memory is unreliable in as little as 3 seconds. So, you don’t really know if something is real world or not unless you have other ways of verifying the memories.
