How to explain "recalling fantasy"

Leonid Karashev, a researcher and associate professor of philosophy at the highest school of humanities of Russian National Humanities University, has a unique set of opinions. He said that many scholars believe that the memory illusion stems from excessive fatigue and brain confusion, so they regard the unknown as known, but he tends to think that this is a "holographic illusion."

In his view, the principle of so-called holography is that any part of a photo can reproduce all the information of the original photo. In other words, tearing a photo into pieces, as long as there is one piece, can restore the overall image of the original photo. The so-called "holography" means that all information is contained locally.

The strange phenomenon of memory hallucination is probably formed in a similar way. In fact, all the information we often come into contact with in our lives is stored in the form of codes in our brains, while what we see and hear is hidden in the depths of our subconscious. As long as anything happens, these messages will pop up, such as what smells, sounds, lights, and similar scenes will induce us to have an illusion, as if there was a similar situation 5- 10 years ago. Although if carefully analyzed, there are still many differences.

Karasyev also believes that teenagers aged 65,438+07 are most prone to memory illusion, because they have little experience and are quite sensitive to various living conditions. At the age of 35-40, you will be hit by the illusion of memory for the second time. However, the feeling at this time has lacked the pure joy of adolescence and is more mysterious. By the age of 40, the illusion of memory is already a kind of sadness for all the things that have passed away. People with depression and very neurotic and sensitive people often have memory illusions in their lives.

Madonna, a famous singer, said in a conversation with reporters that when she visited the Forbidden City for the first time in Beijing, she felt familiar with every remote alley, so she dared to assert that she was the maid of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Lev tolstoy described a time when he went hunting. Unexpectedly, his horseshoe fell into a pit. He fell off his horse and fell heavily to the ground. At this time, he suddenly remembered clearly that more than 200 years ago, when he was another person, he fell from the saddle.

Karasyev's explanation is: lev tolstoy often rides a horse and hunts, and falls down many times, so it is not surprising that there is an abnormal situation once when he falls down. Because the strange thing about memory illusion is that it does not appear when you encounter similar situations, but only when there are some elements hidden in a strange environment that can make you go back to the past.
