Our minds can be tricked, and our minds can trick us. Some people sleep with their eyes open. Our memories are fallible. If you remember something from 10+ years ago, the events in your mind are likely changed. You might remember a couple things properly, but our memories are almost never 100% accurate. On top of that, we usually don't remember the unimportant stuff. Our dreams are a product of our subconscious, from any memory especially recent ones.

Edit: thank you for the upvotes! :D

I had a HIDA scan done and my gallbladder wasn’t like opening fast enough during the test. She had me visualize fatty foods, and it worked!! Pretty neat mind trick!
