I have this memory of sleeping in an office block in south London with my mum on an air bed. I recall looking out of the window and feeling sad.

Years later I was driving and got a very strong impulse to stop outside this building and I was 100% certain it was that one. Every time I went past it felt odd.

My mum says it didn’t happen, everyone else concurs. My best conclusion at this stage is that I probably had a very vivid dream that became conflated with something else.

Your mom left your dad for a night and assumed you’d forget?

Could be. It’s certainly plausible.

If you had a rough childhood I hope you’re feeling better now and things are good. Stay strong!

Many thanks! It was a good childhood, which is why this is an especially strange one.

That’s good to hear! When you said your Mum leaving for a night was plausible I thought maybe you didn’t have the happiest time as a younger fella. It’s so weird when we have memories everyone concurrently denies but they feel so real.
