Your most exciting memories are erroneous.
Memories about exciting and dramatic events are calles flash memories, and they contain a lot of errors.
For example, we can remember the events of September, 11. Psychologists asked participants to describe what they did, where they were and what happened immediately after the terrorist act and 3 years after that. As the result, 90% of memories differed. Many people can describe in details where and what they did when they heard the news. The problem is that these details are false as strong emotions related to our brain usually distort our memories.
