Can we trust our memory? Not always! A false memory is a memory of something that didn't actually happen. However, it seems as real as a factual memory making it difficult to differentiate the two.

Memories become clearer the more they are thought about because the individual uses their imagination and the power of suggestion (hypnosis), and accepts what comes to mind as a true memory, even if it didn't actually happen. Recovering 'repressed' memories are not always accurate due to the high possibility of forming false memories.
