Memories are fleeting depending on a host of chemical balances, life changes, and other external factors. You can impress new thoughts on certain people without much effort. Gaslighting is a great example of imprinting new realities. On a greater scale, Your mind differentiates reality from non-reality with dreams. When your trip becomes indistinguishable from dreams, your mind is left pulling apart the pieces and making sense of everything. Traumatic events and major life changes can also leave your mind in a similar state.

I’ve been doing experiments with my wife to “inject” a different time in her head when I come to bed. My results are mixed during the moment, but she claims to everyone I come to bed at the time I’ve injected. I’m sure in a more controlled environment with patients one could “inject” anything that seems plausible to the naked eye

Or maybe, she's just your wife so she doesn't want to argue with you on such an irrelevant matter.

You realize you are gaslighting your wife, and that isn't ok, right?


Maybe but saying I came to bed at 4am instead of 1am is hardly a lie. It’s on the same plane as saying you don’t look fat.


If you're lying to your wife as an experiment then you should probably go to couples counseling.


Doesn't the eye loose the habit of beinh naked and considering whatever it encounters plausible given some experience with psychedelics and meditation? A major point of spiritual training is to stop taking perception and thoughts serious.


This sounds a lot like gas lighting and isn’t healthy.


Meh you could inquire some more or just assume I’m an evil person who does nothing but lie

Also don’t take sleeping pills
