I feel like this sometimes too! I have a bad memory, so if I ask someone if we talked about a certain subject, they say they dont remember, and its generally accepted I was the one with the faulty memory. But in the past 6 months, I have been trying to "work" on my memory getting better, which it has significantly.
Sometimes my friends will bring up sort of weird things like random youtube videos to illustrate a point. Months later, (at least 6), I started re-stumbling on things they had said that I had forgotten to follow up with/research in a completely different fashion! One example is an Alan Watts video about Prickles and Goo, which Im almost sure one of my friends showed us, along with our mutual friend's wife(we will call here "Cheryl" for the purpose of anonymity). She freaked out and took her kid out of the room as soon as she saw who the video was by(if I recall correctly). It turns out at her church, the (religious-guy title) was warning the whole church that Alan Watts is (insert outlandish claim like he was a satan worshiper or anarchist or something). My friend and then me very quickly were like "Cheryl, this looks really really really really bad for... (we were all thinking your church/religion) because this video was totally benign, and she got all defensive of course.
Only a week or two ago I asked my friend about Alan Watts, and he disavowed all knowledge of him. I am confused.... I either made up some kind of fabrication of someone who I had never heard of before I found him linked to an esoteric collection that was related to the Ra Material in some way. I either dreamt it (alternate universe? the future? {I have dreamt the future but only when under 10 years old the last clear time})... or I have no idea really where I got it otherwise.
