I&#x27;ve heard enough of these stories to have no doubt this is a real experience, but what could a scientific explanation of this possibly look like? I take coherence of worldview very seriously and will rewrite my entire ontology if necessary, but I&#x27;m having difficulties here. I don&#x27;t want to accept the cognitive dissonance and say you&#x27;re making it up or are fabricating the memory, or simply dismiss this comment altogether. On the other hand, it seems a very difficult hallucination to conjure.
