What's the difference between the imagination and a memory?

[neurosis]

whenever i try to recall major events in my life i sometimes convolute dreams/my imagination with actual memories or actual memories come across as dreams. there doesnt seem to be any sort of inherent mechanism that discerns what actually happened in my life with what i experience in deep rem sleep - both dreams and irl memories are stored in the exact same file for some reason

funky stuff

In nlp they say the only difference is submodality's which are basically things like emotion and the 5 senses in the memory.

They say to compare a memory to something fake and make the imagination similar to the fake one to create a fale realistic memory

holy shit, genuinely interesting. i have utterly subhuman sensory perception (impaired smell, bad eyesight, severe allergies) so its entirely possible my brain just cant refer to submodalities as a reliable source of comparison and easily conflates fake memories (dreams/imagination) with real memories

Consciousness is the only reality. Therefor, all of life is based upon imagining.

Imagination creates reality.

Pretty sure everything that’s not seen with your eyes is imaginary

can you see a memory? (excluding photos/videos)

can you see a memory? (excluding photos/videos)

Only with your imagination, I don’t know if it’s true or not but apparently everytime you look back at a memory your looking back at the last time you remembered it and not when you first saw if that makes sense

Photos or videos are the only true way to capture a memory

furthermore

axiom a) memory = everything you've seen
axiom b) imagination = stuff you can't see

do people born blind have imaginations/memories?

Define “see” in this context

Blind people definitely have imagination/memories just not the way we do, they probably only have auditory memory/imagination

Not only auditory my bad, but definitely memories or imaginations with all their other 4 senses

Define “see” in this context

not being completely blind from birth - functional eyesight/being able to see what's in front of you

Blind people definitely have imagination/memories just not the way we do, they probably only have auditory memory/imagination

so no visual context/diagrams whatsoever? just darkness/inner eyelids/whatever blind people 'see' with an additional auditory/smell cue
