Tough when you can't just use google to fact-check the memories! Sounds like it could be a jumble of several lives, and who knows, they could be simultaneous as well. I find the emotional component to be the most important when memories come up, but when I can verify that something I remember actually existed it's a bonus, and also a reassurance that maybe I'm not going crazy after all. Another point is that we create our future as we go, and to a certain extent we also create our past within the present. Remembering something and understanding it in a new light, in a subtle way seems to actually change the past. At least it makes it move into the past, if it otherwise intrudes too much into the present. I could keep rambling, so I'd better stop...
Maybe you've been on such missions here before, and this is the first time you wake up in the middle of it?
