The structure above was built in the 7th century BCE by two legendary architects, Trophonios and Agamedes. Is it: A. The Palace of Knossos on Crete B. The Temple of Apollo at Delphi C. The Pillars of Hercules D. The Colosseum of Rome Trivia aside, color me curious: what's the most unusual place or thing you've seen thus far in your "hallucinomemories"? That you're willing to tell someone about, of course — I'm not seeking to pressure anyone into revealing secrets they wouldn't be willing to share with the class. (Or, I suppose, if you're playing along with those bingo cards we were given and need to share something with a stranger, responding to something like this would certainly qualify, wouldn't it?)

First, take a survey of as many recipients of hallucinomemories as you can find. Next, examine the results and look for themes in the memories — identifying memories that there's a higher probability that any given "dreamer" will potentially have experienced in their previous life.

Then, take a sample of people who have yet to experience a hallucinomemory, and expose them to a trigger similar in nature to the common experience. See if that resonates with any of them — and if so, in what capacity.

Ambitious. Yet how do you confirm any 'hallucinomemories' are real?

[ A major sticking point for Laurent. How do you know who is telling the truth here, and who is exaggerating or adding to their stories, or simply making them up to feel included? ]

[doitrockapella]

At the risk of turning that back around on you, how do you confirm that they aren't?

I have no method, but that amounts to the same thing -- we cannot prove how much of this is true, which makes the quality of the data dubious.
