Why Your Past Doesn’t Feel Real Anymore?

Описание: Why does your past feel unreal?
Why do old memories feel like they happened to someone else?

You remember your childhood, your old friends, your old home… but it doesn’t feel real anymore. It feels like a dream—like a movie you once watched but never lived.

In this video, Imagine with Feynman explores one of the strangest psychological experiences almost everyone has: the feeling that the past is fading, distorting, or becoming disconnected from who you are today.

We dive into how the brain stores memories, why time changes the emotional weight of your experiences, and why your mind can make real moments feel distant and dreamlike. This isn’t just nostalgia—it’s neuroscience, perception, and the strange way consciousness edits reality.

The truth is simple but unsettling: your brain doesn’t replay the past… it rebuilds it. And every time it does, it changes it.

This video explains the hidden reason your past no longer feels like your life.
