Unless, My one teenage lucid dream retrofitted all the other imaginings?
I don't think you can retrofit false memories from a time into an earlier time in your mind?
That's why I'm swearing it happened the way it did but am not trying to offer an explanation.
I'd love for some scientific dept to try to "get" those memories out of my head.
Do not want to be the poster boy for some pseudoscience bullshit charlatans.
Maybe one way you could look at it is to try and logically debunk it... for instance would a baby be capable of understanding whatever you told it? I don't know but I doubt it.
With my fan heater thing I've repeatedly referred to those memories throughout my life... and likewise I feel 'certain' that they happened but the way I see it is that the feeling of certainty is not a reliable measure of truth... it often means delusion.
I think the only thing you can really rely on is the present... that previous memories could be affected in many ways... you could even have the remembrance of feeling certain all this time but that in itself could be part of the confabulation.
