Locke
Locke talks a lot about dreams the first thing that he talks about is that dreams may not be reliable. We remember things in a way that we want to or how we precieve it, that may not be the case for others. They may remember things totally different then you did. People can creat false memories or memories over time may become distorted. As we talked about this in class physchologists have done test that have proved that people over time, if they are asked the same question may tell the person what they want to hear, or even start to believe false memories. I really think that based on this memories are not reliable sources of information. Too many things could be altered or wrong when a person is trying to recall memories.

I think you are right and when I read this part of the book I thought the same type of thoughts.
That two people can remember the same event differiently even if they were both there in the same place at the same time.
Even if you can recall all the true facts of a memory you still see it they way it was in from your own eyes and mind. They age you were or the way you feel about the event at the time. Because you are recalling some that happened you can recall it the way you thought it to be and not the way it may have been. I think that you have a good point when you say that too many things could be altered or worng when the memories are recalled. Because things can easly be changed even without meaning to be.

it just makes me wonder if it is possible for 2 people to have the same facts from memory though
