flawed recollection

flawed recollection. When you reference something from your past memory,

& discover in the future,
that what you distinctly recollect,

is now,
somehow,

a very different set of occurrences.

The art or morphing fiction into facts for dramatic effect.

His memory of how good that dance was, is just creative recollection.
