The mind at night: replays, worst-case thinking and nightmares, sentence 13

Memories are not videos; they are rebuilt each time we remember, so two people can honestly remember the same moment differently.

Who acts: Memories, we, two people · What happens: not be, rebuild, remember · To what, where: videos, Memories, time
