Dissociation makes things blurry. And it may make things less available to independent recall. So do my "forgetting sleeps". But if I were reminded of what happened when I was dissociating, I'd probably remember *that* it happened, but not the particulars. Similar to my reaction to shock, I suppose.
Conversely, if someone prods me to remember something that didn't happen, I don't remember it. I guess you could make a case that it really did happen and I don't remember, but given context, I think it's more likely that the other person had me confused with someone else.
