It occurred to me that a particular stretch of highway I'd been driving on once a week for several years had 2 separate entries in my memory. Sometimes it would register as 1 discrete stretch and other times as a wholly different, separate stretch. (How I failed to register this for so long I can only guess as a byproduct of driving on autopilot.)
When I did finally make the connection that I had been alternately identifying this 3 mile stretch of highway as 2 slightly different entities, there was a wave of understandably disorienting cognitive dissonance as the two entries were reconciled into one. I'd never experienced anything like that before, nor have I since.
Am I alone in having had this type of experience?
