I'm open to repressed memories of childhood sexual trauma being a thing, but I'm genuinely curious how they know the memories aren't dreams. I've had lots of childhood memories I thought definitely happened but turned out to probably have come from dreams.

When street names and factual parts of memories come back with the flashbacks, that would help to confirm

Yeah, if it were like, facts you couldn't have known otherwise. Unfortunately I suspect most childhood abuse takes place in familiar surroundings which would make that hard to tell.

Im not sure how it works. But I’ve asked someone close to me to answer the question, who had memories since the abuse as a child, but also repressed ones that surfaced later in life. Will update soon
