Did this really happen, or did I dream the whole thing up?

I would swear I saw Loretta Swit on TV somewhere recently, and she referred to Gary Burhoff and Jamie Farr getting married to each other recently. It seemed plausible; after all, George Takei recently married his long time significant other. Then, I found out that both men happily married to women. I can't even think of where I would have seen Loretta Swit being interviewed. So, did I fall for a hoax, or did I dream the whole thing up?

1. Musta been some weird dream.

Gary Burghoff and Jamie Farr are both straight, as far as I know. And Jamie Farr is a right-winger, so no gay marriage there...

And Loretta Swit can't even get a commercial anymore. Where on TV could you possibly have seen her?

2. Probably related to this post:

Subject: "Former ‘M*A*S*H’ star says he is gay"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8751357&mesg_id=8751357

You probably unconsciously registered that subject line and then dreamed about it.

3. That's just it - it wan't until I read that thread and it didn't mention

Farr and Burghoff that I did a little research. I can't find a trace of this. It was a really detailed dream because someone asks Loretta who she married because they heard that two Mash cast members married each other, and she laughed and said it was Gary and Jamie!

5. I've heard of deja vue, but is there a term for remembering things that never happened?

6. Déjà new: remembering things that never happened

I think I just made up that term, but it's possible that I heard it somewhere and just unconsciously remember it.

4. That would make for some awkward fan fiction. n/t
