   It doesn't necessarily happen consciously, but unconsciously, so that   
   you are unaware of the process. Actually some people think that is the   
   way memory works: you don't actually "remember" anything, you just   
   recreate images (sounds, etc.) from the imprints in your brain, and then   
   label them as memories, although they are just your subjective, possibly   
   distorted associations that you in a sense re-experience. Anyway, this   
   unconscious process mentioned earlier happens much more easily under   
   hypnosis (and possibly other "altered" states, like dreaming). This is   
   also known as confabulation, doing a Google search on it seemed to give   
   some good information.
