From as young as 6 years up to 50 years, I recall just three such short instances lasting a few seconds. If it gets more frequent I shall be meeting the head-shrinkers.
As
my esteemed colleague in psychiatry once stated, all are mad on a scale
of 1 to 100. He did give me a better sane score than on himself.
Flattery?

Perceptions of the attributes of one's 'first love', or for that matter one's 'first car' are largely shaped by imagination and not reality.

Imagination Can Change Perceptions of Reality
What we see and hear can be reshaped by our imagination.
Published on June 28, 2013 by Christopher Bergland in The Athlete's Way
Researchers
in Sweden have found that our imagination can change our perceptions of
reality. Your mind can literally play tricks on you by changing
illusions of what you think you hear and see into what seems like
reality. The new study from the Karolinska Institutet is published in the scientific journal Current Biology. The findings offer new clues on how the human braincombines information from the different senses and how imagination can alter mind-brain function.
"We
often think about the things we imagine and the things we perceive as
being clearly dissociable," says Christopher Berger, doctoral student at
the Department of Neuroscience and lead author of the study. "However,
what this study shows is that our imagination of a sound or a shape
changes how we perceive the world around us in the same way actually
hearing that sound or seeing that shape does. Specifically, we found
that what we imagine hearing can change what we actually see, and what
we imagine seeing can change what we actually hear."
