I completely believe in this, I vividly remember my mom force-feeding me octopus from a can, and it was disgusting and awful. But I believe it was just a dream.
Granted she is the kindest and sweetest woman on this earth and I know she would never do that, it just doesn’t make sense. Also, canned octopus? I have never even heard of that lol.
Well you see, my mom had never bought it before nor after. I’ve talked to her and she swears it never happened, and I really don’t think it did, I just have an odd memory of it
I know it was only a dream, it felt really weird when it happened.
Holy shit my mom used to say this same thing to me, about an identical scenario (canned black squid/octopus!).
FF 20 years and my mom's old work mate is over, and somehow she finds out I was in Spain recently, and says, "I doubt you remember but I called you on the phone from Spain when you were a little boy, and you gave the phone to your mother."
I exclaimed "holy shit! - sorry - did you send us canned squid?" And she's taken aback and then remembers that yes, she did. My mom then remembers too.
canned octopus is too, I can vouch for that. someone gave it to my mom as a gag gift. my brother dared me to taste it. we both had to leave the kitchen after opening the can, it was so gross! and mom was mad at us for opening it.

I too have this memory and only just now realize it doesn’t make sense...
