false memories after drunk blackout

[Richard Rahl]

Last saturday I and two friends of mine were walking in the city-forest (more like park but with squirrels) and I was drinking alcohol.  I drank a lot and on the next day I found that I could recall only several epissodes of the evening

 

Today I woke up with a strange image of fox jumping over my boot. I got immediately scared since fox are quiet often rabid.  I called to my friend and he said that there were no foxes around  and that it is impossible to find them there. 

However, this image unsettles me. How did it appeared in my head? Is it some recalled memory or a product of OCD (I am afraid of rabies) 

 

I decided never to drink again after that

Ironically, I was drinking to reduce anxiety on another topic

I`ve read about false memmories, but can they appear when you are half-asleep?

Yes they can appear anytime.

does this look like a false memory?

[Ironborn]

Well we can never be sure if something is a fake or real memory, all that we can do is accept all possibilities and move on.
