Sometimes when Laser-Guided Amnesia won't cut it, the villains, heroes, or The Men in Black need to radically alter a subject's very memories to ensure their Evil Plan, Epiphany Therapy or cover-up (respectively) works flawlessly.
In these cases they implant Fake Memories, using things like Psychic Powers, brainwashing, computers, or the week's Applied Phlebotinum to replace true memories with more convenient false ones.
Of course, this never works as planned. Like an itch they can't scratch, the character with tampered memories will notice things aren't as they should be and scratch at the false memories like a scab, questioning their "past" and searching for the truth. Or go crazy trying. Occasionally, a hero will leave a Note to Self or instructions for friends to help. The irony being that the false memories tend to lead the character right back to the people who erased them with enough of an advantage to take them out.
A darker, more sinister version of this trope is when the character in question realizes his memories don't add up, but doesn't know which set of memories is true. Often self-inflicted, these memories are slowly revealed through dream sequences, and the experience tends to come with An Aesop about the frailty of human mind and the subjectivity of memory.
Quite common in video games, probably because amnesiac heroes are extremely convenient for the format. Occasionally used as part of a more radical attempt at making someone into an Unperson.
Related tropes include Manchurian Agent, Memory Gambit, Amnesiac Dissonance, and Tomato in the Mirror. This is one of the potential methods used by the Backstory Invader (the other being full-scale Reality Warper). Compare Exposition Beam.

Thursday Next spends most of the novel First Among Sequels convinced that she has three children: Friday, Tuesday and Jenny. Jenny is eventually revealed to be a fabrication, placed in Thursday's mind by mnemonomorph Aornis Hades to torment her; Thursday's family have been playing along, laying a place at the dinner table for Jenny and telling Thursday she just left the room and so on, to try and save Thursday from the trauma. The full-on horror comes at the end of the scene, where Thursday has already forgotten the conversation and asks where Jenny is, making one wonder just how many times her family have had to go through this.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
In one episode, a young woman "recalls" that her father sexually abused her in her youth after a psychiatrist "recovers" memories of the abuse. In typical SVU fashion, it goes downhill from there, with the father being vilified as a monster by everyone, including the SVU department and his own family, culminating in the father being shot by his other daughter in a misguided attempt to protect her sister from him. Only then does the truth come to light.
A similarly themed episode goes in a different but still typically dark direction. When her imprisoned father reaches out to her, a young woman testifies in court that the testimony she gave as a child that sent him to prison for raping her was false and that her mother had convinced her the rape took place. Her father's conviction is overturned; however, she ends up unsure if her mother convinced her as a child that her father raped her, or, as the prosecutor argued, her father convinced her as an adult that he didn't.

Wonder Woman (1942): Steve Trevor is disturbed to learn that his actual Earth-One incarnation died (twice) and that he is a Steve from another earth whose memories were re-written so that neither he nor Diana would notice Earth-One Steve had been replaced. Diana cuts ties with her mother over this manipulation when she's told, and Steve ends up merging with the actual Earth-One Steve who wasn't quite dead.

In Wonder Woman (1987) Circe gave herself false memories as part of a gambit that involved tricking both Diana and Ares into believing a disguise was actually human. The trick worked a little too well and she became attached to her false identity, the morals she developed, and the friends she made which meant she was never quite the same after she changed back into Circe.

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony: All the students in the killing game this time around are actually normal students who willingly auditioned to be on the latest season of the popular reality TV show based on the Danganronpa games and anime. Their memories and personalities were replaced with fake "Ultimate Student" personalities and backstories, and every chapter has them recovering new fake memories designed to progress the scripted plot of the season. When they find out, they are appropriately horrified, especially after watching videos of their old selves auditioning, happily boasting that if they get picked they will surely provide some gory kills for everyone's entertainment... assuming that these aren't fabrications or lies themselves, considering that it's coming from Tsumigi, who is trying to persuade them to give up.

This is a central trope in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, when we learn that Don Thousand toyed with the Past-Life Memories of the Seven Barian Emperors to fill them with hatred and resentment before they perish as part of his Evil Plan, after of course making the necessary arrangements to make sure a cruel demise strikes them early.

The Flight Attendant:
Cassandra "Cassie" Bowden has done this to herself regarding her childhood memories through a combination of alcohol and rose-colored wish-thinking regarding her relationship with her father and brother. In "After Dark", she ends up in jail and goes into one of her "memory palace" hallucinations with Alex Sokolov, the dead guy whom she woke up with at the beginning of the series and has been trying to figure out who really murdered him. She recalls a happy birthday party with her father, mother and brother, only for the scene to change and it show her abusive, alcoholic father and herself taunting her brother Davey by playing around smashing his cake and then their father knocking him to the ground when he protests. She asks Alex why it changed, what it is that he's doing. "Stop doing this," she tells him, but he replies, "Whatever this is, you're doing it." As the scene continues, he explains "Cassie, this is what really happened."
In the second season, Cassie has constructed a perfect life for herself in which she has a year sober. In reality, she's relapsed twice and has been suppressing the memory of having done so.

In Misfile, reality shifted thanks to Rumisiel misfiling Ash and Emily's files. Everyone but those three (and it's implied God though He doesn't seem to be taking any action) have fake memories that lead them to believe that Ash was always a girl and Emily has yet to be a Harvard bound senior. Rumisiel can't confess his mistake to his superiors since they would likely just make the changes permanent which would alter the main characters' memories as well.

X-Men:
Wolverine is notorious for this; for a while there, anything he wasn't amnesiac about was probably a Fake Memory. The confusion has mostly been cleared up by now, however.
Cyclops had a number of these for years, regarding his family and the nature of the accident that damaged his brain and powers, partly due to the real head trauma and partly due to Mister Sinister's tinkering.
The retconned second team of X-Men, gathered to rescue the first from the clutches of a mad, living island, had this happen to them in a way. Xavier needs trained soldiers so he delves into their minds and speeds up their perception of time. They imagine many, many months of socializing and training and being generally awesome before they go out to rescue the X-Men. And then most of them die. Out of the survivors, one of them turns evil out of revenge and kills a lot of people.

Appears several times in Bleach:
Used by Soul Reapers for covering up spiritual activity in the World of the Living. Rukia is particularly trigger-happy with the device that does it. The Soul Reaper has no control over the replacement memories the target ends up with, resulting in sometimes outlandish results. Ichigo's family thinks everyone slept through a lorry crashing into the side of their house to explain the devastation caused by a Hollow attack that almost killed them; Orihime's bizarre tale for the devastation a Hollow attack causes to her house, is only accepted by everyone because Orihime's fantastic imagination is infamous. Orihime, however, turns out to be immune to the device because she possesses spiritual power.
Tsukishima describes his ability as the power to change the past of the person he cuts. He is able to implant memories in those he stabs, making them believe they were always his friends. It's used to agonizing effect to cause Ichigo's friends and family think he is their ally and Ichigo the one acting strange. Tsukishima even takes Ichigo's place in their adventures; they think he was the awesome hero who, among other things, defeated Aizen (instead of Ichigo), rescued Orihime from her Abusive Parents to raise her (instead of her brother Sora), and took care of Chad and gave him his Orphan's Plot Trinket (instead of Oscar, his "Abuelo"). And you better NOT try to fight what he makes you believe.
It can also be used quite effectively in combat. A single cut and he can now predict your every move, because he was the one who taught you your every move. His power doesn't just work on people either. He can easily kick your ass just by cutting the ground, making it so that he had already visited that area in the past and set up deathtraps everywhere. Of course, he's quite vulnerable to Indy Ploys. He can't know what you're going to do next if you don't either.
Also while Tsukishima can manipulate memories, he cannot manipulate emotions. Orihime, being in love with Ichigo, feels extreme heartbreak watching him be sad even when his role in her life was replaced by Tsukishima. Byakuya, who owes a tremendous debt towards and feels Undying Loyalty to Ichigo, unflinchingly cuts down Tsukishima despite having his memories changed so that the latter was his teacher.

Doom Patrol has a minor character under Rachel Pollack's run called the False Memory, whose powers are basically implanting memories into people who only have trouble figuring out when they happened. She's an ally the first time she appears, but the second time she uses her power to insert herself into the team, keeping the Bandage People happy with false memories of barbecuing with Jack Kennedy and George Bush and Robotman with memories of his ex-girlfriend Crazy Jane. However, she also makes Coagula believe she had been sexually assaulted by her nonexistent husband and his buddy when she was 18. Dorothy Spinner, who is already very emotionally disturbed, manages to snap the rest of her teammates out of their funk by refusing to accept the False Memory's lies. When exposed, she states she meant to give the others more meaning in their lives, but Coagula is disgusted at the notion that being raped gave her life meaning.

Season 2 of Haven appears to indicate that Audrey's memories are fake and that she's really Lucy Ripley, when the real Audrey Parker shows up. Then it turns out that she's not Lucy either. She's seemingly ageless, and returns to Haven every 27 years with a new set of someone else's memories, and each time helps with the Troubles. She was Sarah Vernon in 1956, Lucy Ripley in 1983, and now Audrey Parker in the present. Season 4 reveals that this body's original personality, Mara, is super evil. She created the Troubles, and her punishment is to have altruistic overlay personalities take over every 27 years and help people she cursed. For eternity, it seems, until she's released in season 5 and becomes the new Big Bad.

Anton-Babinski syndrome, or Anton's Blindness, is a condition in which an individual is blind to a large degree, but makes up an entirely false imagination, experience, and memory of vision. It's very rare, but interesting enough to be seen in House MD.
Human visual analysis was proved to be error-suppressing. If a little part of the eye's field of vision is partially blocked by something immovable relative to the eyeball, this part is filled with "repaired" texture extrapolated from the rest of the scene. Sorry guys — error tolerance, lack of artifacts, good signal-to-noise ratio and high sensitivity seem to not to be fully compatible qualities.
The reverse can also happen, a phenomenon known as Hysterical Blindness. A person can see completely, but is fully convinced they are blind. (It's tested by having people who are actually blind/them go through a room. They either have close to 0% success, or close to 100% success at key tasks, while people who are actually blind have about 50% success.)
There also is a similar condition called blind sightedness, where a person has suffered brain damage to the connection between their consciousness and their visual processing. A person with this condition cannot consciously see anything but will still walk around obstacles as though they can see and won't be aware that they are doing it.

In one chapter of the original manga, the antagonist gets a random garbage man to do some hacking jobs for him by promising to help him getting back his wife and daughter, which both never existed. The adaptation of the story for the 1995 movie had the mook who was the garbage man's direct contact be told that he had been mind wiped, leaving only the basics of his cover identity with no knowledge about his actual boss. In both cases, it works flawlessly until someone Pulls The Thread. The garbage man is told that it's impossible to completely erase the false memories. The 2017 live-action adaptation also includes a version of this story, modified to fit the film's main plot.

In Umineko: When They Cry, the beginning of EP3 where a young Beatrice meets Virgilia turns out to be this. However, this is a variant where the memory is fake on purpose; it's really just Yasu's memory of his/her time spent with Kumasawa, but with a very heavy layer of fantasy to make it more idealized and magical.

Serial Experiments Lain, a Mind Screw series if there ever was one, is largely built around exploring this trope: Lain Iwakura, with the ability to alter humanity's collective memory, is forced to deal with the questions of what reality is. Eventually she writes herself out of existence by removing all memories of herself from the world.

Wreck-It Ralph: Everything the game characters remember about their backstory didn't actually happen; it's just part of their character design. It's specifically noted how, for Hero's Duty, Calhoun was designed with "the most tragic backstory ever". A second layer of fake memories were added to all the Sugar Rush characters after Turbo hacked the game and locked away their official memories so they'd all remember his "King Candy" persona as if he'd always been a part of their game and would think Vanellope, whose place he usurped, had always been a glitch.

When Back to the Future was first released on VHS, a To Be Continued caption was added at the end to set up the coming sequel. Many people "remember" seeing this caption when the movie was originally in theaters and the filmmakers have had a hard time convincing them that this would be impossible. At the time, most of the films directed by Robert Zemeckis had flopped and so his only hope for Back to the Future was that it would make its money back. There were certainly no sequels planned at that stage.

Not only does the house suddenly take on traits of having been lived in, like piles of cigarettes appearing in an ashtray and children's heights scrawling themselves on the walls, but the couple starts talking about things they regret not doing "years" ago.

The Outer Limits (1995): The episode titled "The Sentence" has almost the same plot as on Deep Space Nine, with David Hyde Pierce as the creator of a virtual prison which works by implanted memories. However, it works too well, such that the first prisoner put into it dies of shock after he gets caught up in a virtual riot. Then the creator is himself sent to prison when he's convicted of causing the man's death by negligence. It turns out this all happened inside of his head after he went inside the virtual prison to save the man. Feeling guilty in creating it, he sent himself to a virtual prison for twenty years.

In Fullmetal Alchemist, Barry the Chopper taunts Al with suggestions that his memories aren't actually real, and he's just an artificial being created by Ed. He was clearly pulling the idea out of his ass and Al initially dismisses it as such, but soon he can’t get the idea out of his head and starts doubting himself. After angsting about it for several episodes, Winry reassures him that it can't possibly be true; he recalls some events involving himself and Winry from before getting put into the armor that Ed wasn't present for, so there's no way he could've fabricated those memories.

In Scott Pilgrim, the reason why Scott thinks that he was a blameless paragon of virtue in high school, even though he was a dick, was because Gideon Graves "spiced up" his memories. Though part of that was Scott's own fault as well. It was mainly his "beating up Kim's former boyfriend" part that Gideon messed with.

Waltz with Bashir deals with the various ways in which the human mind defends itself against unpleasant memories, or the lack of memories altogether. In Ari's first conversation with his psychologist friend, the psychologist describes an experiment where people were shown several photographs from their childhood, one of which was completely faked. They were then sent home for a few days, and when some of them returned they had invented a complete backstory to explain the faked photograph — fully believing it was just as real as the other photographs.

Wonder Woman:
As the start of Donna's impressive Continuity Snarl, Who Is Wonder Girl? reveals that Donna's memories of being rescued from a fire as a child and attending high school are false, and that she was actually grabbed by Rea and given powers by the Titans.
Wonder Woman (1942): Steve Trevor is disturbed to learn that his actual Earth-One incarnation died (twice) and that he is a Steve from another earth whose memories were re-written so that neither he nor Diana would notice Earth-One Steve had been replaced. Diana cuts ties with her mother over this manipulation when she's told, and Steve ends up merging with the actual Earth-One Steve who wasn't quite dead.
In Wonder Woman (1987) Circe gave herself false memories as part of a gambit that involved tricking both Diana and Ares into believing a disguise was actually human. The trick worked a little too well and she became attached to her false identity, the morals she developed, and the friends she made which meant she was never quite the same after she changed back into Circe.
The actions of the New 52's Wonder Woman was later retconned as false implanted memories in Wonder Woman (Rebirth). Even her mother's design was changed in these memoriesnote The New 52 version of Hippolyta is a blonde but the "real" version is the Post-Crisis black-haired incarnation..

In the original Total Recall (1990), the main character has visions of a life on Mars that contradicts his memories of a quiet blue-collar life on Earth. He starts to regain his earlier memories with the help of a Note to Self, but it turns out those were fake memories, too, all part of an elaborate Manchurian Agent plot. But then, you never really know whether it was All Just a Dream anyway.

The Total Recall (2012) remake removes the ambiguity and makes it clear that Hauser did indeed have a change of heart and switched from being Cohaagen's top agent to La Résistance out of love. What Cohaagen was going to do after killing the leader of La Résistance was to implant Hauser's pre-Heel–Face Turn memories in him, so he could get his agent back.

In a season 4 episode of Supernatural, Dean "Smith" and Sam "Wesson" work for a large corporation, where they stumble upon a deadly ghost. After they instinctively work to get rid of the ghost, and both quit their jobs to "hunt" full-time, the angel Zachariah, who was disguised as their boss, appears and explains to Dean that he gave them fake memories to show Dean that hunting is in his blood; no matter who he is, he is always a hunter. Of course, Zachariah is obviously trying to push Dean "Smith" away from his "job". He offers him a huge bonus but wants Dean to be, effectively, chained to his desk for the next several years with no social life or any other thoughts but work. Not many people, especially young people, would be thrilled by this prospect.

Booker DeWitt in BioShock Infinite has a recurring M.O. in the form of the phrase "Bring us the girl, and wipe away the debt." What he (and the player) believes this to mean throughout most of the game is that he has been sent by a mysterious employer to retrieve a girl named Elizabeth from Columbia's founder Zachary Comstock in order to wipe away his gambling debts. As it turns out, Elizabeth is actually Anna—Booker's daughter—whom he gave away to Comstock as a young man soon after she was born, an action which he heavily regretted once he realized what he had done. He went to Columbia to save her from Comstock, but crossing a dimensional portal to get there wiped many of his memories and created false ones in order for him to properly function. The opening quote of the game, attributed to the Lutece twins, foreshadows this:

In Beyond the End, Everyone believes that Eremiel was the true good among angels, the martyr that was slain by Lucifer when he rebelled against Heaven. As it turns out, Eremiel was a Magnificent Bastard with a God complex that smoked the Devil's lettuce at the pearly gates. He loved rebelling against Heaven. Eremiel had used the last of his power to make everyone forget what he was truly like, hoping they'd just forget about him entirely, only for it to backfire and he became a martyr instead.

A more famous example of this in video games is Final Fantasy VII: The hero Cloud came back from Heroic BSoD with a set of memories half-borrowed from his now dead best friend, Zack. Zack's former girlfriend becomes a potential Love Interest (and Hilarity Ensues for some time before tragedy hits). Surprisingly subtle Foreshadowing occurs despite Tifa trying to keep the truth from him, leading to one of video game history's perennial Tomato in the Mirror scenes.

The Torchwood episode "Adam" is another instance of false memories being used to infiltrate the team. Adam also uses them to begin a sexual relationship with Toshiko. It's particularly dark when Adam makes Ianto think he murdered several women in order to prevent him from exposing Adam; Ianto cracks underneath the guilt, horrified he would do anything so terrible. It's also physically painful for him — he screams and thrashes in pain with each new implanted memory. Thankfully, in the end, the team wipes all their memories of the day in order to banish Adam back to the void.

As they explain it, "old friends" Folse and Andela Tarmi arrived at the Trevans' inn, spent several weeks reminiscing about their past together and throwing parties for the staff, and sent the overworked Trevans off on a vacation while promising to look after their inn. However, nine days into their vacation, the spell wore off the Trevans, who realized that the Tarmis were total frauds. They raced back to the inn, only to discover that they were now magically prevented from approaching within sight of it. Cue John and George being enlisted to go see what's going on.

In Star Trek: String Theory, a Nacene inserts herself into the starship Voyager’s crew, and takes the form of Captain Janeway’s sister Phoebe. Almost everyone suddenly has an entirely altered set of memories, in which "Phoebe" was aboard the ship all along. The only ones not affected were the Doctor (due to being a hologram, though "Phoebe" reprograms him), and Harry Kim and Naomi Wildman (due to being slightly out of "quantum sync" with everyone else).

In the final game of the Galaxy Angel II trilogy, Eigou Kaiki no Toki, this is revealed to be a plot point in Kahlua/Tequila's chapter. Her mentor, Madame Caraway, was the one who helped her create the Split Personality to cope with the trauma that prevented her from using her magic, but also partly modified the memories so that Kahlua believed she was the original personality, while in reality it was actually Tequila.

In Puella Magi Kazumi Magica, Umika has the ability to alter memories and uses it on the incubator Jyubey, to force him into becoming subservial to the Pleiades Saints. Then it turns out that the Pleiades Saints performed this on themselves and the entire city of Asurano, meaning the beforementioned scene itself was a lie. They cast a spell over the city that makes incubators invisible and soundless to everyone, replaced any memory of Kyubey they had with the artificial Jyubey, and the knowledge Kyubey gave them about the relationship between Soul Gems and Grief Seeds. They wanted to avoid more magical girls being created and eventually turn into witches, as a way for them to rebel against the incubators' system. The true memory returns towards the climax of the series.

Bloodshot uses this for Ray; where Ray thinks he's going after the man who killed his wife, Doctor Emil Harting has been implanting false memories of his former business partners killing Ray's wife and changing their faces after each "assassination" so that Ray will eliminate everyone else who knows about Harting's work, reasoning that Ray will fight harder if he thinks he's avenging someone.

So I'm a Spider, So What?: Kumoko's memories of her past life in Japan are largely fabrications planted there by D, mixed in with her actual memories of being a spider in the classroom. While the memories are real-ish due to being from D's perspective as Wakaba Hiro, they were also maliciously edited just to make Kumoko feel worse about herself. The entire goal of planting these memories was an overly-elaborate prank on D's subordinates in the afterlife which failed because Kumoko didn't die as planned.

Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: One of the things that makes the Witch Trials difficult for Phoenix is that witnesses can simply claim their memories were tampered with by magic and revise their testimony. The real example is the secret behind Labyrinthia. The people living in the town are all volunteers for a long term hypnosis experiment. Everyone there had their memories suppressed, and replaced with a couple of details. They filled the rest in on their own. Taken further when Eve tampered with people's memories to make it seem like Phoenix had always been a baker in the town.

The fear of this is an important element in Captain Marvel — Vers has a repeating dream that may or may not be from her past, and after the Skrulls use a mind-reading machine to try to dig into her past and she goes to Earth, she begins to remember more and more of a past as Carol Danvers... but she isn't certain what she remembers is real, contributing to her identity crisis. The dream is false, although it isn't clear if it was deliberately faked or simply shifted around as dreams are wont to do — she later remembers what actually happened, which is almost exactly the same... except it wasn't a Skrull that menaced her, it was Yon-Rogg.

Some fans of Big claim that the film ended with a scene where Susan becomes a student in Josh's class by using the Zoltar machine to de-age herself. A mention of this ending was even published in a 2005 Canadian print of The Book of Lists, which claimed it was only used on test screenings. Most people theorize that people remembering this ending are instead remembering the ending to 14 Going On 30, a movie with a similar premise.

The main cast of Schlock Mercenary had their memories altered, voluntarily since the alternative was being killed for knowing too much about the UNS's super-soldier and immortality projects. Because they didn't want to stumble back into the same situation again, Tagon made a point of asking their brainwashers to do as good a job as humanly possible, and the only one who left himself a Note to Self did it so he could act on a grudge and reminded himself to keep it a secret. Eventually, Petey reveals to them what happened, and though he can't restore their memories (Except Kevyn's), he offers to subtly alter the fake memories so they can tell them apart from the real ones.

A peculiar version occurs in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four: the citizens of Oceania alter their own memories, in a way, whenever the Party RetCons the past. Through the process of doublethink, they can recall past events if need be (hence, if the Party "tells" them to). And of course, recall the previously forgotten and forbidden memory when required by the party to do so. The definition of 'doublethink' and a common ability of non-fictional political animals. One of the points of the book. Monday: 'We are at war with Eastasia and have always been at war wih Eastasia'. Tuesday: 'We are at war with Eurasia, and have always been at war with Eurasia'.

In the Red Dwarf episode "Thanks for the Memory", Lister gives Rimmer memories of having had a girlfriend as a present, but it backfires, and they end up having to do mind wipes. (Of course, that too backfires due to natural curiosity, and they find out what happened anyway.) A problem with this trope is lampshaded when Rimmer wonders how he could have his appendix out twice, and why he ended up dumping this girl who wanted him to get a proper job and a stable relationship — something Rimmer wants but Lister hated.

There a several magical abilities in Exalted that can modify or remove memories. Most such effects cause false memories in the place of whatever was tampered with. For example, the Sidereal charm Avoidance Kata teleports the user out of a fight and makes everyone present forget that he was ever there to begin with. If the Sidereal has done something important during the scene, then those present misremember the deed as being done by someone else.

Ghost in the Shell:
In one chapter of the original manga, the antagonist gets a random garbage man to do some hacking jobs for him by promising to help him getting back his wife and daughter, which both never existed. The adaptation of the story for the 1995 movie had the mook who was the garbage man's direct contact be told that he had been mind wiped, leaving only the basics of his cover identity with no knowledge about his actual boss. In both cases, it works flawlessly until someone Pulls The Thread. The garbage man is told that it's impossible to completely erase the false memories. The 2017 live-action adaptation also includes a version of this story, modified to fit the film's main plot.
In Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, the Laughing Man alters the memories of everyone who manages to see his real face so that they just remember his iconic "laughing face and The Catcher in the Rye quote" icon. He's even thorough enough that any police who hear testimony from the few witnesses without hackable cyberbrains at the scene can only remember or sketch the icon.
In the prequel series Ghost in the Shell: Arise this is done via a virus to Motoko Kusanagi herself, in order to frame her for corruption and murder.
Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045:
On returning to Section 9, the Major leaves their American mercenary recruit with false memories of their time together as she wants to cut ties with him, but leaves a password-protected copy of his real memories in his payment file just in case she feels the need to bring him back.
Togusa uses a pair of bugging devices to make some goons think they killed him and dumped his body in the harbor. Batou congratulates him for a move worthy of the Major herself.

In Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-:
Fei Wong Reed did this to Fay as a part of his crazy elaborate plan. He made Fay believe that he sacrificed his brother's life to escape from the hellish imprisonment the two had endured for most of their childhood. Though in reality Fay's brother gave his life willingly in exchange for Fay's freedom.
Also used in the anime, during the filler episodes, where Chaos uses fake feathers/memories to convince Sakura that she's known Chaos since she was a child. Of course, then it turns out that Chaos is actually just a big bunch of Sakura's feathers.

In InCryptid, the humanoid telepathic wasp-things, called Cuckoos, do this from the cradle, when they are dumped on random human families' doorsteps (because all cuckoos hate each other) and instinctively convince the humans they've always had a baby. After they invariably murder the hell out of their adoptive family, they retroactively insert themselves into people's lives as best friends/family members/spouses either to get something or just because it's fun.

Related to this is Source Amnesia, where you recall a piece of information but forget what the source was. For example, suppose as a child you watched an episode of The Doodlebops where one character goes to the moon and, while there, is weightless. Nobody would cite a children's show as a source of serious scientific information, yet your brain will register the "fact" that a person on the moon will experience weightlessness, while forgetting that the source was a silly children's show.

Once the Subroutine is defeated, the revealed truth shows that Claptrap used explosives instead of fireworks during the party resulting in havoc, deaths and hatred toward him.

During the second to last book of Galaxy of Fear, an automated system for growing clones impossibly fast and implanting them with the scanned memories of their templates is stumbled upon. Clones with scanned memories usually seem to have different emotional responses to the memories than their templates did. A Darth Vader clone, looking for minions, gives the facility skin and hair samples scavenged from an abandoned Rebel base, but since these don't come with mind scans the clones are not very useful... yet, when the protagonists find them, these clones can all speak, believe they're Rebels, and have names, even if those don't match the names of their templates.

In Fallout 4, when Danse learns that he is actually a synth and not a human, one of the reasons why he's extremely distressed is because he realizes that all the memories he has of being a child are fake, since Synths don't grow up, and are instead created by The Institute as adults, mentally and physically, right out of the gate. He believes that The Institute implanted those memories into him (putting aside the fact that that belief doesn't track according to in-game events and information) and is doubly upset that his memories are of being an orphan and growing up completely alone — he's angry that they didn't even bother to give him a fake family.

Shadowplay can produce these in Transformers: More than Meets the Eye. Chromedome specifically leaves some in Overlord's mind subtly altering the Decepticon’s memories of his greatest defeats for the purposes of creating a trigger word that would shut him down with fear when uttered.

Marco & the Galaxy Dragon: The Love mutants can insert false memories into a person’s mind, making them think that the mutant is a dear friend. They only give their victims happy memories, however, meaning that the victim can realize they’re being tricked if they can’t dredge up any bad memories of whoever the mutant is impersonating.

In The Supergirl Saga, Matrix was originally assumed to be Lana Lang from a pocket universe, who was given superpowers by the Lex Luthor of the same universe. As it turned out, though, she was actually an artificial lifeform given both the appearance and memories of Lana Lang to gain Superman's trust, as the actual Pocket Universe Lana Lang had already died at the hands of the Phantom Zone criminals.

Farscape:
This is done to John in an early episode. A group of Delvians make him think he is married and his wife is with him on the planet, complete with fake memories of her being involved in all of his adventures. The point is to distract him and fracture his mind so they can get to Zhaan. Interestingly, he doesn't discover the truth on his own and is only released from the delusions when one of the bad guys has a change of heart.
Another episode has a farming colony who are basically kept as slaves via perpetual use of this trope to have them wake up every day thinking it's the last day of the work week, so they never have to actually get paid and can't even organize a resistance to protest the terrible conditions.

Shelter: At the start of the short film, a teenage Rin recalls witnessing the apocalypse herself. However, after viewing her father's memories, the truth is that she was most likely unaware of the apocalypse when she was placed in the shuttle and sent away by Shigeru, implying that she had seen a glimpse of her father's memories of the apocalypse.

Stargate SG-1:
In a first-season episode, the whole team was made to believe Daniel was dead. Naturally, the truth was uncovered through hypnosis.
Another example: "The Fifth Man" in which an alien with this as a power becomes the fifth member of the team, there all along. Unusually, he's a friendly alien seeking to ally with them, and the pheromone that lets his species do this is extracted and used in a later episode to allow Daniel to infiltrate a Goa'uld summit.
In another episode, the team discovers a village on a toxic planet protected by a force field. Each villager also have a direct mental link to the city computer (like an always available Wikipedia to seek information). When suddenly villagers' memories start to contradict events the team recalls from previous days on the planet, they discover that the computer can't sustain the energy field due to a power shortage and is slowly shrinking it. Since the field cannot hold as many people each time it shrinks, the computer uses the mental link to send people outside the shield to die and modify the other villagers' memories to make them Ret-Gone so no one is mourning their deaths. Since the team aren't linked to the computer, they are not affected by the false memories and can discover the truth.
And yet another (it appears that Stargate loves this trope): SG-1 was given "memory stamps" to believe they're part of a tiny colony working day and night to keep their civilization going during a massive ice age. Truth is, the ice age is on the wane, but a privileged class is keeping the workers at it for the extra energy. SG-1 found out and had to be hidden away. Teal'c jinxes the attempt because he forgets he needs to meditate and his symbiote literally can't restore his health until he does.
And one more: Mitchell is implanted with fake memories to frame him for a crime. Turns out that the real murderer erased his own memories of the crime, then grieves over the victim's death — she was his ex-wife, and he killed her in a fit of jealousy when he found her with Mitchell — and helps SG-1 track down the real killer, unwittingly exposing himself.
In a later episode, Mitchell uses the same device to let a dying friend of his experience his adventures. It's not like that friend is going to tell anyone.

In The Vampire Diaries, this trope is used so often that the plot practically runs on it. At points in Season 1, it seems that Caroline's brain is going to melt out of her ears with the frequency that she's mindwiped by Damon. It's still not that clear what exactly she knows when.

In Drakengard 3, it is established that when Zero attempted to remove the Flower from her body and inadvertently created her five sisters, each of them was born with memories of lives they did not, and obviously could not, have lived. While it is implied that most of them realized this, Four never really gained a grip on reality.

Cradle Series: Early in the series, Suriel shows Lindon the most powerful people in the world, physically transporting him around the world so he can watch them at work. Later, he gets a mind spirit named Dross who can organize his memories. Later still, he needs to show these memories to his allies—but when Dross tries to project them, they come out noticeably changed. Suriel is replaced with someone much less impressive (and closer to the power level the world is used to), she conjures visions instead of physically taking him places, and the secrets she revealed to him are edited to be more in line with what is public knowledge. Lindon quickly realizes that what he remembers has to be the truth, as too little would make no sense if he was delusional. In particular, one of the memories talks about Northstrider in the past tense because he had been Faking the Dead at the time, even though he was already revealed to be alive and well less than a month earlier. Everyone is very confused that his memories would be protected in such a way, since this doesn't even prevent him from talking about it.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
Subverted in "Whispers", in which O'Brien returns from an away mission and realizes that something real nasty is going on. His wife is distant, his friends are acting strange, and his subordinates are sneaking around behind his back (with the help of his superiors). He's convinced that everybody has compromised or replaced as part of a trap for some soon-to-be visiting diplomats. When the entire station is suddenly trying to capture or kill him, he manages to escape and rushes to warn their allies. It turns out that O'Brien himself is not real, he's a hidden assassin with fake memories copied from the real one to make him a perfect undercover sleeper agent. The memories are actually too good, if anything, because he acts just like the real O'Brien would have and thus refuses to let it slide when he feels something is wrong.
There's a particularly effective example in "Hard Time", where Chief O'Brien is punished (by aliens) for a crime he didn't even know was illegal (he asked some minor questions about tech they consider classified), and the punishment is to simulate 20 years of prison in his mind while only a few hours pass in real life. While the Federation's medical tech is good enough that they could actually remove fake memories via medical and psychological treatment, in this case it's explicitly noted that O'Brien really did experience these events within the artificial environment. This is part of what haunts him, despite being fully aware of their nature once he's brought out. He still feels guilty about certain choices he made and things he did in the prison he experienced in his mind. The guilt has a profound effect on his emotional state, nearly driving him to suicide.

Power Girl from DC Comics had her original Earth-Two Kryptonian origin dismissed as a fake memory by Arion the sorcerer who reveals to her her at-the-time "true" Post-Crisis origin of being his granddaughter who was genetically manipulated to be given Kryptonian-like powers. Later on, it turns out that her new "true" origin was in itself a fake memory and that she was truly an Earth-Two Kryptonian who had somehow survived the merging of the Earth universes to create the Post-Crisis New Earth.

The world becomes convinced Xemnu is a renowned hero, and Robert Banner is a creepy, sociopathic terrorist. However, it is possible to see through the fake memories, with some effort. Xemnu also gives Dario fake memories to make him believe he's shielded from Xemnu's powers to give him a false sense of security. When Xemnu decides he no longer needs Dario and turns on him, Dario is horrified to realize the truth.

In The Force Unleashed II, Darth Vader and a hallucination of Rahm Kota taunt the protagonist on how he's not Starkiller, redeemed Jedi and the founder of the Alliance To Restore The Republic, but a clone. It is left ambiguous as to whether he was the original Starkiller with false memories of being a clone, or a clone with false memories of being the original Starkiller. And depending on the ending, it might not matter.

In Frozen (2013), Grand Pabbie cures a young Anna of the "brain freeze" Elsa accidentally inflicted on her. He also modifies Anna's memories so that she forgets that Elsa has magic, to be safe. He assures her family that while he removed the magic, he "kept the fun". This is shown by the image of a memory of Anna and Elsa playing in magically created snow replaced by an image of them playing in ordinary snow instead.

Star Trek:
Star Trek: The Original Series: In the episode "Day of the Dove", the entity using the Enterprise crew and Klingons against each other plants memories of Ensign Chekov's brother Piotr being a victim of a Klingon massacre. After he goes off to seek vengeance, Sulu points out to Captain Kirk that Chekov doesn't have a brother.
Star Trek: The Next Generation:
"The Mind's Eye" has Geordi leave for a two-week vacation and come back full of stories, only to find out that the Romulans abducted him just after he left, implanted fake memories of the vacation he was supposed to be taking and hypnotized him in an attempt to turn him into a Manchurian Agent. The episode ends with him trying to reconstruct his memories with Troi's help.
"Conundrum" featured an alien who erased the memories of the crew, altered the Enterprise's records to convince them the Federation was at war with the enemies of his people, and infiltrated them as a never-before-seen crewmember. He planned to use the Enterprise's superior weaponry to win the war for his side.

Star Trek: Voyager:
In "Course: Oblivion", the entire crew discovers their memories are fake. They're actually not the Voyager crew at all, but Silver Blood duplicates who think they're the originals.
In "Memorial", the members of a recently returned away team start having memories of a horrific massacre, to the point of experiencing various forms of PTSD. Turns out the actual massacre had been committed centuries earlier, and a system had been created (the titular "Memorial") to project the shameful memories of committing this massacre into the minds of passers-by, in order to ensure as best they could that it would always remain a visceral memory rather than a dusty note in a history book, and thus hopefully never happen again.
In "Workforce", the crew is brainwashed to believe that they belong on the planet they are being forced to work on.
Star Trek: Picard: In "The Impossible Box", Soji realizes something is off with her memories after discovering that all her belongings and photographs are 37 months old.

In one episode of Legend of the Seeker, this was used by a murderer to make someone else believe they had committed the crime. Especially tricky because not only would the person with the fake memories admit to the crime under Confession, but once the heroes had figured out that fake memories were involved, the killer planted the memories of planting the previous false memories in yet another innocent person.

One reason true eidetic memory enjoys the profile it has despite its extreme rarity is it just so happens that one of these extremely few people in the world who has it is Marilu Henner, already a celebrity as an actress (best known as Elaine Nardo on Taxi). Henner's friend Lesley Stahl chose to involve her in a 60 Minutes story on eidetic memory because she recognized that Henner had the condition from how it was described to her. She makes for an ideal subject in the experimental testing that researchers do on people with true eidetic memory because, as a public figure, it's very easy to find out verifiable information about her past.

In The Unknown Supergirl, villainess Lesla-Lar kidnaps Supergirl and implants fake memories in her mind to make her believe she is Lesla-Lar herself. Later, in The Girl with the X-Ray Mind, Lesla kidnaps Lena Thorul and also changes her memories so Lena believes she is a Kryptonian scientist with no memory of her real life on Earth.
Power Girl from DC Comics had her original Earth-Two Kryptonian origin dismissed as a fake memory by Arion the sorcerer who reveals to her her at-the-time "true" Post-Crisis origin of being his granddaughter who was genetically manipulated to be given Kryptonian-like powers. Later on, it turns out that her new "true" origin was in itself a fake memory and that she was truly an Earth-Two Kryptonian who had somehow survived the merging of the Earth universes to create the Post-Crisis New Earth.
In The Supergirl Saga, Matrix was originally assumed to be Lana Lang from a pocket universe, who was given superpowers by the Lex Luthor of the same universe. As it turned out, though, she was actually an artificial lifeform given both the appearance and memories of Lana Lang to gain Superman's trust, as the actual Pocket Universe Lana Lang had already died at the hands of the Phantom Zone criminals.

Countless fans of The Wizard of Oz "remember" that the first time they saw the movie (either on TV or on an early VHS), the camera panned down at the end to reveal the Ruby Slippers under Dorothy's bed, proving that her adventure in Oz was Real After All.

The point of the Dollhouse. It's a company which takes operatives called 'Dolls' whom they can program to be whomever they want; prostitute, spy, medical officer, assassin, perfect girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse, the list goes on. The Dolls are mostly volunteers who signed five-year contracts with the promise of having some personal trauma fixed at the end of their service, but some were... not volunteers. Each time the Doll has a full set of memories imprinted on them, at least until it's wiped and a new set is downloaded. Except, what happens if a Doll begins to keep his or her memories from past engagements? That's what starts to happen to the series protagonist, Echo.

Buck from The Accidental Spy, who's an orphan raised in Hong Kong and working as a salesman, suddenly had a premonition from dormant memories after being knocked unconscious during a robbery, and recalling his past that he's the long-lost son of a Korean millionaire, leading to his lengthy quest to discover his true parentage. Except that's a lie — it turns out that his memories are caused by a powerful hallucinogen spiked in his drink.

In Truth and Revelations, Harry Potter's new life as Daniel Jackson includes fake memories of a muggle childhood, incorporating such details as the deaths of his parents and basically downloading in most of the knowledge he'd need to actually be an archaeologist. As Daniel explains to the rest of SG-1, he needed the fake memories to help give himself the experience needed to be good at his new career, while the unpleasant past (including the deaths of his parents in an accident when he was eight) was intended to give him a reason why he wouldn't like to discuss it too much, thus saving him from feeling like he was lying to people.

In Sisters, second-youngest sister Georgie's therapist queries whether she had been molested by anyone, citing that it is frequently a cause of the depression and anxiety that she's been battling. That very night, Georgie apparently has a flashback of her father touching her inappropriately. Within weeks, she's not only convinced that her father repeatedly molested her, she accuses her mother of turning a blind eye to it and her sisters of being in denial as well (when they repeatedly deny being similarly abused), claiming that it would explain the myriad of problems that they've had, accusing her husband of being unsupportive, ultimately cutting them all out of her life, all with her therapist's encouragement. Only months later, watching one of her sisters, a doctor, examining her ill son, does she realize that what she remembered was not her father abusing her, but examining her (he was a doctor as well). She's horrified to realize that the whole thing was a ploy by her therapist to isolate her from her loved ones and ultimately seduce her.

The Maze Runner series has Thomas, Newt and Minho defy this trope. In The Death Cure, WICKED's surviving subjects are told they are going to have the memories that were taken from them before they entered the Mazes note one for Group A, one for Group B restored. However, though most of the kids go through with the procedure, Thomas and his friends decline because they suspect WICKED may be planning to plant false memories in their brains.

In One Piece, Charlotte Pudding ate the Memory-Memory Fruit, which grants the power to pull other people's memories from their heads like a strip of film (rendering them unconscious in the meantime). Once extruded, the memories can be cut, spliced, and otherwise edited like the film that it resembles.

In Mother 3, all of Tazmily Village suffers from this. After their world was destroyed, they came to Nowhere Islands via the White Ship and replaced their memories with new ones in order to avoid a similar corruption. This is foreshadowed throughout, such as Duster and his father not really knowing how he got that leg injury.

Code Geass:
The second season begins with Lelouch living a quiet, peaceful life. Only after C.C. makes contact with him does he remember being captured and given Fake Memories through the Geass of his father the Emperor, causing him to forget his beloved mother Marianne and sister Nunnally and having been the terrorist Zero, as well as convincing him that the spy Rolo Haliburton is actually his younger brother. Not only that, but everyone in the school is given exactly the same fake memories to make the effect even stronger. They all believe that Lelouch is nothing more and nothing less than a fellow student, and that Rolo is his brother, whereas Nunally is merely a pretty and kind Britannian princess that later becomes the Viceroy of Area 11. And then, Shirley has her true memories back via Jeremiah, but makes the mistake of mentioning Nunnally while speaking to Rolo...
Similarly, Action Girl Anya Earlstreim has her memories rewritten to cover up how she's the Soul Jar of Lelouch's mother, Empress Marianne. It really fucks up with her self-worth, as the poor girl never knows which memories are hers or not.

Read or Die: The TV Series has Joker stating that the British Library did this to The Paper Sisters. Anita was originally a British Library test subject, and Maggie and Michelle were former Dokusensha Agents who were modified. Dokusensha had tried this before, but previous test subjects went insane. Joker tried telling them that even their memories of meeting each other for the first time were false, but they decide it doesn't matter. The ending shows the viewers the statue of Mary and Jesus in the church where they met, with their initials carved into the base; telling us that the events they remember from that point on were their own.

Eirin of the Touhou Project doujin The Silence of the Rabbits turns out to be quite skilled at this. Her experiments in cloning were responsible for the creation of Reisen as a Super-Soldier, and Reisen's memories of her past turn out to be these. In addition, Eirin, after finishing off the monstrously evil clone that is responsible for the doujin's copious amounts of Nightmare Fuel, does a heroic variant of this by rewriting both Reisen and Tewi's memories so that the horrible things they endured at the clone's hands (which necessitated putting their brains into new bodies) is remembered as nothing but a bad dream.

Final Fantasy:
A more famous example of this in video games is Final Fantasy VII: The hero Cloud came back from Heroic BSoD with a set of memories half-borrowed from his now dead best friend, Zack. Zack's former girlfriend becomes a potential Love Interest (and Hilarity Ensues for some time before tragedy hits). Surprisingly subtle Foreshadowing occurs despite Tifa trying to keep the truth from him, leading to one of video game history's perennial Tomato in the Mirror scenes.
This is also a plot point in Final Fantasy XVI: For roughly the first half of the game, protagonist Clive Rosfield is motivated to find the second dominant of fire who murdered his younger brother in the game's prologue. He eventually learns that he had been lying to himself the whole time, and that ''he'' was the other dominant who went on a rampage outside of his control.
In Dissidia Final Fantasy: Duodecim, this is how Kefka brainwashes Kuja into becoming a full-on antagonist for the next cycle, rather than the Anti-Villain he had been up to that point, by giving him fake memories of hating Zidane.

This is a central trope in Yu-Gi-Oh!

In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions, Aigami altered the memories of everyone in Domino City, implanting the notion that he was a new student at Domino High School.

In StarCraft, many marines and other low-ranking Terran infantry have their memories altered (usually to remove criminal character traits such as serial killing, cannibalism, etc.) using technology; this is called neural resocialization. It can be undone by trained psychics, and makes the individual more resistant to mind control by the hybrids. Multiple characters in the Expanded Universe novels and short stories have undergone the process.

In Another, Class 3-3 is cursed by the presence of an extra student who's already dead. While they're aware of the presence in general, working out the specifics is impossible because everyone, including the "Extra", has their memories altered as if things were like that the entire time. Even paperwork is changed to reflect this. Only after graduation can anything be fully pieced together because everything reverts back to normal.

Moon. A few weeks from the end of his solitary three-year contract on the Moon, the protagonist discovers he is a clone of the real Sam Bell. It turns out that the wife he's looking forward to seeing died years ago, his baby daughter is actually fifteen years old, and his body is beginning to break down whereupon he'll be incinerated and replaced with another Sam Bell with the same implanted memories, who'll believe he's just starting his three year contract.

Used in Push, by people called Pushers. Kira is a very powerful Pusher and once causes one of the guys guarding her to kill his partner by convincing him his partner killed his little brother in a rather gruesome way. The kicker? He never had a brother.
At one point Kira is made to think that her entire relationship with Nick was a false memory that she gave him and she's been pushing his thoughts the entire time they were together. She even believes that she made up the existence of Coney Island. The reality of a photo taken at Coney Island is the key evidence that causes her to realize that this was a fake memory.

There's some questions throughout the Sonic the Hedgehog series about whether the Shadow you play as is in fact the "real Shadow". In Sonic Adventure 2 these questions come about when Rouge finds information on the original Project Shadow, the Biolizard. The question is never actually answered, but the caption before fighting Biolizard refers to it as "the prototype of the ultimate life", meaning that there is a final product: Shadow the Hedgehog. In Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, this is modified to suggest that the ultimate lifeform is either Shadow or Sonic the Hedgehog, although only Shadow has reason to suspect this. In Sonic Heroes, it comes up again, as several Shadow Androids are discovered, leading Rouge to believe that Shadow is a robot himself. It's finally settled in (what else?) Shadow the Hedgehog, but only if you take long enough at the final boss to hear Eggman tell you that you're the real Shadow. The various endings throughout the game vary between Shadow accepting himself as real, or as an android. To sum up: Biolizard is created as an ultimate life form. Shadow is then created as the ultimate life form as well, using extra alien DNA. Then, Shadow nearly died, got recovered by Eggman with amnesia. He used Shadow's template to create a bunch of robots. So, Shadow's fake memories are real memories... but since (as Eggman acknowledges) this was not the result of Project Shadow, Shadow the Hedgehog is the "real" one. At least one of his memories is fake for sure: in Sonic Adventure 2's Last Story, his Roaring Rampage of Revenge was set off by Gerald changing his memory of the promise he made to Maria.

Spider-Man: In The Amazing Spider-Man (2018), the Sinister War story arc reveals that the past storyline Sins Past was a result of this; Sins Past revealed that Gwen Stacy had an affair with Norman Osborn and conceived twins who grew to adulthood in less than ten years. Here the villain Kindred (the soul of Harry Osborn reborn as a demon) reveals that those twins were actually flawed clones of Harry and Gwen created to give them new bodies; while Norman Osborn and Mary Jane recall the affair and Gwen telling her about it respectively, these memories were 'implanted' by Mysterio to better sell the scheme.

Critical Role
Jester Lavorre in can cast the spell Modify Memories, which works a bit like this. Her most notable use of it is when facing the hag Isharnai. The party needs a favor from the hag, but she will only grant it in return for a source of great misery. As an artist, Jester offers her hands, so she wouldn't be able to paint anymore, but requests that Isharnai share a final cupcake with her first. Jester has sprinkled the cupcake with a magical drug that weakens Isharnai's mental defenses, leaving her vulnerable to Modify Memory. Using it, she convinces the hag that they had such a good time sharing the cupcake that she voluntarily granted the favor, asking nothing in return.
This was used to devastating effect in Caleb Widogast's backstory. Near the end of his training as a Vollstrucker, Caleb returned home to his parents for a holiday, and overheard them talking about plans to betray the Empire. Knowing what he had to do, Caleb returned a few days later with two of his fellow trainees and, after they both murdered their own parents for the same reason, blocked the exit to his parents' home with a cart and set it on fire. Seeing and hearing his parents burn to death shattered him mentally, and he was admitted to an asylum for eleven years. At the end of those years, he met a woman who cast a spellnote most likely Greater Restoration on him that "took the clouds away"... as well as the false memories his teacher had implanted in him to make him think his parents were traitors.

Digital Devil Saga 2 has a horrific form of these, coupled with Demonic Possession. Turns out there's this virus that can transform you into a demon. Certain cases are worse than others, some reaching the degree where your mind is essentially overwritten and then it's just the demon driving your body. The worst part? The four or five cases where the victim's mind is permanently obliterated? All of them turned into angels.

In Left Behind, Chaim Rosenzweig is given the fake memory of Jonathan Stonagal killing his partner Joshua Todd-Cothran and then killing himself in a closed United Nations security council meeting, when in truth, as witnessed by Buck Williams who was under the protective hand of God, Nicolae Carpathia killed both Stonagal and Todd-Cothran with one single gunshot. Because Buck was immune to Carpathia's brainwashing, the memories of Chaim and the others present were also rewritten so that they have no memory of Buck even attending the meeting. In The Mark, when Chaim becomes a believer in Christ, he realizes that he and those present in the room with him except for Buck had all been brainwashed into believing that fake memory.

Doctor Who:
In "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood", this is one of the functions of the Chameleon Arch, which turns the Doctor into a human — memories and all. However, Joan Redfern eventually points out that "John Smith"'s memories are strictly factual, with no emotional content.
The big twist of "Utopia" is that the Master used a Chameleon Arch to escape the Time War, turning himself into the friendly Professor Yana.
In "Lie of the Land", aliens take over Earth and brainwash almost everyone into believing that the aliens have always been there to guide humanity, from the formation of life on Earth to the first Moon landing. Only a few have the willpower to resist the false history.

The Fetch from Changeling: The Lost are magical doppelgangers created by the True Fae when they abduct a human. The Fetch live out the lives of the people they've replaced, oblivious to the fact that their whole life is a shame...until the taken human, now a Changeling, escapes from Faerie. Most Fetch aren't aware anything's amiss until this happens, and most take the news they are fakes with memories stolen from a small piece of a person's soul poorly. Of course, sometimes the Fetch's memories are imperfect to begin with...

Integral to Blake's 7's first episode (and unfortunately dropped after that). Ordinary civilian Blake discovers that he was once a famous revolutionary who got captured, was forced to renounce the rebellion he'd led and had his memories replaced in order to turn him into a model citizen. Later, the Federation gets Blake convicted of child molestation by modifying the memories of children so they'd remember being attacked by Blake.

Empath: The Luckiest Smurf:
Vanity's duplicate Century has the same memories as Vanity, being duplicated from the mirror that created him in "The Hundredth Smurf" from mainstream Smurfs media. In the fanfiction story "Vanity's Double", Papa Smurf tells Century that if those memories that he had of his past are real to him, then they are real.
In "Little Sister Smurf Lost", Sassette's origin of being a magically-created Smurf created by the Smurflings also turns out to be a fake memory, one that Avengelica, the spirit that trapped her within a Crystal Prison, made all but Empath believe to be the truth, since he was the only Smurf not present at the time when she was released from her prison to continue living out her life as a Smurfling.

The Hunger Games. Peeta Mellark is subjected to this in Mockingjay as part of the Capitol's plan to brainwash him and turn him into a weapon against the rebellion. This is achieved through a brainwashing technique called hijacking where they use venom to alter a person's memories. Once the rebellion get a hold of him they try to reverse the effects but it mostly leaves him confused as to which memories are real and not real. After a while he begins to notice that the fake memories are shinier and brighter than the others. In the end he ends up getting a lot better, mostly through sheer force of will, and he no longer thinks Katniss is a threat to him. In fact, he falls back in love with her and they end up starting a family together. However the effects never truly go away and he occasionally has moments where the hijacking threatens to take over.

Sailor Moon:
Chibiusa does this with disconcerting frequency to Usagi's family in the second season. Somewhat justified as she doesn't alter their memories too badly and doesn't alter their personalities either: she only makes them believe she's the family niece, rather than Usagi's Kid from the Future.
At some point she's also at the receiving end of it, and it's much uglier. She's captured while at a very low emotional point, and then Wiseman uses this to make her believe her parents hated her. The Mind Rape leaves her liable to his manipulations and, after being forcibly infused with Dark Energy, she becomes Black Lady.
This also happens in the fifth season, where Usagi's family's memories are once again altered — this time to think Chibichibi is Usagi's little sister.

In MARZENA the Narrator hints several times that Lauren's memories of her past may not be quite all that accurate. We learn later on that Lauren's memories were actually incepted inside her head via a virtual reality created from the life of the real Lauren. All that done while she was in a drug induced state, ironically the same process she was using on her patients while working for Marian.

Once Upon a Time: The entire town of Storybrooke is full of fairy tale characters with Identity Amnesia who were given false memories that make them believe they are normal people, thanks to the Dark Curse that transported them from the Enchanted Forest to the Land Without Magic. Jefferson (The Mad Hatter)'s punishment is instead to have memories of his real identity, which drives him nearly mad. Regina (The Evil Queen) and Mr Gold (Rumplestiltskin) both also know who they really are (as the enactor of the Curse and the creator of it, respectively), and they presumably have fake memories that allow them to blend in with their amnesiac neighbors and other modern-day Earthlings, but these memories have no effect on their personalities. The only difference being that Regina knew the entire time, and Word of God states that Gold only remembers in the pilot after hearing Emma introduce herself.

Bee is distraught and can't believe what he's seeing, but when the memory reveals that Optimus Prime was also a double agent, he rejects the memory and destroys it.

In Nowhere Man, a man comes out of the bathroom to rejoin his birthday party, but no one knows who he is. He goes Walking the Earth, even visiting his mother at one point — she doesn't know who he is. All the while, he is being pursued by some secretive organisation who clearly must have manipulated everyone. In the end, we learn that he isn't who he thought he was — everything up until he left the bathroom was implanted memories.

Unknown (2011) has a case crossing these with Identity Amnesia, leading to a total Death of Personality. Dr. Martin Harris was only a cover story for the mercenary, but after he suffers a car accident and spends four days in a coma, all he could remember was this backstory as a scientist, rather than the assassination mission. And as he discovers his true story, Martin is disgusted and decides to stop the evil plot.

In The Golden Age by John C. Wright the hero Pheathon is attacked by exosolar assassin Scaramouche, except that the attack, and the events leading up to it, never took place. They were implanted by the villain in order to discredit the hero, and lure him into opening a Pandora's Box containing yet another set of false memories, which he removed to avoid lawsuit.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
In "Superstar", everyone gets fake memories of Jonathan being Sunnydale's own resident Marty Stu.
The introduction of Dawn at the start of Season Five. Not only does she believe she's Buffy's little sister, everyone else believes it, too. "You've always had to take care of Dawn." The strangeness of this is shown when Faith returns to Sunnydale is Season 7. Dawn is visibly cold to the rogue Slayer for Faith's past actions against Buffy, despite the fact that Dawn and Faith have never really met, and Dawn knows that she was actually a glowing ball of energy at the time.

Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo: Ed Miller's memories of his childhood have been greatly influenced by his aunt Claire sugarcoating it. Upon reliving them through hypnotherapy, the events are seen in a new light, case in points:
Ed remembers how his father used to hide treats in the house and played pretend with him as a "secret pirate brotherhood" behind his mother's back. In reality, it was alcohol his father was hiding from his mother, and he used him to retrieve it, there was also no "pirate brotherhood".
Ed also recalls that a broken tire, bursting in the middle of the road caused a car accident when his family and he were going on vacation. The car stopped on the ledge of a cliff, his father evacuated him from it, but the car slipped into the canyon with his mother and sister before he got time to do the same for them. In reality, John had voluntarily crashed the car and pushed it into the canyon to prevent Maddy from starting anew and taking the children from him.

To the Moon: The two protagonists work for an entire fake memory company. People on their deathbed hire this company to provide them with fake memories of them doing something that they had always wanted to do in life but were unable to do or had just never gotten around to doing, so that they can die without regrets. The process actually works akin to Time Travel, in that they cannot simply create a new memory and stick it in somewhere, they have to travel into the "past" and alter it so that future events play out differently in the client's memories.

Star Wars Legends:
The Player Character of Knights of the Old Republic seems to have a generic and unimportant background, as revealed in dialogue with Bastila Shan, giving no explanation for the interest the villains are taking in them. This lack of explanation turns out to be due to the relevant memories having been lost and replaced with fake ones: Everything in their memories until relatively recently is fake. They have been reprogrammed to think they have always been a loyal subject of the Republic, so as to motivate them to help the Republic to find the Star Forge — and hiding the fact that they were one of the villains.
In The Force Unleashed II, Darth Vader and a hallucination of Rahm Kota taunt the protagonist on how he's not Starkiller, redeemed Jedi and the founder of the Alliance To Restore The Republic, but a clone. It is left ambiguous as to whether he was the original Starkiller with false memories of being a clone, or a clone with false memories of being the original Starkiller. And depending on the ending, it might not matter.

Ao No Fuuin shows that Soko Kiryu, despite her insistence of just being normal, and memories of the place she had just moved away from, including a bakery shop she went to with her mother often, are fake as no-one can remember her since Soko looks very different from the real Soko Kiryu.

The Curse Workers: The first book of the trilogy involves this in a big way:
The protagonist discovers that his brother, a memory worker, has been tampering with his memories for years on order of the criminal elements his family is connected to so that they can use his rare transformation talents to assassinate their enemies, and he's been made to think he doesn't have any powers at all.
He then turns the tables on said brother and gets him on his side by replacing the extensive journals his brother keeps due to the backlash of his power on his own memories with new ones that make him think he has always been The Mole.

Doug: In the pilot episode of the Disney series, Doug is upset about all the changes happening lately in his life and waxes nostalgic about the way things used to be. He pictures himself enjoying magic mystery meat at school, even though a whole episode of the previous series was devoted to how much he hated it, and having a bubble gum-blowing contest with an inexplicably friendly Mr. Bone. Skeeter calls him out on how skewed those memories are.

This is the premise behind the film Other Life, which deals with the titular company, which has developed a means, through nanotechnology, to create manufactured memories. In practice, these act like miniature virtual worlds that the person experiencing them only has access to for a short amount of time. As these simulations take place mentally, Year Inside, Hour Outside is in full-effect, and things turn sinister when the government wants to use the technology to accelerate prison sentences, by having inmates experience potentially years of imprisonment in only a few minutes.

In Cyberpunk 2077, one questline reveals that the prospective mayor Jefferson Peralez's security team is a front for someone that's been tampering with the minds of him and his wife, doing everything from implanting false memories to altering their personalities. When V goes over his findings with Jefferson's wife she says she had her suspicions as he went into detail about a vacation they supposedly never went on, and is horrified by the concept that they potentially did and they made her forget. Despite V's best efforts there's no way to uncover the true culprits, but Johnny Silverhand theorizes it's a rogue AI manipulating them for its own ends.

Star Trek: Voyager:
In "Course: Oblivion", the entire crew discovers their memories are fake. They're actually not the Voyager crew at all, but Silver Blood duplicates who think they're the originals.
In "Memorial", the members of a recently returned away team start having memories of a horrific massacre, to the point of experiencing various forms of PTSD. Turns out the actual massacre had been committed centuries earlier, and a system had been created (the titular "Memorial") to project the shameful memories of committing this massacre into the minds of passers-by, in order to ensure as best they could that it would always remain a visceral memory rather than a dusty note in a history book, and thus hopefully never happen again.
In "Workforce", the crew is brainwashed to believe that they belong on the planet they are being forced to work on.

In Ginny Weasley: Double Life, hypnotic snake Milikan, seeking a friend, hypnotises 26-year-old Ginny to remember the two of them meeting and being friends when Ginny was seven years old until Milikan vanished when Ginny was nine. Despite this relatively significant tweak to Ginny's history, which includes a chain of events that led to Ginny regarding Milikan as her best friend and Mistress, Milikan leaves Ginny's basic personality and memories alone, so Ginny still loves Harry and her children.

Babylon 5 has the "Death of Personality", a 'merciful' alternative to capital punishment in which the convict's memories and personality are erased by a machine and replaced with something that will make him useful to society. A telepath performs scans before and after to confirm its success (and the "before" scans can be quite stressful, since a sociopath's mind isn't a nice place to visit). In the Season 3 episode "Passing Through Gethsemane", a good-natured monk discovers that he was actually a Serial Killer whose previous identity was erased in this way, which causes him a great deal of distress. He ends up allowing the families of his victims to lynch him to death (they tracked him down to the station and triggered his memories on purpose). Then the ringleader is subjected to the same punishment (and ends up joining the same order), since legally this was cold-blooded murder.

A rare version occurs in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, where Horace Slughorn does this to himself in order to erase the guilt of having given the young Voldemort information on horcruxes. Fortunately, he does a sloppy job of it, which allows Harry to procure the memory from him with some help from a luck potion.
A more traditional example was featured in the same book where it's revealed via Pensieve flashback that Voldemort framed his uncle Morfin for the murder of the Riddles by committing the murders with his wand and magically implanting the memories of the murder in Morfin's mind so that he believed he had killed them. When the authorities arrived, Morfin confessed to murder on the spot, proved it by giving details only the murderer would know and showed them his wand as proof. He was then sent to Azkaban and Dumbledore only managed to find the real memory of Morfin encountering Voldemort through a very powerful Legimency spell which he used on Morfin near the end of the latter's life. The same with the house elf Hokey, made to think she accidentally put a rare poison in her mistress Hepzibah Smith's tea.
And in Deathly Hallows, Hermione gives her parents fake memories to protect them from Death Eaters during the Second Wizarding War. After the war ended, Hermione found her parents in Australia and restored their memories.

Inception is a process of entering a person's dream and, instead of extracting info (as is fairly common in the story's setting), implanting false beliefs or ideas into a their mind. While it is usually regarded as impossible, the protagonist claims to have done it once before (though with disastrous consequences based on the idea he implanted). In the course of the film, the team he recruits comes up with a plan to do it again by making their target believe he's on a Vision Quest, but instead of finding his true feelings hidden in his subconsciousness, the revelation at the end will be something prepared by them. When the person wakes up, the memories of the dream will fade, but the belief that he resolved his internal conflict will remain and the fake revelation become part of his consciousness, leading him to the course of action desired by their employer. In this case, they note that it won't work if it's not something "organic" to the target or if the idea is too complex. It has to be simple and feel like his own or he'll subconsciously know it's not his own and reject it entirely.

In another episode, the team discovers a village on a toxic planet protected by a force field. Each villager also have a direct mental link to the city computer (like an always available Wikipedia to seek information). When suddenly villagers' memories start to contradict events the team recalls from previous days on the planet, they discover that the computer can't sustain the energy field due to a power shortage and is slowly shrinking it. Since the field cannot hold as many people each time it shrinks, the computer uses the mental link to send people outside the shield to die and modify the other villagers' memories to make them Ret-Gone so no one is mourning their deaths. Since the team aren't linked to the computer, they are not affected by the false memories and can discover the truth.

"The Mind's Eye" has Geordi leave for a two-week vacation and come back full of stories, only to find out that the Romulans abducted him just after he left, implanted fake memories of the vacation he was supposed to be taking and hypnotized him in an attempt to turn him into a Manchurian Agent. The episode ends with him trying to reconstruct his memories with Troi's help.
"Conundrum" featured an alien who erased the memories of the crew, altered the Enterprise's records to convince them the Federation was at war with the enemies of his people, and infiltrated them as a never-before-seen crewmember. He planned to use the Enterprise's superior weaponry to win the war for his side.
