I wonder if this effect is significantly less in people with aphantasia? Anecdotally speaking, it seems to me that people with aphantasia are far less impacted in this way, and conversely that people with strong mental imagery may be more impacted.
When my girlfriend dreams I cheated, she treats me terribly all day, even though she forgets the dream 15 minutes after waking. Is this similar to deepfakes? An emotional imprint that causes memory drift?

yeah there is some evidence that suggests those with aphantasia should suffer less from false memories and eyewitness memory errors..

sounds like the emotion stays and its associated with you, even though she might be forgetting where it came from...
This influences emotional framing and therefore biases
