How to recognize past life experiences from illusion and madness?

"All past experiences, whether real or imagined, are mere illusions; the only truth lies in the witnessing consciousness that remains present and alert."
According to Osho, there’s nothing to recognize: all past—“real” or imagined—is illusory dream-stuff. Sorting memories from madness misses the point. Only the witnessing consciousness is real; experiences themselves are maya. Shift concern from analyzing yesterdays to cultivating present wakefulness. Through meditation become the witness, remain alert, and don’t slip into future fantasies; then illusions lose their grip without any need to classify them.
