imo i think rey always knew that her parents had sold her like that. i think she's been repressing the memory for such a long time it just...faded, or became a little twisted. easier to live day to day believing there was something to live for. :/ i DO wonder if that skews the vision she had in maz's castle, though, since we clearly see lil babby rey looking up at the sky after a ship that's taking off.
Yeah, that’s the thing that confused me; the vision. Hmmmm. Maybe that really was how she protected herself as a child, remembering them leaving in a different way. Oh my God.
