yesterday, in any case.

WE DO NOT REMEMBER YESTERDAY
Generally, we do not remember yesterday. We don’t really go back to yesterday, in any case. The past is imprinted in us in this present moment, and we only think we are seeing yesterday. You might have a memory of your dead father, for instance. That doesn’t mean you see him there, but your memory of him is present. In the same way, there is generally no such thing as going back to the past.
