When you have an insight/vision etc. what makes you accept it as truth?

So why should i believe the thing that i only experienced once over the thing that i experienced hundreds of times.

You can't argue like that because if everything is indeed Imagination, then that means that you are just imagining having experienced it hundreds of times. And actually you have experienced it 0 times. Consistency is an illusion.

How can you trust memories? 

The proper mental state from where to start investigation should be of not trusting anything, no assumptions and not knowing. And in that state a memory of something that happened once has the exact same validity as a memory of something that consistently happened 1000 times.
