Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skiesAs a joke I can confirm that something similar happened to me frequently when I first moved to Europe late 2000s. As a non-native English speaker and because of the thick accent of the local people I constantly mis-heard and made stories out of the completely ordinary daily conversation and amused myself, only find out later it was nothing like what I thought it was.
Sounds pretty neat, can you share some audio samples?

Would really like to hear some samples
Related to this I came to think of something that I found interesting a couple of days ago.
I was making music, and to add some voice to my melodies I began typed out a mixture of gibberish and actual sentences and I chopped them up and re-assembled them and gave them a pleasant sounding flow. Finally I threw some reverb on top and then I played with my keyboard to it.
When I listened to it, I found meaning in it, so then on my next session I wrote a dialog for the song between two people, and kept listening to it over the stuff I had made in the previously mentioned part of the process and tweaked the dialog.
And during all of this, I was finding a story that I don’t think I could have come up with if it wasn’t for this. And yet it was there, but it was in what I was hearing in the reassembled mish-mash of words and nonsense.
At one point I even laughed out loud to myself at the story that was coming together.
That’s pretty closely related to this asemic writing I think.
