Okay Lemmy, I wanna know if this is just a me thing or if anyone else has this experience.
Like the meme I don't generally remember my dreams for long after being awake. But! As I'm drifting off to sleep I start remembering things that feel like my previous dreams. Sometimes they seem to be dreams I had years ago.
Anyone else? Do you suppose I'm actually remembering recent or old dreams, or is this some kind of deja vu thing? Is there some separate memory space where all my dream memories are kept?
From time to time I feel like my dreams are a continuation of other dreams I've had in the past.
I can recall 2 or 3 different scenarios that somehow I keep dreaming about and it always feels like either a repeat or a continuation of the last time I dreamt about this scenario
The same characters show up and in the same environment etc
It's quite cool. I always wake up and feel like "woah this would be an amazing movie" except the one where I'm lost in an underground circus and the magicians and lions are trying to kill me. I sometimes relive the story of dreams I had years ago. I only wish I could remember more about them.
I don't know if there's a memory space for dreams but at least it seems like it's possible for the brain to fall into a similar state while sleeping and you feel like it was the same dream as before
