Thread: Remembering Old Dreams

How old are these dreams a few days,a month,a year?I know a great deal of people say that something in their wake life triggered a memory they had in a recent dream...You ever try to put a connection asto what triggered these old dream memorys? I personally don,t recall any dreams passed a few days old.

happened to me a couple times. something usually triggers it for me. like if i meet a friend that was in the dream.

I remember dreams from all the time. from years ago, months ago, days ago. all day...I remember different dreams.

say you were sleeping 6 months ago..you woke up having no recollection of any dreams during the night at all...can you get recollection of that night today?.that,s what i was wondering

not sure. but I'm pretty sure all the dreams I've remembered I thought a little about when I woke up...but I really dont know.

Yeah, that's kinda what's been happening to me. I've been remembering stuff completly randomly from months ago that I didn't remember at the time, it's such a weird sensation . Ah well, it's all dream recall and if that jacks up my lucid dreams, I aint complainin

Happens to me all the time...

The last occurrence was about 2 weeks ago. I woke up at 7AM (first awakening) and didn't remember anything...I was upset, of course. But when I went into the bathroom I looked at my hair and started twirling my bangs, brushing them aside/behind my ears, and just generally fiddling with it..nothing out of the ordinary. Suddenly, it hit me - I remembered a dream from the night before. The whole motif of that dream was hair significance. It was strange, but I remembered someone having a huge afro...

They're usually no more than 2 days old. Being the most recent occurrence, it's easier to remember what evoked what...the others are a little cloudy by now, but it does happen alot.

I remember dreams from decades ago when I was a child. I remember some of the images like it happened yesterday. When I was in elementery school, I would fall down a big hole in the ground all the way to the center of the earth. There I met the booger people. The were shaped like people, but were made out of boogers. They lived in the caves in the center of the earth. I also remember from elementery days the family driving in a car that was made from a set of playground monkey bars, going to see my aunt who in the dream was a witch and lived in a house that looked like the Munster's house. Sometimes these memories come back out of the clear blue. It's kinda fun recalling these dreams.

I remember old dreams all the time, they sort of float to the surface and if it's something interesting, I write it down. I dont know when i saw this dreams, but i know i saw them.

Lately I've been recalling a lot of dreams, and it somewhat bothers me - how come i had so many dreams i dont remember, and if i remember them now, where they were stored?...

Happens to me alot. I'll be working on some idea in my head when BOOM! This vivid memory of these year old dreams hits me. It's a very weird feeling.

Nope doesn't happen to me.
What ever I forget stays forgotten...
But what I remember, I don't forget.
Savvy?

Saaaaaavy.

This happens to me all the time too. Sometimes it can be something really subtle like a certain smell, sound, or seeing an image (or sequence of images) that triggers a memory of a past dream.
