Dream a city even if you've never seen it

Once I dreamed Trenčín. "Where is Trenčín? And Why this city?" So, Trenčín is in Slovakia, in the western part of the country. Don't tell me why I dreamed this city because I don't know. I know only that when I woke up I searched its photos on internet and it was exactly the same as the one I've dreamed. Honestly, I've never seen that city nor a photo before. In the dream I knew only that that was Trenčín...

Pretty cool. I've dreamt that I've been on vacation in Ireland and London and some of the pics line up. I also have a persistent dreamworld that has 3 major components to it, one of which is a city. I know I've never been there and it doesn't exist but I know every part of it including the transit system. Like you said who knows why, I just enjoy the ride personally.

Your subconscious memories are infinitely greater than your conscious memories. If you saw any images of Trenčín even in passing, like a quick glance at a billboard, or even a single second while flipping through a book, even if you weren't paying attention your subconsciousness can store that. You might think you've never seen it because your conscious mind doesn't even realize it.

Accessing your subconsciousness is one of the amazing wonders of dreaming

Interesting, really wonder what dreams can do for artists. Haha...getting a bit off-topic.

But yeah, good stuff.

Wow! That's spectacular! I've had somewhat similar dreams before where I know things that I don't... know. For example, dreaming my dad was going to walk in and toss a pair of pants at me just before he did so when I woke up. Dreams are interesting things...

^THIS. It's all about your subconscious. I swear there are plenty of things (And even people with memorable voices) in dreams that I have seen, but I can't recall ever seeing them in real life. Your subconscious mind can throw nearly anything at you, even if you think you've never seen a specific thing/being once.
