A Disquieting Thought for my Later Days...
After going through a phase of storing my dreams in "memory temples" (imaginary worlds used to store memories) and writing only a few words on pieces of paper that I threw away after a week, writing down only my interesting dreams, I have decided to get back into daily complete journaling.
:fame:
A weird thought came to me... If I write down my dreams from this day on... What will happen in my 90s (or later, whatever happens with human health in that far distance), and if I fall victim to some type of dementia, losing memories of my past... I will still have a complete collection of every dream I have ever remembered, but not of the events of my waking life. As I sit in a retirement home in 2085, reading my dream journals from the young '20s, what will be my thoughts on my life?
What would be the effects of having more dream memories than waking memories?
[Edit] Hmm... I might have exaggerated with the title. They're not disquieting thoughts, simply curious. :)
