Thread: Remembering Stuff From Earlier Dreams Inside Dreams?

I had a few experineces like this, but with non-lucid dreams...
Were yours lucid?
How much time had gone between the two dreams (the recollected and the actual dream)?
How do you know it was a memory form another dream and not just the feeling of remembering something from another dream?

i'v had something like that, I dreamed about some place and then had another dream about the same place and this time I was tellin my bro about my previous dream, I was walkin him through what I was doing in the dream that I just had. it was just so odd.

but its all good

Once you record enough dreams in your DJ, you will be able to tell the difference between remembering past dreams while dreaming, and spontaneous memory generation where you seem to suddenly know stuff about the current dream scenario.

There is a difference between the two, I just don't know how to describe it right now. Once you remember a few dreams of both types, you shold be able to tell the difference with more certainty.

Sometime's, I seem to have a full memory of stuff in a dream.
But when I wake up, I have no real memory, of all the things
that I remember while I was dreaming.

So I wonder where all these dream memories came from!
Past dream's maybe? I dont know.

In dreams, there are three types of memories, at least in my case:

1.) Real memories - Those are memories from reality, things you remember from your waking life.

2.) False memories - These are memories your dreams create for some reason, and they are only accessible in the dream state. I don't know how this works, but it is really interesting. In a dream, you might feel you know some person, or a place might seem really familiar, but when you wake up you have no idea why you felt that way.

3.) Memories of past dreams - This speaks for itself. I remember many past dreams during my dreams as well. Sometimes a dream can trigger a memory of another dream I had a long time ago. This goes for lucid as well as non-lucid dreams.

Hope this helps.

those false memories may just be memories of older dreams you didn't remember remembering? ooooooooooh?

No, I don't think they are the same. In a dream I might walk into my room and see pictures on the wall that in reality aren't there, yet I am completely familiar with it. I don't find it unusual, until I wake up.

That's a false memory. Remembering older dreams while being inside a dream is something else.

I frequently remember old dreams while dreaming actually. I sometimes remember these memories after waking as well. The most extreme example of this that I have was dreaming a "sequel" to a dream I'd had ~2 years earlier.
