Accessing Memories

It is said that our memories are stored in our unconscious and subconscious parts of the brain. I wonder if anyone has developed the ability to to "replay" memories through a lucid dream. I've noticed that often in LD's my mind can re-create elements from the past, but I wonder if the actual sights, sounds, etc. of a memory could be resurrected from "storage" and replayed. It would seem that you would have direct access to your subconscious memory storage in a LD, so you could review past events (perhaps otherwise forgotten), but I've never come close to it and wonder if anyone has.

I have read about one guy that had done this, but im not sure if it was true,

he said that he went back to an event in the past and could understand and hear every conversation that was going on in a hallway (sounds fake but nice to me ;))

For the most part that’s where your dreams come from. In the day during waking hours your mind is composed of a model that is formed from schemas, if I spelled that correctly. All your senses are gathered on these schemas and a model is constructed that represents you perception. When asleep it is these same schema that react to each other and of course they would not appear if it weren’t for you memory. But that is why some dreams are so realistic, because it is the same schema that is forming a model of perception. Memory is an important part of the way your mind works.

This is pretty much what I'm getting at. Retrieving forgotten memories through interaction with your subconscious while LDing. I am wondering if you can review actual events first-hand, but Barbizzle's experiences are almost just as interesting.

Yeah, maybe... we'd have to try it though... I wonder if you could also remember other dreams... I mean if you forget dreams... if this is possible... could it be possible to remember them in an LD too? of course it'd have to be a dream you remember slightly otherwise you'd just be gathering random info... unless your mind can remember the date of a dream... which I highly doubt... but who knows...
