So, how different are these from true memories? Once the event is over and only the memory remains, what difference does it make? I will likely enjoy rereading these adventures as much as any others. They were certainly "experienced" as much as the others. The cheap souveniers are all thats missing, and the shared experiences. If we crack the shared dreaming nut, then the souveniers are all thats lacking. How much greater is reality anyway? Any thoughts on this?
