Basically, I would try to remember where my body was located (easy enough? not always) and draw a total blank. To deal with this I would scan my memory for the most chronlogically advanced memory available to me. On a few occassions the entire later portion of my life was not scanable. I mean my house and my wife of 8 years and all things related like a job I have had that long, did not seem to exist. I would find the newest memory and draw the conclusion that it was winter of 2004 and I was in graduate school.

I just thought I would throw this out there. I have plenty of training, but occassionally this happens, and at the time it seems real.
I'm also trying to train myself to really examine memories for accuracy, because I know sometimes they're false in dreams. Not sure how well that's going to come out in a dream, but it's something else to throw out for consideration.
