This is a very interesting theory, and I should watch the video before I comment but I don't have the time now.

It is hard for me to believe that we create more and more stability in our dream world as we visit it, because the opposite has happened to me. When I was a kid, I had a lot of those experiences, almost every night, where I would go to places that were mine and I would recognize them. But now it never happens anymore. I am always in new places, and I do miss my childhood dreams where I had a relatively stable world. For example, when I was a kid, I had the whole village where I lived mapped out but only my own house was accurate, the rest was an invention of mine, but I always liked to explore beyond my house and recognize the other times I had went there (in dreams). There was a path in the forest that was always the same. I had a "house" that was my own. You had to cross a river infested with beavers to get there. My second house had a third floor with a ghost in it. And the basement also had ghosts. These extra places in my house didn't exist in waking life. The garden outside my house was always the same in my dreams, but not the same as in real life. There was a very awesome giant snow slide park that I liked going to in my dreams. And the list goes on. I have lost all of these stable places with age.

So, it doesn't seem intuitive to me that dream-to-dream memory stabilizes our personal dreamscape. But maybe I am misinterpreting something.
