Sageous - I have been thinking about the forgotten fundamental - Memory - and it has led me to think a little deeply about what memory actually is ...If we wish to remember who we are in our dreams what we feel we are in our WL will influence that memory a lot ...which leads me to ponder what it is that actually makes up our memories - our memories thus going towards making up who we actually think we are!
For example how we choose to think when we encounter people,activities and all sorts of things in our daily life all help in forming each and every memory of who and what we are, and not to mention all the other aspects of the whole situation that will help in the creating of a memory in a given moment...Can we be really present in the forming of our memories if we are Clear or Self Aware enough of our wishes and Intentions in any moment and is it possibly its these memories that we would be most likely to draw on as examples in a LD as - My memories?

Reading this next quote of you speaking in this thread helped me to bring it back into perspective ;

"Not so much hard facts and context, Steph, as remembering the simple fact of your current waking-life condition (being asleep in bed), with that action of remembering being far more important than the thing you are remembering. The important part about remembering your sleeping body is that you are not retrieving a specific memory (we really don't store a memory of being asleep in bed), but nudging your memory with a reminder of waking-life reality. This reality will both help pull your memory into your dreaming self and act as a reminder that the body you are currently occupying is not real."

So ...quickly bringing together Memory, Self awareness and Intention - linking these 3 together feels very profound as if they could in fact be one big thing we just don't know the name of ... So " don't intellectualise " the idea of Memory i saw you said in the thread to someone Sageous - which I can see is what my pondering is leading me see. How can I think about it then - I ask my self . This leads me back to the RRC you bring to the Wild Tutorial - its a Present Moment thing that creates the power behind the Memory, Self Awareness and Intention that you are pointing to ...maybe thats what makes up the Non Dual way you have described your experience of the RRC - Maybe?

As you say dreaming is a " Here and Now" event and its possibly precisely this that Memory serves to remind us?
