The thread on repeating dreams reminded me of a thought i come across often.
In a dream do you have implanted or fake memory? Memory of something that never happened?
Do you wake up and think "That was a sequel to a dream i had long ago" meerly to ponder it and come to the conclusion that you had had the original dream that vary night and had percieved it as past?
Are there any people on this forum familiar with this idea?
Umm that's a possibility and we can only theorize. But I guess no one would ever know the truth. It's kind of like the Matrix. :roll:
I'm fairly sure this has happpened to me. So many of my dreams interconnect that one of them must have been this way.
I just posted about that a few days ago. You did a way better job at explaining it than I did though. When I posted I wasn't sure if it was a past dream or not. After I thought for awhile though I did come to the conclusion, and I am pretty sure now, that I did dream about it the same night.
Well, I must say that a lot of my dreams are pretty close and interconnected. But I'm sure I had them all.
Sometime's i think we CONVINCE ourselves that we had that 'unreal memory' and it becomes a reality in the past.
Like Deja Vu; there are so many explenations, but i think that it is possible that we have been in a familiar situation, or in a dream like it, and our subcounscience makes up the rest...or fills in the holes, if you will.
Well if you figure all dreams are made up in your head anyway, then if your mind fills in the holes and you remeber it wouldn't it be a real as any dream?
I've heard of people with such a superb memory they don't need to imagine anything to fill any holes, their memories don't have any...
Yeah, sometimes it feels like I have two separate lives: my waking identity and my dream identity. When in a lucid dream, I can, of course, remember the date and what I did that day, etc., but I'm also much more likely to remember dreams that I've had in the past weeks....dreams that I wouldn't be able to remember while I'm awake. It's like having two separate bodies with two separate memory banks.
