That's me once again.

I read many articles about dreaming and I started thinking what actually happens during my dream. Well, my body is usually regenerating.....I came to one observation concerning memory.

If I sleep every day normally about 6 hours a day. I don't remember exactly what happened the day before. But if I don't sleep enough one day. I remember exactly what happened the day before. When I finally got my 6 or more sleep I kind of write all what happened the days before into my memory and I wake up and I don't remember clearly what happened.

this is were the recalling comes. I usually recall my dreams in the morning and I can tell you what I dreamed about that day (if you ask me the same day). The day after I usually don't recall it, but weeks, months later the dream comes to my memory.

Anyone has this?
Also wanted to ask about this. When I wake up after lucid dreaming I'm pretty disoriented and it can take me half an hour to fully awake to the real world. When someone speaks to me in that period I'm unable to give a normal response. Is that normal? (I feel confused about what is real and what not)
