The setting at the point was in my backyard. Now obviously there is NOT a teleporter in my backyard, nor has there ever been in any dream that I recall. I stayed lucid, but I completely accepted that there was, and had always been a teleportation device there. My question is, anyone else ever have an experience like this?

Dream Memory is great. I think, now that you describe your own situation, that Dream Memory is more than just Dream Memory. What happens when we begin to 'remember' anything in a dream, we are actually running through our minds finding every association. Thinking and Problem Solving is done by Memory.

In your case the Problem was not having a Teleportation Machine. So you 'remembered' one.

This could be very useful to know, that we are wasting our time to "think" in a dream when we should do what does work, even if it works strangely, and that is to "remember".

The Ancients used to say the same thing... that the idea was not to 'think' but to 'remember'. I always thought it was so much clique Ancient Bullshit. But they may have been talking about dreams, and Dream Logic.
