After i started writing a D.J. i began to remember dreams from a long ago, just today i suddenly remembered a dream from what i feel was from long ago. The memory was triggered when i drove through the place i were in, in my dream. This have happened alot lately. Is this really a dream from long ago? I could almost swear, that it's from before, but it could also just be from last night. Did anyone else experience this?
Yes, not too long ago I was writing in my dream journal and all of a sudden a similar dream came back to me. It was from back before I joined DV. Odd how the mind retains things.
Yeah me too. I don't have an example tho....
Sounds a little like déjà vu.Quote:

The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past.

btw. yea... i love my avatar too XD.
Well you left out all the lucid dream "stuff" that you did in your original posting! :P
I would say it's very possible to have an event or place trigger the memory of a previous lucid dream that you had forgotten.
thx for the reply. sry about leaving out the stuff.. i don't really think i was lucid though. not fully anyway. but still.. i think it's cool, being able to savour just a little of my many missed / forgotten dreams.
LOL!! I just assumed that if you "had flewn, tuned invisiable, ridden a mechanical bull, while beating a troll in a burger eating contest" you must have been lucid.. my bad! :DQuote:

What do you do with your flashbacks? do you write them down? or just leave them?

For the last few days I've been spontaneously remembering dreams from years ago, along with long-forgotten scenes from childhood. They just seem to pop into my head out of nowhere. I attributed it to the variety of supplements I'm now taking (possibly the ginkgo biloba).
I guess you could treat it like any other dream.. if you want to ensure that you remember it.. write it down.Quote:
