Suddenly remembering dreams from a year ago?

[Noobody]

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....

I could almost swear, that it's from before, but it could also just be from last night. Did anyone else experience this? Sounds a little like déjà vu. Déjà vu ("already seen") also called paramnesia and is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has repeated itself). The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness", "strangeness", or "weirdness". 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. PS.. still loving your avatar!

Sounds a little like déjà vu. I dident mean it like just the area, but as a whole dream being unlocked from my memory. In this case, i drove by a place near my old school, and suddenly unlocked this whole dream story, where i had flewn, tuned invisiable, ridden a mechanical bull, while beating a troll in a burger eating contest. just by driving through.. and i'm pretty sure it's a dream from loong ago, but just remembered now.... well.. it's difficult to explain.

[Noobody]

btw. yea... i love my avatar too XD.

Well you left out all the lucid dream "stuff" that you did in your original posting! 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.

[Noobody]

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.

i don't really think i was lucid though. not fully anyway. 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!

[Noobody]

Yea... i know. i get the wierdest dreams, without even realizing. i always feel so stupid afterwards. might be becouse of my A.D.D. XD

[ShadowXIV]

yeah ive actually started having flashbacks from dreams that i had a long time ago which happens alot when im recording my dreams down in my DJ

[Noobody]

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

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! Listen to the man in future eh? I get that sometimes with my recall too, all of a sudden I remember dreams that I have had ages ago. I went through a patch when I remembered loads of childhood lucids too, pretty weird.

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).

What do you do with your flashbacks? do you write them down? or just leave them? I guess you could treat it like any other dream.. if you want to ensure that you remember it.. write it down.

Wow, since I've been keeping a dream journal (over a month) I've been remembering a handful of past dreams, it's pretty cool.
