Hey everyone, I'm new to this site but have recently become fascinated with lucid dreaming.
I've always been a vivid dreamer, and had many lucid dreams without knowing what they were or that they were out of the ordinary at all. I'm hoping to hone my techniques and truly learn to appreciate it from now on.

What I wanted to ask though, is do many people have - well I guess I would describe it as a separate dream memory? I have deja vu a lot within dreams, as well as a new but intertwined set of memories within my dreams. I will visit locations in dreams I have been to in other dreams, or feel I have been to before, and I will recall what I did in these places. (often these are locations that don't exist in waking life or that I've never been too). Likewise I will meet dream people with whom I already have well established relationships, memories of things we have done together (which I don't recall the dream the events happened in) and memories of shared moments I have when I've past dreamed of them.

Its like I am me, but more than me within my dream life. Everything in my waking life is carried over, then merged with another me, who has experienced a whole other life...but not too unlike mine.

I don't know if any of this makes sense. I'd just like to hear about similar experiences.
