Dreams

[ludwig]

Can anyone relate to this? - it happens to me quite regularly. At some random moment a fragment of a dream you had will pop into your mind. However, it won't be a dream you had last night. For some reason that you can't explain, you just *know* it will be a dream you had quite a while ago - weeks, months, perhaps even years - and you are now just remembering it for the first time.

it does happen to me but won't be remembering for the first time as my dream always seem quite clear to me when I waken, but then get very vague. Then like you say bits will pop into my head at ramdom moments and I wish I could remember the rest.

Yes happens now and then.

Something just triggers a snatch of memory of a scene and then you have to try to remember whether it was from real-life, a dream, film, tv, a video game or even what you were picturing when listening to the radio.

Yes, but it's not like a deja vu experience where you think 'blimey this is familiar'.

You know straight away that it's a dream you're remembering because it will be the scene when you were on board the Hindenberg with Woody Allen arguing about whose turn it is to make the jelly or some nonsense.

Please dont ask Salla about her dream involving a cockatoo, it still brings a tear to my eye.

This happens to me at the oddest times, and quite often. I could be in the middle of shopping, texting, walking, reading, typing, exercising, "just being", or ... you get the pic; but yes, this happens to me, too. It's a FLASH in my mind - just a split-second shot of what I KNOW was a dream from a while ago, possibly months or even years ago! I have no idea what causes this, but I've determined that it must be that one of our senses activates in a very precise way that triggers these random dream-shots. I also considered that it could be paranormal...still could be a scientific explanation, but scientists just haven't learned enough to call it science yet.

Thanks for your answers. Looks like it's not just me.
