Dream memory

[Heather B.]

Several years ago, I worked as a salesclerk at a department store.  Last night, I had a very lucid dream in which I had started working that job again.  I was sort of thrown back into it, with no training or guidance.  It was very stressful!  

But during the course of the dream, I began to remember and re-learn things... like how to ring transactions at the register, remove or deactivate security tags, direct customers to different areas of the store, etc.  I even remembered my employee ID that I used to log my transactions, and that I haven't used or thought of in over 3 years!

I was able to write down this dream--and the ID #--in my dream journal.  Hehe, I'm getting good at this!  :mrgreen:  And guess what--I was able to confirm that the ID # I remembered in the dream really was my ID # !!!  I was able to dig up an old paystub that had my # on it, and they matched!      

I am just so amazed that I remembered this random tidbit from so long ago!  Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes I have.  It's kinda cool isn't it?  

That is also the neat thing about your brain.  Your brain records ever second of your life from every sense in your body.  All that information is there, always. The easiest ways to access that information is in a dream or hypnotic state.  Some times just running across some random bit of input during the day can set the stage a memory based dream later that night.

Yeah, your memory is that big that, just like cainam_nazier said, you can remember anything you ever saw, touched, smell, heard...every sensetion you had.
Isn't that cool and spooky
Just focus in your dreams, you'll discover a lots of other things.
