Sometimes in dreams, I revisit places that feel so familiar, but upon waking, there is no real memory of me ever visiting that place before. However, in the dream, I had full memories of that place and knew it like the palm of my hand. I’m searching for answers. I’ve come to the conclusion that the answer is one of the following:
1. The location in my dream was previously visited by my dream self in a dream before. It could’ve been 10 years ago. Only my dream self can know it since that’s a landscape he knows more than me.
Or
2. Your brain can create false memories within the time warp that is a dream. When you’re dreaming, the dream can seem to take place within several days, months, or years, but in real life it’s only been probably 5 minutes. So your brain gives you fake memories of these places so that 2 minutes later (1 year later within the dream) you can remember that memory and feel attached and nostalgic.
Either way, the mind is a beautiful thing.
