Much of what we dream is based on waking life experiences being consolidated into long-term memory during sleep known as an episodic, semantic, spatial and sensory replay. People who watch horror movies may experience nightmares, and people who play video games may find elements of their game replaying in their dreams. As we fall asleep memory consolidation starts and often people have REM Replay as they start to fall asleep where visual artifacts of late-night gaming, or movie watching may start to visually appear with the onset of sleep.
