Reliving through memories can be fun, and really relieve stress but beware it can screw with your head sometimes.
Every now and then I have a dream about a real life event and then throughout the day I actually have to spend a few minutes thinking if that actually happened. I can imagine that it might be worse if you actually purposefully try recreate the memory.
So maybe you should right down the real version first just to keep it fresh in your mind and it will make it easier to remember in the dream.
