Stuff to do with memory and my mind 'filling-in-the-gaps', really. For example, I experienced this one a bit over a week ago.
I was walking around a lake, through the pine trees on its edge. I remember taking in all the details, such as the hills on the other side, the bicycle path, et cetera.
The next day, I was talking to my best friend about school camp in ninth grade, and he reminded me of the lake place we stayed at in Wangaratta. I couldn't recall it; not one detail of it at all, so he described it to me (it was important that I remembered because he was telling me about where some kid in our group had broken his leg)... I still didn't know where he was talking about, but I recognised the place from where I had been in my dream. After we watched a movie we went back to his place and he said, 'hey, I'll show you a photo of the place I was talking about before'; which he did, and it was the exact same fucking place as the one I had visited in my dream.
I had been there in real life on ninth grade camp, but I hadn't remembered anything about that camp or the places we had stayed at.... let alone had I remembered that particular lakeside.
So basically, something which I had totally forgotten about had remained deep in my brain and surfaced during a dream. I wonder how much other 'forgotten knowledge' is secretly stuck inside my brain.... It's frustrating, because now I know that it's all in there, I just can't access it! :p
