Thread: False Memories In Lucids

It will be necropost but whatever.

If you will start to memorize what places you visit in regular dreams, you will find that a lot of them you are visiting regular, that's why you remembered about it.

Happens to me alot.

In fact I was planning to post something like this today.

Not much of "false" considering I always had good recall, so just the normal "Oh I has been in this dream/scenario before"

I have these in regular dreams too. I enjoy them.

I've always wondered this.
In LDs I get the sense that I've had the exact dream before.
I always wonder if I'm making it up or not....

I think, though,
It could be a mix of both.

perhaps since dreams also seems to be made up of a lot of memories,
It could be that you've been in a similar place in the real world before,
& that triggered the feeling of familiarity...

Or maybe not )=
Or perhaps, you were in the dream a long time ago and just forgot it.
I've done that before. Then like a week later, remember when I had the similar dream.

Yes, seems to happen to me a lot, usually a DC will remind me of something I was supposed to do and I will remember them telling me about it a day before. This happens more often than not. (I am very forgetful in real life which is probably why it's a common theme in my dreams)

Ya I had something like this not to long ago, where I had to type in a number code on a door to go through it, I rememberd the code in my dream but when I woke up I had no such memory of ever remembering such a thing in the past.
