Thread: False Memories In Lucids

Just wondering if anyone else has had this. I had a dream that I was taking part in an interview, but it wasn't the first time I'd been there, but it was the first time I've remembered dreaming about this place. I knew the place, I knew the staff (well enough to ask favours) but when I woke up, I knew I didn't know those people, or that place. I'm guessing these false memories came from dreams I've forgotten or just didn't remember in the first place, but has anyone else had anything like this?

Yes, this kind of stuff happens a lot to me. I don't think it was from a past dream, I think your subconcious puts false memories into your concious mind.

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.
