I very frequently will be having a dream and need to recall something (for example, my own phone number) and I can almost never remember. I will consciously realize I am dreaming and that I know the piece of information or skill involved, but will be completely unable to recall what I need. I always think to myself "I know this and I know that I am dreaming, why is this so difficult/impossible to recall?!"
this happens to me. memory is such a weird & powerful thing. memory is practically all that makes up one's "now"...maybe it is all that the now is composed of, now that i think about it deeper
does anyone ever have dream memories hit them in the middle of the day rather than right after waking? sometimes, out of nowhere, i'll recall a dream from the night before way after i've woken up. i think this is such a strange occurrence
not too long ago, in a dream, i was in a position where it was urgent that i recall a 6 digit # in order to eat. at the high school i went to we actually had a 6 digit # we had to put in a comp to get lunch & so in the dream that was the # i needed to recall. idk if i would have been able to recall it in waking life (i seriously doubt it) but i managed to do it in my dream. i was able to remember the dream very well so now i know that # once again - a decade later...307559...& i'm certain this is the right #
