It’s weird how I’ll see a dream and really ponder over it right after waking only for it to be completely out of my memory shortly after.

We forget much of it but its still in our head somewhere. Theres been so many times a dream reminds me about another dream and act as a sequel of sorts. Days to years back. How much storage do we really have up here?

Could be that dreams arent stored at all, that if dreams are just random neurons following random-ish paths then they occasionally they hit the same pathway again and replay stuff, maybe?

Yes if I make an effort to remember a dream or if it was very eventful, I see myself having a sequel in some way later on. Sometimes there’s been cases where I had the dream continue once I feel back asleep. Had a recurring figure in my dream once that was pretty creepy.
