  • i have this sometimes, either the memories are vivid a bit too long (and vaguely plausible, like your parents dying) and i have to just sit there for a bit waiting for my brain to sort out if it’s real or a dream, or things don’t quite exit the dream state right and everything just feels wrong somehow, which is fucking miserable and means i have to just try to fall back asleep so the brain can reset things and wake up properly.


  • the brain is a hodgepodge of neurons evolved over a stupendous amount of time to deal with so many different things throughout the timeline of our ancestors, i think it’s perfectly reasonable to just assume memories of dreams are left around in some neurons and when the same processes start before falling asleep the remaining parts of the memories just happen to get accessed again.
