Memory in Dreams


    'Anyone ever notice the phenomena of 
memory in dreams?  It is just like having 
a memory here, thinking about something that 
has happened, with the same feeling of 
certainty to it.  Yet, dreams are usually 
just supposed to be personal made-up 
fantasies, and what you would remember 
about the dream-bardo scene is just a 
fantasy.  So what would this say about 
the certainty of memory?, or the relative 
reality of a dream world vs. the relative 
reality of this physical-world experience?  
It makes me think of the movie "Blade Runner" 
in which the androids were given phoney 
memories of their past, or the movie 
"Dark City," in which people were given 
different memory-pasts every night chemically, 
in some alien's experiments.
