A member asked:

I have a strong episodic memory.nowadays i keep getting continuos dreams of a past event and the details keep getting more exact. why is it so?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Interest in dreams: One's interest in dreams and openness to their meaning tends to increase the memory of dream details. There's a relationship among motivation, creativity, and goal-seeking that plays out in dreams. You might enjoy writing down the details of the dream or keeping a dream journal. Some believe that dreams can assist in decision making, determination, and clarity of priorities.
