I had the oddest dream last night, in which I was doing something (it's not important to the tale) that reminded me of something I had previously done and could do again in this new situation.
The thing is, the 'something I had previously done' had occurred in a dream two years previously.
This is not the first time this has happened -- I have a sort of dream narrative "parallel life" emerging in unpredictable episodes.
Sometimes I'll dream that I'm revisiting the scene of an old dream, and observing how things have changed there since the first time I dreamt about the place.
Does anyone recognise what I'm describing, or have you experienced similar?
(Anthony Burgess's first wife claimed to be able to pick up last night's dream where she had left off on wakening, so would dream an entire 'adventure' in a coherent narrative over the course of a week or so, which sounds like an extreme example of the sort of thing I'm describing.
Does this ring any bells with anyone? Is there a name for it?
