answer:I can’t speak to the science of this, but I suffer from having very vivid dreams, often of mundane activities, that I believe are actual events. As a child, I had many exquisitely detailed dreams that created beliefs of events. It was only in adulthood that I began to question the foundation of those beliefs and came to realize they were merely dreams. I still hold a fertile imagination and an active dreaming state as blessings, but it can be exhausting to try to distinguish reality from dreams sometimes. To more directly answer your question, I find no fundamental difference between the recollection of real or dreamed events. Both spark the same range of emotions and physical responses for me.
