Freaky dream regression!

So I woke up this morning and distinctly remember a dream where I was by this small lake and there were these little remote control boats. So I got in line with the other kids (i'm 34 now, but I was a child in the dream) and put my money into the slot and off I went piloting my little boat about using these 2 little joysticks, up and down and left and right respectively.

Woke up and had this strange feeling about the dream. Anyway, day goes by and late this morning my mum phones me and just out of conversation I mentioned this dream and described these little boats to her and the little controls used. Turns out she used to take me to this lake where these boats were when I was about 2 maybe 3 and I used to watch the kids playing.

Now I can't actually remember any of this, but when I described the scene to my mum she said that's exactly how it used to be!

Freaky!! - this has never happened to me before. Anyone else with wierd dream experiences?

Heh thats quite mad!

I sometimes have dreams that I continue where I left off from when I was dreaming last.

Something must have triggered that memory but it was buried so deep that it only surfaced in a dream. One theory on why we dream is that it is the brain's way of clearing out the junk or reinforcing things you need to know.

I don't remeber my dreams that often but when I do they are very vivid with bright colours, sounds and smells. They are also absolutely mad with lots of strange things going on, never frightening just strange.

i was having dreams about when i was a child in an old house.

I could describe the house very well, several stories high and old in style. I remember it being on the coast with big grey waves crashing onto the shore. I also remember a little finger puppet, like a goblin with 2 arms outstretched.

The next thing i remember dreaming about is being at the bottom of the stairs screaming, terrified by something, then i wake up.

Turns out when i was a child (3-4) we had gone to Anglesey to a family friends house on holiday. There was indeed finger puppets and stormy seas. It gets strange however that my mum was disturbed in the middle of the night by me screaming (like shes never heard before) at the bottom of the stairs. She had no idea how i had got there as i would have had to pass her room and she was awake. She says she felt so scared that she couldnt come down the stairs to get me straight away.

I had no memory of this until i mentioned my dream to my mum!
