Serious Study: Virtual Amnesia in 60 Years of Dreaming, 1A

3 minutes and 24 seconds to read

Sunday, 17 September 2023

In this crucial series of dreaming revelations gleaned from over 50 years of daily studies for at least a few hours of attentiveness per day (and mapping and decoding tens of thousands of my dreams over my lifetime thus far), I am looking at my personal dreaming experiences regarding virtual amnesia in this series of essential reports.

For me, this experience is the most critical factor related to dreaming (even though I know it is mainly caused simply by not being conscious or with viable faculties while asleep). It proves the "subconscious" or "subconscious mind" does not exist.

There are specific levels of REM virtual amnesia (one of hundreds of reasons I have no interest or belief in "dream interpretation" in the usual usages of the concept because I know, for me, it is a mistaken approach), with inexplicable compartmentalization in some modes of dreaming that have remained identical since childhood.

Here, I will examine why my mind has the in-dream susceptibility to recall real-world people exponentially more often than my current real-world address. There have been many instances when I still remembered Zsuzsanna while my recollection of our real-world address instantly disappeared, even in a light sleep.

The following paragraph is verbatim AI-generated. (Note that AI-generated text is full of errors, but I have not changed or corrected any of its text here.) Although it sounds reasonable at some levels, the theory falls apart at the slightest scrutiny (as with virtually all concepts about dreaming I have read in my lifetime, which has remained frustrating because no one in society ever seems interested in legitimacy, only in repeating fallacies). I will address significant problems with this theory at the end of this report and summarize other factors on page 1B.

A.I.-generated (verbatim): "One possible theory for why real-world recall in a dream of a person (for example, a loved one) takes high priority over recall of a current address is that the emotional salience of the person is stronger than the spatial relevance of the address. Emotions are known to enhance memory consolidation and retrieval, especially for emotionally arousing events or stimuli. Therefore, dreaming of a person who has a significant emotional impact on the dreamer may activate the memory systems that store and process emotional information, such as the amygdala and the hippocampus. These regions may then facilitate the recall of the person's identity, appearance, voice, and other features that are associated with the emotional bond. On the other hand, recalling a current address may require more cognitive effort and less emotional involvement, as it involves spatial navigation and orientation, which are mediated by different brain regions, such as the parietal cortex and the posterior cingulate cortex. These regions may not be as active or accessible during dreaming, as they are more involved in conscious awareness and attention. Therefore, recalling a current address may be more difficult or less likely than recalling a person in a dream."

I will address why this AI-generated theory is inherently wrong. (Even so, there may be minimal relevance to it. I will look into it more in the future.)

Celebrities I have never met (or find appealing) often appear in dreams (though usually only protoconsciousness personifications) when I do not recall my current real-world existence or those I love. However, there are critical considerations here.

I know (without any doubt) that celebrities appear in my dreams to trigger real-world recall for the opposite reasons that the A.I. thesis implies. That is why they occur almost exclusively as protoconsciousness to reveal that the dream state is an illusion (often initiated and discernibly scripted by my intuitive or lucid imagination), often unrelated to waking life. (Imagine what would happen if dreams modeled waking life. That would corrupt memory, the opposite of many asinine dream-related claims I have read.)

While watching movies or television shows in real life (entertainment only), I am less focused on my real-world environment when I indulge in the content. I am temporarily "receiving" someone else's imagination, fallacies, and fantastical mentation (often absurd, self-contradicting, and full of errors in continuity and reason). My cognizance is mostly absent, as with many of my dreaming modes. It is self-evident that, because of this, celebrities take precedence in corresponding with my degree of dream state intuition, especially precursory liminality and midrange liminality. (That is also why "dream interpretation" in its usual usage is nonsensical, at least regarding my dreaming history. Nothing about it ever makes any sense on any level.)

In stark contrast, other television-related content, such as world news or an educational program such as a documentary, is exponentially less likely to influence my dreams (by about 82 percent less likely, as with virtually all dream statistics of different types - which I am also interested in regarding this consistent lifelong percentage factor). When watching the news or an educational television show, my focus and cognizance are predominant (even if my real-world focus on my environment is not extant), in contrast to the make-believe factors of many movies.

On page 1B, I will add summarized points to supplement the information in this report, including aspects I have not included here.
