Asked: Memory in Lucid Dreams?
I've heard your memory in lucid dreaming is different from waking life? Is this true? If so, could you give me a small explanation? Something besides "It's hard to explain."

I think dreams are mostly symbolic, stories and emotions. Trying to see detail wakes me up. It's not exactly dreaming to me either, as I have to make up the story. To me it's like being awake. When the little bit of a story there is starts going downhill, I don't like that and just wake up. Memory is partly captured in emotions. We have an emotional memory for things that can't be remembered otherwise. I saw that in the youtube video, "Neuroscience of Emotions". I guess we don't want to think about some things while we are awake so deal with them in dream and may not remember what we dreamed or interpret the meaning, when there is that type of meaning. Sometimes it's just reliving emotions and types of event in a symbolic version. I have to figure out the meaning when I wake up. That's probably not the whole answer, but that's what I experience that relates. Hope it helps a little.
