It happens to be a snow storm around me but I’ve parked our car safely before it began. I look out the window and notice a car stalled which looks like it was in an accident. The car is a large old Cadilac. A policeman is directing it to go straight instead of curving with the road because there are apparently more accidents along the well driven road. The car struggles out of the snow and goes forward in what appears to be a dirt road which also has a lot of snow around it and does not look as though it has yet been plowed.

Steve, how do you remember your dreams so clearly? I can only remember them as soon as I wake up, then they are all forgotten.

Most of them are not so clear. But some of them are and I have to train myself to keep my mind on the dream upon awakening and then get write ✍️ to a piece of paper or the computer and attempt to recall all the details before other thoughts clamor in and destroy the dreams details. The subconscious mind has a tendency to close itself off from the conscious mind or it can be seen as conversely; the conscious mind closes off subconscious memories.

I believe that some of memory recall has come out of frustration. That is I dream of music quite often and it is music I’ve never heard of before. I really have a desire to remember it because it was retrieved from a deep repository that gives us creative ideas, whether musical, scientific or otherwise. It is quite frustrating, for instance, if I hear a totally original keyboard part, which I did about a month ago. I thought I hummed it, on a recording before I played it that morning. But a week or so I went back and could not find the recording. It is out of frustration and deceptive thoughts that make us doubly more alert if such inspirations arise again.
