In Reply to: If you wake from a vivid dream, you know the answer N.T. posted by K.B. on November 04, 2000 at 18:51:30:

: : They key to being alert is remembering what happens to you. The key to being unconscious is having no memory of what happens to you. When we sleep, we do not remember what happens to us, and therefore we are unconscious. Most of the pathways in our brain that are shut down during sleep probably deal with memory in some way, either in the recording of things or the getting of things to record.

: : Are dreams just memories? Do we really experience the dreams or do we simply wake up with, as a side effect of our brains reorganizing themselves outside of our memories, certain pathways open that tell us that give us the memory of the dream?

: : I realize that the second paragraph is a dumb question, philosophically speaking. Approach it from the point of view of science, just for the sake of interesting discussion.

You may just be awakening in the middle of one of the processes that
happens to change your memory, so your memory is only half-changed,
giving you the illusion of action without the actuality of it.
