Forgotten Dreams

I love dreams and dreaming.

It is amazing how much memory of feelings we can retain despite forgetting all the specifics in dreams; I wonder if that has implications in the world of the awake.

I can remember feelings of love for people whose names I can barely remember and whose faces I cannot begin to remember. These things are just gone forever. Perhaps some of that is retained in our dreamworld. Perhaps the dream that I forgot had the face of someone I forgot and all I have is a vague feeling of love or joy or confusion or whatever else I associated with this forgotten person long ago.
