"Whenever you remember something, you are actually changing the memory of it. When you remember something by thinking about it or reliving the event, you're essentially creating a whole new memory based on the old one, plus everything that's happened in between that has shaped you and new associations that may happen since you're remembering the event in a different context: All of our remembered pasts are transformed by the present." (from Mind Wide Open)
I had an interesting dream 2 nights ago. I was at my high school reunion and I saw a lot of people that I haven't thought about for 20 years. Their faces were clear, I knew their names, and remembered things about them. It is kind of bizarre what bubbles up into dreams.

You should attend your next class reunion. You learn interesting things about others as well as yourself.
