    @lost key problem:

    Another big problem of forgetting where your key is, that you cant put it at the "key spot" right away. There are obstacles, that prevent you from doing it.

    E.g. if I take a walk in the neighborhood, which partly leads you through the woods, the shoes probably get a bit dirty. So, after opening the door you CANT go right to your key store spot. Well at least unless you like cleaning dirt very much. So you have to change your shoes at the door entrance. To do that you have to put you key away, so your hands are free. Already issue number 1 to make you lose your key. Then after, e.g. if you maybe were shopping and have a bag, you put your keys on the table to get rid of it to have free hands. If e.g. a family member asks you something in that moment or greets you, your attention span gets distracted again for the minor thing of storing your key.

    That are just some simple examples. There is a lot more that can happen on your way from the door to the key store spot. So unless you are really attentive and focus on your key, you probably will lose it.

    Its probably a useful thing to make a list of important things, like keys, smartphone, wallet etc, so you pay more attention to it in such situations. I think otherwise you will search for them until the end of your life. 😀

    I always know where my key is cause I always go "key out the bag in the hole twisty key back in bag" every day when I get home. Its in the first pen slot in my backpack cause it fits perfectly there.

    Every time you walk through a doorway you enter a new environment. Maybe it's not the doorway, or the new environment, but that action of mentally processing the new environment. Once this occurs, even returning to the previous environment doesn't revert you to the previous state.

    I always have room for desserts, coke, chips etc when I run out of stimulants. Its a never filling hole inside. Hopefully will get my meds refill soon and get my work done. Wish adderall was approved in my country.

    Writing down your dreams really does work. I used to never remember my dreams. It always felt to me like time wasted, having experiences and not remembering them. Since I started writing my dreams down I remember at least 5 a week. It's not a super useful talent, but it does mean that more of your conscious time is being utilized by your memory instead of being thrown away.

    One question I have is this.

    Why is it that for those who consume cannabis, when they stop, they seem to have a massive spike in dreams?

    I use cannabis for pain relief from neck spinal surgery and due to it, random migraines.
    I recently took a break this week and have been having a lot more dreams as opposed to the blank nothingness of dreams I am used to off or on cannabis. Also, side note, cannabis strains are flipped for me.

    I just realized that my having seen the original 1984 Ghostbusters at a tender age, I've been disinclined to participate in any sort of psychological studies.

    What about when you clearly remember something having happened and then think, "wait, is that a real memory, or was that a dream I had?"

    Then there's the opposite:

    I remember my dreams occasionally. Recently, I woke up and started looking up "congestive heart failure" on my tablet and checking symptoms. I "remembered" that a doctor had recently said I had it. Then gradually, I realized I had dreamt it. In fact, someone several years ago had thought I had CHF because of certain medications I take, but it's not true. Still, I was convinced of it for a few minutes after I woke up that morning. I even checked my online medical record just in case, but it wasn't there.

    Last one, about room for dessert, left me a bit perplexed. Why, if I eat Aubergines and eggs for dinner until i am full, i still have room for Sacher torte, but if i eat Cinnamon rolls for dinner until satiety, i won't have room for spaghetti and meatballs? It has to do with glucose.

    I remember my dreams most often when I wake up too early, fall back asleep for about 20 minutes. Those are often the LONGEST dreams ever.
    I've always been able to remember multiple dreams. Up to 4 on a good day.
    When I was training with a journal, I got that up to 9 but near the end, the last 5 were just me trying to find a piece of paper to write the dream I just had down so I had to stop. Dreams are often exhausting to me. Especially ones where I go to work then I have to wake up and go to work again. I'd love to not remember my dreams.

    Brain-think: dreams and REM sleep = cognitive dress rehearsal? Like, our brains running diagnostic tests in our body's down time?
