Forgetting to remember
<div class="text-justify">

![DSC_0376 Custom.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/celestal/eebBVnPZ-DSC_037620Custom.jpg)

The other day I woke up with a weird feeling: it was as if I was supposed to remember something, but I couldn't remember what it was. I swear it was something important, something that I told myself: "keep this in your mind, write it down, don't forget it."

![DSC_0377_01 Custom.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/celestal/DL3CulOi-DSC_0377_0120Custom.jpg)

It was as if I had been in another world; lived through lifetimes and unlived moments, counted my births, witnessed my deaths – wisdom from an event yet to experience I was trying to pass a bit of wisdom to myself.

![DSC_0380 Custom.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/celestal/F6HpmPMH-DSC_038020Custom.jpg)

Yet all I had in the morning was a feeling that what I described above is just a description of a ghost from previous life which is just a desperate attempt to simulate whatever it was I was supposed to remember. Like a word you know hovering at the tip of your tongue, but never getting it out.

![DSC_0381_01 Custom.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/celestal/Bvr8Iv7b-DSC_0381_0120Custom.jpg)

Few days later I still wonder what it is, and if it isn't anything, why am I coming up with the false sensation of it.

This is remarkable, @celestal. I suppose you will never know if it was real, or if maybe you dreamed it. Perhaps you time traveled in your sleep! I always wonder if we can exist in multiple dimensions, or times, or if we are just this thing we are conscious of. This is a very thought provoking post.

Thank you, @jayna!

I have a theory, or rather an idea, but I once thought that what if deja vu is just a result of living a moment in real life that we might've experienced in a dream, but we just can't remember (consciously) we experienced it there. 

Not sure if we can time travel in dreams and such, but they're fun things to tinker with at least.

Yes, at the end of the day, how do we even know what’s possible, and whether the reality we are conscious of is the only reality. I like your idea about deja vu.

This was really cool to read. Apart from the fact that you described exactly the fleeting, hazy way lost memory feels like, your pics reminded me of some fungal growth. Actually I was waiting for the revelation that whatever you were supposed to remember had started to get moldy... (It happens to me on occasion, as I practice a lot of fermentation.) This way it may be even better, keeping the mystery alive.

Thanks, @stortebeker!

Interesting interpretation with the mold – that was completely unintentional from my part as I didn't even pay attention to that aspect of the pictures, but it's really cool to hear they can evoke personal interpretations.
