It's probably for the best our dreams aren't stored in long term memory. We would have a real hard time figuring out what parts of our pasts were real and what parts were dreams. Also imagine getting ptsd from some fucked up fever dream you've had.
i have this sometimes, either the memories are vivid a bit too long (and vaguely plausible, like your parents dying) and i have to just sit there for a bit waiting for my brain to sort out if it's real or a dream, or things don't quite exit the dream state right and everything just feels wrong somehow, which is fucking miserable and means i have to just try to fall back asleep so the brain can reset things and wake up properly.
