How good are you at fully remembering details when you are asleep? I myself remember only vague things and my mind tends to make up details to fit all the pieces together. As such my memory is often mostly my waking imaginings instead of what I may or may not have actually seen in my dream.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
