Not everything is negative when dreaming of losing memory
Suddenly you open your eyes and you don’t remember your name, who you are, or your family, or your work, or where you live. Nothing. You don’t remember anything and panic enters. What happened? The meaning of this dream in which you lose memory is not completely negative, everything depends on the sensations you experience.
You may feel overwhelmed for remembering anything. The fear of old age or a disease that erases you memories is very common and often dreams are a mere reflection of your real fears. In this case, it is best to wake up as soon as possible and check that you know perfectly who you are and where you come from.
Or you may feel freed and happy when you remember anything. It seems a bit surreal, but if you have erased all your memories it is because you need to start a new life, rebuild or, rather, reinvent yourself. From zero it is not a bad idea when everything goes wrong and you find problems of impossible solution. But neither does you take sleep to the letter.
More worrying is this dream in which you lose memory if it occurs for any traumatic event. Violent episodes with whom you do not want to load the rest of your life or childhood situations that you would like to have not lived. If so, you will have to deal with your memories because losing memory is not the best way to overcome them.
