The mind is always functioning. When things are bothering us and we have not figured out the problem we often dream about it. However, when we dream we act it out like a play back in a movie. Sometimes we figure out the answer in our dreams and when we wake up we all of a sudden feel better and even realize the solution. That is usually when we say it is like a light came on. Sometimes years can go by and all of a sudden you wake up thinking about it with an answer to the problem and you wonder where it came from. They say we actually were thinking about it for years. Not only that, but the mind actually is working on so many things at once and we don't even realize it. Sort of like a computer running several programs behind each other.
Is it normal to have memories of the distance past in dreams?
