    It must be something you are thinking of subconsciously. Only you will know whether they are significant memories or not.

    Dreams and memories are very closely related. They both address the subconscious part of the brain. Dreams can be triggered by memories. Memories can be triggered by dreams. Maybe both or either are occurring without thought, but when this connection is realized, they are no longer part of the subconscious.
