Hi I recently have gotten back into lucid dreaming after a few months without and lucid dreams. I am actively remembering and recording my dreams now, and I have noticed something. In most of my dreams if I ever try to remember something or figure out how I got there, there is normally a perfectly acceptable answer in the form of in dream memories. Sometimes I just have random memories float into my head, like in WL. Like sometimes I feel like I could remember a whole lifetime if felt like it. It doesn’t often help if I wonder, “How did i get here?”, but it makes for a very in depth and realistic dream (not to mention some confusion on awakening). I was just wondering your thoughts on this. Thanks for reading.
Are you sure you’re taking it step by step? It’s easy enough to think “Oh yeah I came in the car”
But are you actually physically taking yourself, step for step, breath for breath through how you got there?
If so, then I don’t know. Try a different technique perhaps? 
It’s more like this. In this one dream i had recently we were staying at a hotel because of my dads business trip. At one point in the dream I just stopped and recalled how we got there and checking in and going up the elevator and everything, though it had not been acted out in the dream. I did not do this as a form of reality check, it was just an in-dream expirence (I also missed a ton of dream-signs that dream but that is beside the point) This I have discovered upon recollection to have happened in many of my dreams. Once or twice I have known that I have had an entire life (dream life memories) prior to that point in the dream. Though I never actually lived it out in the dream. Make sense? It is confusing even to me.
Looks like you may have conditioned yourself (not intentionally) to actually fabricate dream memories. o_O
Try a different technique.
Yeah, I like realistic dreams. I haven’t used this to gain lucidity (and now I don’t think I should try that much to), but normally I do the nose RC or just kinda know that I’m dreaming. I think it would be fun though in a LD to try to remember my dream past from that dream, I wonder if that would work… 
I guess I’ll try.
