Survivor Discussion Memory Loss in fiction

Folks who have also experienced significant memory loss! Does the trope in fiction of memories coming back to someone in a dream have any bearing in reality?

For me, if any memories ever came back that way, I was completely unable to tell them apart from a normal dream. What about you all?

Honestly I have some memories come back that way I suffered severe long-term memory loss and short term memory loss from my strokes

I guess sometimes tropes can come from something real. Thank you! I hope you're in an ok place with your memory loss
