A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

You can learn to lucid dream. Most everyone I assume. Once you do, you can establish different places or scenes where you play things out regularly, and then you start being able to remember things a bit better, because it's like you actually went on a visit to this place, there's something to keep jogging the memory onward to "what I was doing last night." I can tell you what my past few years of dreams have been like as they gradually shifted and changed, but that'd be very boring.
Even with lucid dreaming, there is an element of randomness, and a big part of that is "today's consolidated memories" so expect those things to come up as plotlines, sometimes in very amusing ways.
These days I don't take control but I do still have the places, so it's interesting seeing my subconscious resolve things in these places. Lot more other people in my dreams now, reflective of my improved mental health and social connectedness.
I don’t want full lucidity, because I like seeing what my subconscious comes up with. I have enough control to steer dreams away from things I find unpleasant, and I’m happy with that.
But I also have recurring “places” I go to in my dreams. There’s one particular place I enjoy going to, which feels like close to Florida (in my mental GPS) and has an eastern coast, but its geography otherwise is more like southern California, with mountains and rocky beaches/islands. It has the games, rides, and boardwalks of New Jersey, as well as an unlit stretch of a moonless beach that I once experienced in Delaware. (I was a child, and I vividly remember walking into a pitch black void, hearing the waves crashing, but not knowing how far away the water was. My family was ahead of me and kept telling me to keep going. That moment comes up a lot when I think about the future.)
Anyway, I’ve spent dream times all over that place. Sometimes it’s part of a road trip and I’m just traveling through, sometimes I’m visiting people who live there, sometimes there are events going on, or I need to navigate a busy, multi-story shopping mall.
It’s a pretty pleasant place, honestly.
