So now I am wondering, Maybe it's not necessary to see "memories" as interruptions of the present, but as part of the stream of unfolding, not more real or less real than direct experience. One could even call them direct experience, the way a dream is a direct experience, even though we think of it as being different. There is much to reflect on!
