True, authentic, faithful: Accuracy in memory for dreams

Résumé

What is it to remember a dream accurately? This paper argues that neither of the two available concepts of mnemic accuracy, namely, truth and authenticity, enables us to answer this question and that a new understanding of accuracy is therefore needed: a dream memory is accurate not when it is true or authentic but rather when it is “faithful” to the remembered dream. In addition to memory for dreams, the paper applies the notion of faithfulness to memory for perceptual experiences, memory for imaginations, and memory for hallucinations and briefly considers the broader implications of adopting an understanding of mnemic accuracy as faithfulness.
