Does anyone else get brief flashbacks to forgotten dreams?

Does anyone else have this? For several weeks now I get flashbacks to previous dreams. They are extremely fleeting but enough to remind me of a dream and then they disappear. I then struggle to remember the dream again.
This happens several times a day and then multiple times when I’m trying to fall asleep. It’s kind of hard to explain do not sure how much sense this post makes!

I get this a lot. I call it ‘dream deja vu’.

And do you find that they disappear really quickly and you’re left wracking your brains trying to remember the dream? It’s so frustrating and makes me feel like I’m losing my mind!

Yes! It's so odd isn't it.

Yes I get this. I rarely remember dreams but this does happen and it’s very odd! And frustrating now being able to recall more than a moment.

I am glad others get it too but sorry for you all as it is so frustrating!

I often get dreams that follow on from previous dreams that I've had months, and often years, previously.
I've always been a really rich, intense dreamer.
