Living in between dreams...(24/3)

People say that memory begins to get deteriorated after 25 years-old. Old people tend to remember things long ago rather than the recent past...Things are memorable when there have weight and meaning to a life. Retired people get used to live in the memory of their glory and unforgetable experience they had when they were young and ambitious to life. Those could be incidences that impact much to their life, and to me, this phenomenon is something reasonable and rational. It is nostalgic and reminiscent. Simply a tree or a lamp can always recall a good or bad moment. I believe the kind of memory as a means of existence. When my age goes beyond 25, I start to get aware of the saying about a gradual retard of memory function of my brain. I guess the problem, if existed, can be improved by a conscious training to have a habit to remember. If you do not get used to train up your brain to perform its function, its potential could get lost and soon you will forget things happening yesterday. In general, human's nature of adaptation to environment may be another lubricant causing a fading memory power. In modern life, people have to commence a career after graduating from school, and in this capitalist world, it is common for a person to go work in a routine manner, say an office work from nine to five. A stablised living model and pattern lets a person to get adapt to a regular life, and there is no need to remember everyday a new trap or hazard that could take one's life away like the case in the stone age (perhaps it still exists in modern life, I dare not simply draw a conclusion like this). The working mode occupies quite a large part of life in terms of number of hours and it is simply too routine that memory may become a less important part of the brain function compared with analytical or imaginative commands. I hear from time to time the white collar demanding a change of life. This is more an imaginative command than a memory one. A stablised lifestyle needs some maintenance by changes and modifications. They are impacts to life. Routine path can sometimes find its exit from dreams at night. My problem is that all the dreams I had are exotic and innovative which appears to bring me out of the circle, but a fading memory both physically and mentally hinders me from a sort of evolution to metamorphosis like those of Kafka...haha...or simply perhaps I am just dreaming now...
