SummaryThere are several different scientific classifications of memory. The type that memoirists most often use is delineated thus: Long-term -> Declarative -> Episodic.
Declarative or explicit memory requires conscious recall, which is what memoirists attempt when writing a scene from memory. Episodic, aka autobiographical memory, is made up of personal memories: sensations, emotions, and associations as well as events. Information in episodic memory is specific to its context, i.e. time and place.
While the physical mechanisms of long-term memory are currently unknown, it is thought that memories are consolidated and organized during sleep. Dreams are hypothesized to be our brains trying to make sense of the days events, and other memories
