This may expliain why we don't typically dream about specific events in the past or why some people cannot dream in color. I don't see lack of memory as a diminishing of awareness. In fact, we have the ability to forget such memories that don't warrant remembering. Most memories that are lost are insignificant. The important memories we hold on to because they help us mature and learn. Some 80 year olds have excellent memory while others do not. This has, probably, more to do with how one has lived his/her life.(diet, physical activities, alcohol, etc.) Thus we can see how our consciousness or reality affects our memory. It would seem, however, that if one is, in fact, aware that harmful substances entered in the body could affect memory and lived life according to this belief, he/she would have a better memory longer. Yet, perfectly healthy people develope Parkinsons Disease and Alzheimers. Hence, a paradox unless we can surmize and become aware that memories are an affect of our conscious state and are discarded as we traverse levels of consciousness.

There is obviously a connection between evocable memories and awareness. I can't make a clear stand-point on whether the diminishing of awareness is a cultural draw back or a possible protective mechanism, or something else. What is clear to me on this is that once maturation starts to unfold, regaining it is a need. More than that, it seems to be essential for any progress in the context of self transformation.
