I have a vague memory of a dream which had a lasting effect on my concept of personal identity. In the dream, there were two characters who each observed the same event from different perspectives, but were not at the time aware of each other’s thoughts. However, when I woke up, I equally remembered “being” each of those characters, even though I also remembered that they were not the same person at the time. This showed me that it’s possible for two separate minds to merge into one, and that personal identity is not transitive.
