I have eidetic(photographic) memory and it is moderately developed. All though I cannot use it to read books at great speed yet, it is a useful tool. For the past couple of weeks, I have been experiencing "technical difficulties" when using this skill. Instead of the information coming to me then, it is appearing in my dreams. I am reading and visualizing the information again in the dreams. From calculus books I read weeks ago to philosophy, biology, and geography books I read at least 7 years ago. Why is this happening. I am aware you cannot make a completely valid opinion seeing as you cannot examine and profile me through the computer, but what do you speculate the problem is? Also, as I remember events from years ago( I do this often), I see them in vivid picture, yet at times, I am seeing them at nightime, even though in real life, I viewed them in the daytime. Why is this?
Thank you for your opinions.

Before this started happening 4 weeks ago, I saw everything the way it was, and could pull up my total recall at any time.
Also, is this normal for high IQ people. I could find anything about it in psychological testing and behavioral neuroscience. I have an IQ of 160+ WAIS. For other eidetic memory holders, are these "episodes" normal? Do they continue, or is this occurence an anomoly?

You probably take things too seriously or some of the events could have traumatized you or happened close to or near a traumatic event.

I am sorry i started to answer this question, but i feel that i am not the one to answer this for you. You need to go to a professionals office, and ask this. I really don't think you are going to find the right answer here, just getting an opinion. Like you said you can not be seen and tested by the people you are asking, so go to someone you can be tested by. That is the only answer i can give you not knowing more. sorry.....
Have a Very Merry Christmas

This is most likely your subconsious processing information, it finds discrepancies and must resolve them, this can manifest it self in dreams. As you are not finished processing data, the effect is essentially lag time.
Relax, all will return to normal when the information is resolved to your unconsious satisfaction.

People process information differently. Apparently you process yours better at night. I'm that way. The only way I can learn something is by sleeping on it.

You're merely thinking on the subject of your focus. Thinking will take you many places... all leading... nowhere.
