About This Quote
And, as always happens and happens far too soon, the strange and wonderful becomes a memory and a memory becomes a dream. Tomorrow it's gone. - Richard Bach I don't think that Richard Bach was referring to our memories when he wrote this. Instead, I think this phrase is meant to describe the changes in our lives.
We tend to remember our lives before we were married, before we had children; we tend to remember our lives in school; we tend to remember the good times in life and the bad times in life; we tend to remember moments in time: like: when we were in love, when we were in school, when we graduated college... But the truth is: none of these memories are true anymore; they are all memories that have become dreams. We often refer back to them as if they will come true again.
When you experience a great loss like losing a loved one or experiencing some other major tragedy, your memories will be limited and you will stop dreaming about the good things in your life.
