"The Boston Red Sox remained segregated until 1959—14 years after Jackie Robinson’s original tryout and two seasons after Mr. Robinson retired. The team rostered its first Black player, Pumpsie Green, only after the NAACP charged them with racial discrimination and the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination forced them to integrate. They were the last team in MLB to accept Black players." https://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/apr/16

I have early memories of seeing auroras, but those memories are embedded inside memories of recurring dreams I used to have.

I also have early memories of a house my family lived in for a while, but those memories are also embedded inside the memories of recurring dreams (actually a childhood nightmare).

I wonder if there's a word for only remembering something through a memory of a dream?
