Long term memory is produced by rehearsal within ~24hrs of the experience. This is why trauma drugs work if taken immediately after the event. During wakefulness we aren’t aware of the ‘distributor’ behavior of the thalamus. It stores novel episodes by auto-associative rehearsal.

Dreams: the cortex never stops. Our brain’s more expensive in each state of excitement.When we are wakeful our experience provides input to model-building, prediction, and auto-association. Without external stimuli, hippocampal memory rehearsal (storage) creates auto association.
