I'm open to repressed memories of childhood sexual trauma being a thing, but I'm genuinely curious how they know the memories aren't dreams. I've had lots of childhood memories I thought definitely happened but turned out to probably have come from dreams.

Im not sure how it works. But I’ve asked someone close to me to answer the question, who had memories since the abuse as a child, but also repressed ones that surfaced later in life. Will update soon

Bessel van der Kolk discusses this in his book “The Body Keeps The Score” it’s rather involved to discuss on Twitter. Abuse can be buried and hidden as a means of self protection as much as it can be faked.
