Semistructured interviews were conducted in person or via videoconference. Participants were asked to describe their most vivid memory from their ICU stay and any visual, auditory, olfactory, and tactile triggers of ICU-related memories. Interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 35 ARDS survivors were interviewed. Five major themes and 17 subthemes emerged from the data.

Nearly half the participants (n = 16; 46%) reported dreams as their most vivid memory. The term dreams was used because it was often unclear whether the memories occurred while participants were asleep or in a delirious state. Most participants (n = 31; 89%) reported at least one sensory memory trigger, with visual and auditory triggers the most common.
