Right before I fall asleep, I’ll remember some random details of a dream I had when I was 5-10 years old. It changes each night, but never is a newer dream.
Does that happen to anyone else?

No, but every once in a while I’ll visit a place in a dream which isn’t real, but which I’m pretty sure I’ve seen in an old dream. That’s kind of the same.
Very interesting!
I also sometimes recognise places and situations from previous dreams, or at least I dream that I recognise them…
It’s like those dreams that feels like a hours/days/years even if you only had a 5 minute nap. It’s impossible to know if time actually passed or if you just dreamt a memory of a long time passing.
A few times I have been certain that the place in the dream was the same as I have dreamt of before, but other times I am equally convinced that I’ve never actually dreamt about it before, even if it felt so in the dream.
My usual dream location I’ve returned to so often that I know where places are in relation to each other. It is a patchwork of my home area but with nearby areas that I can’t remember ever having seen IRL. Almost all my dreams, since I was a kid, takes place in this personal dream realm.
It has expanded with new places as I’ve grown though. Latest addition is a cruise ship, with extremely many decks, and a single one-person elevator. I had a room at 58th floor of 85 floors(!) in my dream a few weeks ago. And I had some trouble getting the elevator to the right floor, of course. I always have trouble getting places in dreams.
Another strange quality is that sometimes events of a dream triggers my memory of an older and often forgotten dream. Not as old as OPs, but usually weeks or months back.
That’s pretty neat!
