ELI5: Why are a lot of my childhood memories feeling like dreams as I am older looking back?

They're more distant, and you're further from the context they came to exist in. It's harder to really identify with who you were after so much change in who you are. The experience of 10 year old you is very different from the experience of 20 year old you. 

You aren't remembering you, you're remembering you as you were. The bigger that gap gets, the more alien the memory seems.
