In the interview, Borges does say that waking up is like remembering oneself.
Quote:
Pienso en una frase común: "recordarse", que es porque uno se olvidó de uno mismo y al despertarse se recuerda.
He may have heard it in another region or, if he's just using it as a metaphor, it coincides with the way the verb was (or is) used. In any case, it's most probably not the most common use of the word for him or for Argentine speakers, which is clear by now.
