Similar for me; I remember very few dreams, but the few that I remembered quite clearly upon waking were dreams in which my subconscious was sending me a strong message about how I felt about something.
I was never all that happy in my old profession, and I changed jobs a lot looking for the "perfect" employer. Finally, I started working on a contract basis and changed jobs every few months. Then I had a very clear dream in which I was kidnapped by businessmen! They held me prisoner for months, and every so often we'd change location. They'd blindfold me and take us on a long drive; when they took off the blindfold, we'd be at another hideout.
They made it very clear that I could be "free" if I'd join them. But I preferred to be captive to being one of them. One day I woke up and they were all gone. The doors were wide open. I wandered outside and found that I was in a small town on an island. I wandered around and found that all the other houses I'd been captive in were just a couple of blocks apart! I woke up with this thought in my head: "You can move from house to house, but it's always the same old town."
At that point, I started thinking seriously about changing careers!
