Martian is right....the remembering is based totally on the stage you wake up in. I have been studying this a lot lately. All people dream, if they were to do a sleep study on you, they'd tell you that you dreamt, you're just waking up in the wrong stage to remember them.
Im a very vivid dreamer, Im also a lucid dreamer. I had a sleep study done once to check me for a problem. When the results came back it showed that I completely skip one stage of sleep and only spent 1% in another one of them, I'd have to get my papers back out to remember which ones. They said I started dreaming 8 minutes into sleep and dreamt 90% of the total sleeping time (about 9 hours). They wake you up once during the sleep study..I got up went to pee, went back, got hooked back up and went to back to sleep, they said that time I was dreaming within 4 minutes.
It is not at all uncommon for me to be lucid, and since becoming diabetic that has enhanced...dont know if its a coincidence of not.
My dreams are so weird I've started keeping an online blog about them where I tell the dream and information such as how I felt in the dream, how I felt when I woke up, what the dreams dictionary says and if I can connect those meanings with whats going on in my life.
I had one reoccuring nightmare until I was 22, but when I moved out of the house I was living in (the one I grew up in) to get married I only ever had it one more time...a night I spent with my parents.
Now I only have nightmares where I actually wake up screaming if I take vicodin.
