It's certainly nice when I can recall the musings of my subconscious, but at the same time, not remembering the dreams keeps those ideas from festering within the fetters of a single narrative, instead they become individualized, broken down and remixed until they become as a painter's ever expanding palette, prepared to create new concoctions for the night ahead. Maybe I'm just superstitious, but I feel like forgetting a dream allows it to mutate, and by process of natural selection, become some new form of reality that was previously impossible.

I had a dream once about going into a 'font shop' where you could view fonts in books and then buy them - instead of only on line. I t was great, especially when I realised that all the font designs were MINE! fwaor!!

If you haven't woken up too much you should fall back into REM quite quickly and then when you wake in an hour you will be wrenched straight out of it.That's when memories of your dream are stored in your short term memory and you have to consciously go through them and actively remember them or they will be gone by the time you have your corn flakes. Keeping a dream journal is one way to encourage this. Try setting your an alarm an hour or an hour and a half early, when it wakes you just turn it off and go back to sleep.
