For me, I occasionally remember snippets or often nothing at all. As I said, recently, I've been getting more clear messages and symbols. I quit smoking cigarettes (again) just within the past few months so I find that in my dreams I'm often looking for a smoke from someone, and it's often there that my jumping off point of recollection comes to me. A little ironic, but I'll take it.
I think as caycegal said, as with anything it's intention, I think if we start forgetting our dreams sometimes, we wake up without a memory, and it's easy to get into the habit of sleep being a dark place of just "rest" for our tired bodies and minds without a lot of excitement. I think a lot of forgetting has to do with the veil and the work we do in our dreams, the learn/teaching we do that's 4D+ that we can only access subconsciously yet at this stage. Substances and things we ingest have a lot of effect on dreams (minus the setting of intentions) - I've smoked marijuana for a long while so I think that adds a depressing affect upon dreams, where as when I used to drink alcohol, it would always end up with very vivid dreams. Eating certain foods before sleeping can affect how we dream too, though I think a lot of that is the unconscious sleep-interpreting indigestion.
Anyway, as I said, I've only been dictating my dreams for a week. This was my 3rd successful attempt out of 6 or 7, and I had a clear and amazing experience. So it comes very highly recommended as a practice! Prior to me making the actual regular attempts at intention, I was definitely noticing that almost all of my dreams occurred "after school" or "after work" in often similar building structures with lots of mystery. This was confirmation to me that I was teach/learning/"working" in my dream world so now I'm really curious where I go, and eventually it would be great if I could set me intentions to do specific work and maybe help specific people? I'm not sure. I spend a lot of time "after work" at my old job where I still care for many people who work there and had an irrational attachment to seeing the place do well, to the point where I martyred myself. So I'm very interested in the phenomenon and I will definitely keep you guys informed if I have anymore exciting and uplifting journeys or messages!
