The data are processed in short term memory as what we call dreams. That's why most of our dream experiences are lost shortly after we awake. Some are so disturbing, however, that we can retain them for longer periods. Almost none go to long term memory storage.

That's good scientific information from you Kentucker, as usual. Much appreciated.

One can, however, master some "amendment" to this. I don't have the data to back it up. I just know it from my own experience. I can't prove it to anyone, but I know it as surely as I "know" that I was alive yesterday.

When I was 19 my sleeping girlfriend inadvertly kicked me in the middle of the night. It woke me from a dream unlike any I'd ever remembered. In this dream I was a manta ray. Simple as that. I was a manta ray swimming in a dark but luxurious ocean. The swimming was like flying. It was more like being a fighter jet going MACH 1.5 at 40,000 feet. Climb, dive, roll left, yaw right... It was awesome. I was aware of myself as a ray, my face-stretching grin, and the sensations of "flying" about an infinite womb of warmth and wonderment. There had been NOTHING of or regarding being human in the dream. (At least not at the time I'd awaken).

So this got me thinking. I'd read some psychology. I knew some of the theories. I knew that we dreamed probably several dreams throughout the might but usually remembered only the dream we were dreaming when we awoke, if it. Having been "accidentally" awakened in the middle of this dream seemed serendipitous.

I decided to carry out my own (albeit purely subjective) experiments. Nothing fancy: I just went to sleep every night telling myself to dream much and to remember as many as possible. It took about 3 weeks to notice any difference, but after that time there were changes. I began to awake with very distinct memories of the night's last dream and bits and pieces of at least one other. Within 2 more weeks I was waking with good memories of 2 to 4 dreams. Six weeks later I was (all of this seemingly, albeit) remembering significant portions of up to 7 dreams.

I also began lucid dreaming during this time. Realizing I was dreaming while I was dreaming, taking conscious control over the dream, and manifesting marvelous fantasies in which I was, for all intents and purposes, omnipotent. I had a lot of ten to twenty babe orgies during these, but my very favorite feat was flying. Just taking off and flying like Sueprman. (Flying from one orgy to the next were among the creme dela creme, obviously).

Anywho~ These days to my knowledge I'm not dreaming any differently than the next dude. I had my fill I guess. I let it go. But I got a good ten to twelve years of some very remarkable dreaming (and the remembrance of these), relative what I've heard and read from others.
