I've always been told that you have to practice remembering dreams in order to get better at it. And the often-cited way of practicing that is by keeping a dream-diary that you're suppose to write in whenever you wake up. Likewise, I've never heard of the whole "you only remember a dream if you wake up during it". Sometimes I go through a few dreams, wake up naturally, and remember some of the previous ones (and not the last one).

>Likewise, I've never heard of the whole "you only remember a dream if you wake up during it". I can't speak to its validity, but there are studies like this: http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00419 http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00419 > Studies in cognitive psychology showed ... nocturnal awakenings ... are significantly related to dream recall frequency Though there are clearly many other factors too!
