My husband never remembered his dreams until I started telling him about some of mine. Now he'll remember a few and tells them to me. His are kind of fun (mine are often wacky) as he often dreams about something that happened in another dream! He's woken himself up because he'll get frustrated looking for something or trying to solve a problem that happened in another dream only to realize that once he's awake.
I use to remember a lot of dreams when I was working with them and working hard in therapy. Now since I've finished therapy and "settled down"

I don't remember as many as often. I used my dreams to help me get in touch with myself and they obliged.
You can "teach" yourself to remember your dreams if you want to:
