I do. I think I always have. Sometimes I remember several dreams from one night.
Today I woke up in a dream about trying to pack up an old house full of my belongings to move across the country to where I was living now (presumably Seattle). I was there with a friend, who was willing to help me, but mostly along for the ride, socializing with the other people in the house. There seemed to be quite a few.
I was having trouble packing everything, or rather, getting motivated to pack everything. There seemed to be at least one thing of mine in every crevice I searched, even though I thought I'd made progress. It felt neverending, but it was also fun to open cupboard doors and find little treasures.
The day was coming to an end and I'd barely begun. As I was losing daylight I made a big decision to keep only the items that fit in my car and leave the rest. I felt a huge sense of relief with that decision, even though I seemed to be highly emotionally attached to a wooden table (and 4 chairs) and clearly wouldn't fit in my car.
I think the table is one from my childhood and the chairs are the ones that currently belong to Aaron. Oh, and my friend made me put her up in a swanky resort for the night while I finished packing, and then I would pick her up in the morning to make the long drive home.

I usually remember my dreams if I have time to be relaxed in bed in the morning. Otherwise, not really. Unless something jogs my memory during the day.
I remember the teacher nightmare dreams that usually occur before school starts each fall. Funny, I'm having them now ... right before I retire. Hm. Once in a blue moon I remember dreams esp. if I talk about them or write them down right away.
I remeber them just as I wake up but then I can't recall them during the day...Except to know that I remembered them briefly when I woke up...The exception is for truly outstanding or upsetting dreams, including the very disturbing recurring dream that I had when I was REALLY young (3-5 years old) that I can still remember every image of to this day.
