I don't know if my experience is necessarily true for anyone else, but when I started to get fascinated with my dreams and starting taking fairly detailed notes of them immediately upon waking each time, rather than waiting until I got up in the morning, I eventually started to record a lot more than I expected to each morning. I often record as many as three or four dreams by the time I get up, and sometimes as many as six or seven (my record so far was eight on February 8). It's no longer unusual for me to sometimes wake up even after only the first three to five hours of sleep in the night and remember at least one dream in fairly good detail.
I noticed that now I almost always "automatically" wake up after approximately the first four hours of sleep, sometimes remembering a dream, sometimes not. Then I tend to wake up several times throughout the rest of the morning, remembering at least one (and sometimes two or three) dreams to record each time. Usually, it doesn't take long to fall back asleep.
All I really did was start taking notes of my dreams each time I woke up at night remembering them, and all this started happening on its own.
