I can understand you - I get that ALL the time!

Basically I think it's nothing to do with the dream, it's your level of recall. You can have no recall, part recall, total recall and triggered recall.

Triggered recall aounds like what you're describing. Events in your day make you recall part/all of your dream. Sometimes you get several triggers a day, inducing part recall.

It's really annoying, but you can get rid of it by making your recall better.
