You can train yourself to remember dreams if you start writing down everything you remember.
You can also learn to recognize that you are in a dream and take control (look up lucid dreaming).
Or don't, maybe we are supposed to forget them. For instance I do not want to remember my dreams as I have barely ever had a pleasant one. I'd rather wake up in blissful ignorance of whatever shit my broken brain threw together while it tries to suffocate me.
I subscribe to the idea that dreams are a byproduct of your brain defragmenting itself, or priming its neural-net with images trained during the daytime.
To remember the byproduct might undermine this process, in the same way that feeding a NN its own output might produce garbage output later.
The recent AI generated videos are such an accurate portrayal of dreams that there must be some parallels there
