Perchance to Dream

I wish I could remember my dreams better. I tend to only really remember dreams when they happen in that groggy half awake half asleep period before you get up and even then the dream usually ends up fading pretty quick. I tend to envy people who remember vividly their dreams since more often than not the only sense I have that I have had a dream is that vague recollection of dreaming something. I envy them because remembering dreams seems cool. I hear people talking about their dreams, trying to figure out if they mean anything or talking about the cool things they did in their dreams and I want to experience that too. Unfortunately the only times I do remember dreaming can be separated into two categories:
1. I wake up. I know I was dreaming, I feel somehow excited about it and then I try and think about the dream and I get nothing! The dream has disappeared from my memory and all it has left is the ghost of an idea, taunting me about something cool that I'll never regain.
and
2. The rare times I do actually remember my dreams. Yes, sometimes they are interesting and possibly even exciting but most of the dreams I seem to remember end up being boring and mundane; like the other morning when I woke up and remembered vividly my dream, unfortunately my dream consisted of me getting up, getting ready for work and heading off to my job. There could be no duller dream and the most frustrating part was that since it was only a dream I had to go through my whole morning routine annoyed, since I felt I had already done all that stuff once that morning.
Stupid brain!
