I actually have a draem every single night, and I only forget them if I don't immediately start thinking about it when I wake up. Such as if i wake up and go to the bathroom without thinking about it I'll more than likely forget 99% of it.
If you arn't having dreams everynight I'd like to ask you, how long are you sleeping for? I used to never get dreams in highschool and such cuz I only slept like 4-6 hours a night. I sleep around 7-8 hours now adays, and ever since i've started this much healthier habit I started having a dream every night.
Though to contradict my advice, I have had dreams while napping for 1 to 2 hours, so not sure how much it relates to the amount of sleep you get. Anyways, only know what I've experienced myself.
All humans have several dreams during every sleep. But dreams are stored in short term memory, and generally clear out by the time one wakes, as there's a decent transition period between the level of sleep where you can dream and the point of waking (or should be). The only way to remember a dream is to wake up early in the cycle (best if in the actual middle of a dream). Even in this case, the dream will remain in short term memory only and vanish within several minutes/hours if you don't consciously go over all of the facts of your dream again while awake.
The funny thing about this comes if you attempt lucid dreaming. It sounds non-intuitive, but you could train yourself to lucid dream and have several lucid dreams in any given night, but be totally unaware of it by the time you wake up. This is why lucid dreamers often set alarms in the middle of one of their REM phases.
