Remembering when concious is a great technique for reinforcing memory and it may be precisely what the brain is doing. Wikipedia has a balanced review of the theories of how dreams work or what they are for. If you are interested in a scientific rather than psychoanalytical or mystical perspective I would highlight section on the hippocampus: In every place in which I have lived my dreams occur in an exaggerated representation of that place. Sometimes get insights into the prejudices and assumptions I make. As an architect I have had detailed dreams of projects I was working on. This allowed me to see and resolve problems which have been unresolvable whilst awake! Why don't you try and record in words or draw and then perhaps even share some of these images?

There are some extraordinary things out there. Sounds like your spirit is actually visiting these places while you sleep, astral travelling. There are some extraordinary things out there.
