Conditions for having a dream?

[sleepysean]

What are the conditions for having a dream that you are more likely to remember?
For some reason, when I sleep at my friends house (on the floor), I almost always have a dream or two each night I spend there.

However, when I'm at my house, on a regular night, getting some sleep, I rarely have any dreams; why is this?

thanks in advance.

Unfortunately there is no magic formula.  No one can say...do this, then this, and this and you'll remember all your dreams.  It is all just a matter of your awareness.  Since every ones brain works differently, every ones awareness is different.  

The difference between being at home and being some where else when dream is also a difference of awareness.  When you are at home you typically more relaxed and comfortable.   Most people of the most comfortable at home in their own bed.  So they tend to sleep deeper and are less conscious of their surroundings because it's home.
When you are some place else and trying to get some sleep you are much more aware of your surroundings simply because its not your home, your safe zone.  Even though you are at a friends house, even if you have stayed there several times, it's still not your home, and your bed.  Most people get this.  The only time some one really doesn't is if they are the type that moves around a lot.  People who travel a lot, especially for work, usually don't have the same problem.
