Well, now, after some days of study, I can safely say that my day's activities are totally unrelated to my dreams.

The main discernable factor is whether I awoke within say 3 or less hours before getting up for the day. If I did, then it's very likely that I'll have a dream I remember. Otherwise, I wont remember a thing (I'm assuming I dream most every night, since most people hit that brainwave state).

Now I'll have to do some research on how you can program your dreams, if at all.
