Why couldn't you have asked me this question right when I woke up? :(
Dream recall can be a nebulous thing. It is common to wake up "in the middle" of a dream where the experiences are fresh in the mind; many people try to fall back asleep to continue the dream. This generally doesn't work well. Dreams will quickly dissolve from conscious memory and leave little but a faded impression. Sometimes, though, dream recall can be triggered in part or in full at any time - be it later that day, or a week later, or years. I often get full-blown dream recall occurring after even a decade.
