Hey guys,
So i woke up this morning and tried not to move, i thought for about a minute on what i had dreamt that night. It came to me slowly.
I dream that i was told by an unfamiliar voice not to drink alcohol under age. I responded by saying i will drink alcohol weather im under age or not and your opinion will not change my decision.
And that’s all i remember. The thing im trying to figure out is was that from a dream i had last night or was it an idea or thought that i had in my head during the day and it came to me randomly now. Because i have been told by my parents not to drink and i keep telling them i will anyways but i wont get drunk. So was this a dream or a thought? Because i dont remember any images at all if this was a dream, i just remember a voice.
With dreams being not much more than visual rather than auditory thoughts, it won’t be easy to tell the difference.
If it realy matter, it probably was either a dream or an uncontrolled thought (The thoughts you have when you are very tired and of which you have little control)
Does this mean im closer to remembering my dreams? Also, to give you a more clear description of my thought/dream, Think of it this way,
You are working on a very difficult question and thinking hard for a while, then BAM, an idea pops in your head and you get the answer. This is what happened to me this morning, it just came to me from nowhere.
I’ve been trying to remember my dreams for about a week now and apart from this i had only 1 other but it wasnt a thought, it was just a big green animated spider like you would expect to see in video games.
As TwilightDreamer said it is sometimes hard to tell dreams and thoughts apart. It might be that for a moment you slipped into a dream, if you were dozing in the morning, I think this is quite possible. So technically you would be recalling a dream in that case 
Good luck with your recall.
