I dreamed I was a cat.
Does that mean I will one day be a cat?

There is no actual theory to what dreams are. In fact, there are only three really solid theories that people believe in.
1. Dreams are nothing. They are just neural impulses that your brain tries to make sense of with words or pictures.
2. Dreams are a way of entering you unconscious mind, seeing what you truly don't 'know'. (which was Freudian, I believe)
3. Dreams are a way of viewing and altering the past as you'd like, to ultimately fake yourself into being someone else in your dreams. Or, in laymans terms, a reflection on what you have done that day, or in the past at some point in time, and seeing what you would have otherwise wished.
Truthfully, I believe the Freudian method of dreams, that they are just a way of seeing into your unconscious. (the unconscious mind is so damned interesting!)

Then keep a dream journal.

I know what you mean, I remember nothing from when I sleep. Once I enter a sleep state, I wake up almost instantly, and remember nothing.I very rarely remember my dreams though...
There's been some research behind that too, and apparently, most people don't remember their dreams because most people aren't woken up when in REM sleep, which is where the dream process starts. If I could find an article, I'm pretty sure they'd be able to explain it better, but I'm too lazy at the moment...

Like inside my dream?
If I try to do something knowing it's a dream then I wake up instantly forgetting wtf I was doing.
Like that one time I was eating ham and I woke up to get some ketchup and realized it was a dream. Pissed me off.

No when you wake up. When you get up in the morning write your dream down. It works great.

Soon as I wake up it's gone.
