Then you can decide if there is anything in the dream worth keeping and whether to write any of it down. Dreams are all symbolic of what your life is, so everything in the dream is some aspect of you acting out. This also helpful to remember if you have nightmares. When you dream you are very close to being conscious, so when you start watching your dreams you are more aware that you are dreaming while you sleep. Pushing up to awareness that little extra bit ends the bad dream.
Creativity is also a giving.
The truth is that unless you are already famous, nobody is really very interested in your life or how you are making your way in it. If they tell you they are they are just being polite. People are mainly only interested in their own lives and look for anything that will help them. The best songs are those that help people see and define their own hopes and dreams. This is why love songs are always in demand.
