"Why do humans not have the ability to understand dreams?"

I'm not sure if humans don't have the ability to understand dreams. But, at the same time, I am not saying they do. I personally think that most dream interpretation is a bunch a bologna. I don't feel like it is an art or a real science, dream interpretation. So, in that sense we have the ability to understand what our dreams mean. However, some dreams can be really intense in images, images that might not make a whole lot of sense. In that case I feel like we may not be able to understand what our dreams are telling us. And, maybe we aren't suppose to all the time.

Question: Why do you think we remember certain dreams, and not others? I for instance, have not remembered a dream for many years.
