No, this isn't boring at all; actually, dreams are fascinating. I liked the categories you named and will give it my best to see if I can keep track of them for awhile and see if anything is notable.
Telling myself to remember the dream is a good idea. Kind of like telling myself I just have to wake up by a certain time when I'm tired; otherwise, I might just hit the snooze button and roll over. I have my alarm clock in the 'kitchen' area of my studio, as I have to walk about 20 ft to get to it, and by then I'm much less likely to stroll back to my comfy bed.
I never knew that Mother's Day is in March over there! Well, a belated Happy Mother's Day to you!
