normally i fall asleep with my ipod on because i fall asleep easier but sometimes when im more tired i dont use it. when i have my ipod on i dont have any dreams except for maybe one a month but when i dont use my ipod to fall asleep i'll have about 3 to 5 dreams a night. i know that we all have dreams every night and that we only remember some but why is it that when im not using my ipod i "remember" a lot more dreams?
You are dreaming and when not using the iPod you are waking and remembering.
When wearing and listening to the iPod, you are not waking and the music is replacing the dream info in your brain. Thus, you have had it literally erased and can't remember. [ AskJR's advice column | Ask AskJR A Question ]

At the end of each 1.5 hour sleep cycle, there is a chance you wake up(you don't usually remember waking). If you sleep lightly, you will almost always wake up, if you sleep heavily, you will almost never wake up. If you wake up, you will remember the dream more readily for that cycle. That's why you dream more when you sleep in really late on weekends(you sleep lightly), and why you usually have a dreamless sleep when you go to sleep very tired.
