When you forget parts of a dream, you can also see it as the 'TV fuzzing out' when the reception to the TV is temporarily lost, the screen goes into a gray fuzz. This could work well with the animation. By incorporating this idea into my animation, it can suggest when a dream has ended or when it turns into a nightmare. With recurring nightmares, something about the nightmare changes which causes the dreamer to surprise or scare said dreamer. So even having a gray fuzz like a TV at random could work - at random to surprise the viewer - uncanny timing.
Ok, so of course I had to bring in my favourite game being Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts :D YAAAS!! So at the beginning of the KH2 (Kingdom Hearts 2) a character's memory is being restored bit by bit. Cut scenes from previous games are shown, but every now & then it fuzzes out like a TV losing reception. This process would be backwards for dreaming as you start of with the dream as a whole (so to speak) & parts of it slowly fade away.
Here's a compilation of the game's restoration clips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOidccTB3W4
