Finwitch:

It does indeed. Harry also begins to forget many of his scar-brought
dreams... And there's the caged dream at the beginning of CoS. Both
show what's going on, but the Turban-dream was obscure. What of the
Flying Motorcycle - a dream Harry DID remember? Was it a dream OR a
memory of his Flight to the 4 Privet Drive - as well as predicting
Hagrid's arrival later?

This dream-issue follows up with the Divination. Tea-leaves. (Harry's
prediction was correct; it came true when Ron got his 'Scabbers back')
- but particularly Trelawney's issued homework: Dream Diary.

We might also remember that most of Harry's visions - those of
Voldemort, with his scar hurting - have been TRUE.

It might be that Harry has Seer-abilities, that come as dreams to him.
His mistreatment over the Motorcycle Dream may have prompted him to
forget those without his scar hurting... 

Hmm-- is this somehow linked to Neville forgetting things like
passwords, books and such?

I think Harry has Seer-abilities, and if he has a dream that's not a
clear vision he forgets it. He just doesn't realise it yet - (and with
Hermione's attitude on Divination, she's not helping) - but I think
that in later books, Luna may do so. Or Neville. (who's sleeping in
the same dorm). Or whoever gets Harry out of Privet Drive in HBP.
