It is something I wasn't intending or expecting through meditation practice but it is as though the filter to my own mind has been lifted when I am dreaming and I am able to access insights through dreams I wasn't able to before.
These dreams have been very useful in my practical life and they seem to be helping me connect with others where they are at on their own journey.

Some years back I worked on Lucid Dreaming. Awareness is very helpful for gaining lucidity within a dream and meditation is recommended. I suppose it could help dream recall but I don't know for sure. Sounds like it has for you so I'd say that's a yes!
For me what really helped dream recall was intent and keeping a dream journal. In the course of about six months I went from recalling a few dreams a week to averaging between four & five a night including an epic dream every so often.
As far a lucid dreams I had some, but not as many as I would have thought based on the huge effort I put in. In the end I gave it up because it was interrupting my sleep cycle far too much.
