IIRC, you forget 80% of your dreams 5-7 minutes after you wake up.
Which, if true, would explain why you only think you had 200 or so...
In my defense, I rarely take naps. So I probably have 365-380?

In my defense, I rarely take naps. So I probably have 365-380?
However, you have dreams quite often. Unless you're less than 3, you should have more dreams than that. You probably just can't remember.
