We typically remember things the way we expect them to be based on a wide set of expectations. In the case of DMT, especially for newcomers, those sets of expectations tend to be so poor and inaccurate based on very limited experience. In the case of a movie, if you're recalling a bedroom scene for example, you have certain expectations about what you would have seen in that bedroom such as a bed, a night table with a lamp, etc...you have words to label things throughout the room and as such you can recall them more easily; with DMT there are few labels, often no clue of what is really going on, and of the expectations you create, it perpetually demolishes them, so recalling hyperspace can be a bit of a feat. Suffice to say it gets easier with more experience.
This.
I will not comment on the dose high stuff per se, as who knows what the OP even means by this. This is so very relative.
What I will say... as someone who has done week long aya fasts more than a few times, is that nobody ever remembers even a decent fraction of anything. You can practice and practice until you develop pretty impressive recall, but it only seems that way in comparison. As with dreams, remembering even 5% can seem extraordinary... but only because typical recall is more along the lines of .05% or so.
If you wanna dose high... go ahead. Just do your homework, prepare your space, take precautions, enlist a sitter, you know the drill. Don't do anything stupid. If you are a teenager, or a fairly young adult, I advise you to slow way down. Way way down. There is no rush to get anywhere. What often seems interminably slow and lame to young people is still rather too quick in reality.
It is not until you have had a few dozen people you cared about locked up, in mental hospitals or 6ft under that you come to understand the true magnitude of your new hobby.
So, yeah. What Global said.
You remember nothing of your waking life... a tiny fraction of nothing of your dream life... and a similarly tiny fraction of your psychonautic voyages. The best you can hope to do is increase these percentages. Remember... going from .05% to .1% is already double. Once you start remembering infinite things... this can be truly mind blowing as you are able to recall what seem to be multiples of infinity.

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." ~ Buddha
