There are a million things to do for recall rather than just "sleep more and write it down" My favorite it Micro WBTBs. Usually waking from dreams will make it easier to remember, so pick 4 or 5 different times throughout the night to wake up either by an alarm, water, or otherwise. You should see major increases in recall. If you give up on DILD, your LDing journey will be crippled.
Here is a thread about DILDs, the best I have seen.

Here is a podcast for beginners that should help you out.

Also, remembering a dream after 3 hours is like what I was talking about before. Sleep Cylce's happen in 90 minute periods with each REM Cycle getting longer and longer near the end. For someone that doesn't remember dreams, the part right after REM as they wake up is the time that they will forget that dream. If you are woken by something else, you have a high chance of remembering it. Someone that remembers their dreams knows that the feeling of waking from a dream is a disorienting time, but they don't lose it. People like me remember almost every time a REM cycle ends (you actually wake up after each REM cycle for a second or so and go back to sleep) depending on how tired they are at the time. If you are too tired it will also be a problem. Your mind doesn't like to be woken up without going through the waking process, so people that are well rested will wake up minutes or sometimes just seconds before their alarm goes off. Going through the waking process even outside of the REM cycles ending.
