The biggest factor in getting the timing right is how regular your sleeping patterns are. If you're going to bed and getting up at different times every day. If you go to sleep late on one day, or have really tired yourself out that day you'll get less REM sleep that night, and then you'll have rebound effect where you get an extended REM period the next.
Whenver I woke up during the nigth after a dream, I wrote the time I woke next to my entry in my dream journal. If you do this along with recording the time you went to bed and time you woke up, after a while you'll start to see patterns of periods when you have more dreams adn when you have less. Its not 100% perfect match as like I said above it depends on how tired you are, how much sleep you've had lately etc, but it will give you an idea when you're most likely to be in dream periods on any given night.
