Hey there,
There's a lot of good stuff written on dream recall all over the forum. Do a quick search on "recall" and I'm sure you'll find plenty of great tips.
Here's two quick tips though:
- Make sure you're paying enough attention to your dreams! This can sound paradoxical, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to get so focused on 'having to remember dreams' and 'having to do this and this technique', that your focus is on the idea of dream recall rather then on your dreams itself. Sometimes it helps to take a step back, just appreciate and pay attention to what you have, and not bother or stress yourself over what you feel you 'should be having' or what you don't have.
- Work with what you have. We all have this myth in our heads about what is a 'good' dream and what is a 'bad dream'. A good dream is very visual, has a theme and a plot, and preferably lasts a while. A 'bad dream' is vague and inconsistent, and we generally don't remember seeing much of it.
It's a myth. There's no such thing as a bad and a good dream. Not all dreams are visual. Some dreams are just a thought, just a feeling, just a sound. Some dreams are very intense without having a sensory element to them at all and you wake up with a strong emotion. Pay attention to these too.
Work from the ground up. Think about your dreams, write them down, don't dismiss the ones you feel don't fall within your expections. Appreciate and recognise the dream for what it is, and if possible, linger on it a while. Do that and you'll likely see your recall increase sharply again.
Hope that helps!
