Nice to have some other "chronologically challenged" dream enthusiasts around, welcome!
Now I have to focus back on MINE! Do any of you ever have periods where you just don't remember them? What works best for you?
Yes, I've found that my recall waxes and wanes on a fairly reliable cycle. Recall is additionally very sensitive to mental state -- being relaxed, stress-free, and well-rested is really important. Best for recall is to continue to lie quietly, without moving, and reach for dream memories immediately upon realized you've woken up. I find my recall is worst when my mind is stuck on waking life worries or problems, when my first thought upon waking is right away going back to those worries. Being able to keep you mind on dreaming while in bed, and put off waking life issues to after having gotten up out of bed, can be very helpful.
I have a list of dream recall tips I put together a while back, maybe you'll find something useful there: FryingMan's dream recall tips
