got any ideas or tecnuqes i should try?

and how many hours into sleep should i set my alarm clock to wake me if i want to use that tecnique?

your dream recall will naturally be fuzzy on the weekends. I barely recalled last night and i don't remember the night before at all. Just set your alarm so you get a reasonable amont of sleep (I like 7-8 hours) and get that much consistently.

It seems like going through the WILD stages before you go to sleep, but not keeping your mind active, works. Dreaming seems to come much more easily during the night, and it's easy to recall.
