I find that just taking time to record a dream is enough, at least for me, to remember the dream later on during the day.
My dream recall was awful before. I would wake up remembering nothing. My nights were simply stretches of black. I improved my recall somewhat recently and Ive been having results. The other day I remembered two dreams, one when I woke up after 6h of sleep and another after my WBTB 3h of sleep later.
Btw, at the beginning, I had much more success with recall when I would do a WBTB. Somehow, I find that long sleep (5h and up, I'd say) numbs my memory and thus makes dreams harder to remember. WBTB is the perfect solution to this problem.
Anyway, to get back on point, I would suggest you keep trying to remember your dreams upon waking. I find it rather hard not to drift off to sleep right after waking up, especially during the night, but I've also found that if you truly want to stay awake and that you force yourself, without moving ofc , you can, and that gives you time to recall.
I use a handwritten DJ but the notes I take during the night are mere key points to complex dreams and that is enough for me to remember the rest of my dream and be able to elaborate in my DJ later.
Determination is essential to this whole recall business. Nights that I really want to remember, I do. Other nights just pass by like all my other dreamless nights before. Recently I've started remembering dreams on random nights because I'd listen to the Subliminal Recall mp3 (you can find it in lucid aids) just before going to sleep.
Anyhow, I recommend the Subliminal Recall mp3 as well as a few WBTBs and I hope you will get at least a few good dreams to record and get you into the whole recall/record state of mind.
Hope you make progress soon.
Happy Dreaming
