Try to think about any detail you still remember, your memory works by association, a single word or mental image is enough to remember a past dream

If you can't remember it now, you probably won't be able to force yourself to remember it. Your best chance is to hope you accidentally read or hear something that triggers it off. Sometimes I remember a dream from the night before I had previously forgotten while writing my dreams for last night in my dream journal.

Go through the previous day trying to find what triggered it.

Most of the time when I remember a dream I'm thinking of what was on my mind that day. I might not have even linked the day and the ideas I was having but just having the ideas a second time jogs my memory. Other times I'll have a dream that reminds me of another one I had but I couldn't think of till I was dreaming. So if it was seriously important you need to have a lucid dream and remember to think about you past dream. Should be able to do it okay in that state.

I've had this problem before because I waited too long. Here's what I suggest:

-Try very hard. Sit at a desk or table with a notebook and try to latch on to even the slightest shard that might be left in your mind. Also, you could try keeping the idea that you need to remember it in the back of your mind and then go about your day's business. It could just come to you. And then of course, you can try to think about remembering it as you go to sleep again. Hope you get it back!

It is different for everyone in this case, but for me I find it easiest to recall them by thinking about it really hard. To the point where it feels like I can grasp it but there is a thin barrier between remembering it and losing it. By that time it either comes to me, or I wait for the rest of the day and it will be triggered by something. Mainly because if I can't figure it out with my normal conscience mind I let the sub-conscience mind do the work for me and hope it helps me trigger my memory of the dream later on in the day, but that's just my two hay pennies about the subject.
