I will tell you if I ever get there.
Over half my life in this hobby and still recall takes daily work. I suggest that the most important thing is remembering key words right away when you wake. Do not bother trying to commit the whole dream to memory when you wake. Just repeat a couple key words that are related over and over, or quickly write them down. Then through out your day think about why you chose those words. Do not focus in a rigid straining way. Just mentally relax and try and remember what your dream had that made you pick those words. Just try to remember like it is a normal memory from awhile ago. This teaches the brain to expect to be quizzed on the content of dreams. Eventually the brain adapts and starts committing dream material into normal memory.
