I'm not asking how to increase recall, but does anyone have a method that starts recall quicker?

After waking up, almost 100% of the time my brain says "you didn't dream". Then I rest and then my brain says "remember this piece of a dream" and the rest starts to come.

But it can even be a painful experience trying to recall.

Is there a relaxation technique? What do you do to initiate recall?

Sometimes I try to just remember people and it helps.
