I first go over dreams mentally, until I can build up and remember well a list of key words representing all the scenes I remember, then (optionally) I voice record notes during the night, as much detail as I want to (typically just key words these days), and do full write-ups in the morning, referring to the voice notes if necessary. Funny thing is that the more I do this, the less and less I need to refer to the voice notes during the full write-up. The key part is the mentally going over and over the memories right after waking, until you feel like they're well-established in your longer-term memory. Reach for dream recall *every* *single* *time* you find yourself awake, and you'll have great recall soon. The more important recall is to you, the better the recall you'll build.
I'd say the place to start with is focus on recall, then work on adding in daytime awareness work and nighttime WBTB/(all the *-ILDs: MILD, WILD, DEILD, etc.). My tips on building recall: FryingMan's Dream Recall Tips
