deric:

When you can remember that you dreamed but can't think of a single image, feeling I find it helps to go thru lists:
like: Car, Bike, Train, Bus, Plane, Boat if it doesn't work go thru another Cat, Dog, Horse, Bug, Bird and another House, Apartment, Work Cube, Restaurant, Stadium

as many lists as you can until you remember something, for me this works most of the time, you'll suddenly remember you were eating in a restaurant or that you saw a bug crawling along a wall, or you were waiting in a crosswalk for a bus to go past. Then you try to remember more, I find it works best if you are lying still with your eyes closed, be convinced you were just somewhere, doing something and don't give up until you at least get some idea of the dream, even if all you get is vague something to write down anything, one you start writing sometimes more will come back or even flood back
