I'm waking up at 4 in the morning and using MILD and hoping for a DILD. (: It's kinda useless without dreams though, eh? Haha. Oh well. This too shall pass.
No problem. We all have to repair our dream recall from time to time. First, make sure you are getting plenty of sleep. The longer REM periods in the early morning are where you usually get your best, most vivid dreams. (And most lucid dreams!)

Assuming that you are keeping up with your dream journal, my go-to dream recall repair technique is Mastermind's Day Journal strategy http://www.dreamviews.com/f15/if-you...ams-try-93005/. It really helps raise your general level of awareness throughout the day and you'll find your dream recall at night improving as well. Every time I hit a recall rut, I do this. Rut's over.

As for autosuggestion, here's one thing that you can try. Go to sleep thinking about how vivid and memorable your dreams are. Get excited about them. If you keep a written dream journal, write a couple of sentences about what vivid, interesting, and meaningful dreams you have. If you do not keep a written dream journal, perhaps a mantra to this effect could work.

But my best advice is to try out that day journal! It works wonders.
