It sounds like you are doing things right for recall. One thing that helps me is keeping a waking journal. I don't know if you have heard of it but basically you just write the highlights (or you can add more detail) of the days events some time before bed. If that gets too time consuming; Another thing CanisLucidus came up with is pausing every 2 hours or so during the day and just briefly spend a few seconds reviewing. This seems to help prep your mind for remembering.
Yeah it was really bizarre because I didn't really know what was happening or where I was. I will try out the waking journal and see if it helps.

Last Night

Sleep – 11:00pm
Wake up – 1:56am
Finial Wake up – 9:00am
WBTB - 5:00am-5:35am

I decided I was going to try and do a WILD last night now that my exams are out of the way. I set my alarm for 5:00am which was 6 hours into my sleep. I stayed up till 5:35am. I then attempted a WILD and it was going well. I couldn't feel most my body and I started seeing a dream being made. At fist it was just white shapes moving around but then they took the shapes of birds. I could see the birds flying around but it was quite blurry. then some ones car alarm went off out side and it shook me awake. I tried again but I got distracted in my thoughts and just fell asleep normally.

I remembered the most of 2 dreams and a few dream fragments which you can read in my dream journal. One was another nightmare that woke me at 1:56am.
