Don't worry, even pro's get totally blank nights, and even week long dry-spells. It's natural.

Keep on dreaming!
More sleep does not have anything to do with recall except for the fact you can enter another REM period and have a longer more vivid dream that you may or may not remember.

The thing is that you dream every night and normally about 5 times. REM periods are when you normally have the best dreams and they occur about 15 minutes apart. Later in the night (or into the time your sleeping) is when the longest and most vivid dreams occur.

The way to remember all these dreams is to start a dream journal and your recall will start to go up.
