Sure there are lots of ways to get back those cool dreams. Try starting a dream journal to record your dreams when you wake up. You actually DO dream every night it's just that most of the time we forget. So also setting your alarm to go off sometime while you are in REM will wake you up and you can remember that dream very vividly and write it down in your journal. Once you have enough stuff in your journal you will notice certain similarities, or dream signs...that will eventually be used to trigger lucidity.

So first...start a dream journal
Second...recognize common themes in your dreams (talking to people, being naked in class, driving off a cliff, etc...they are different for everyone)
Third...do a reality check everytime you are presented with one of your dream signs. Say one of your dream signs is a tornado...if you were sitting watching a TV show about a tornado...do a reality check! That's just a tiny example though. There are tons of reality check techniques out there and a bunch of info on the forum if you care to do a search
