Welcome back.
Yup, GuitarShot is right. Dream Journaling is really important for anyone that doesn't have the natural ability to recall dream. Something else I would also strongly suggest is when you wake up, don't think about the day ahead or anything, for that matter. Let your train of thought just kinda lul back into that almost-asleep phased. For some reason, it really helps recall. If you have any more questions, do post them!
