Hey there and welcome to the forum!

To recall your dreams, I would seriously recommend keeping a Dream Journal, as that will boost recall. And you may also want to check out the tutorials section as well!
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Welcome to the forum, man.

Well your question depends on a lot, really. What kind of sleeping patterns do you have? How much sleep a night? Are you a deep sleeper? Things like that. One thing that might help you is to check up on REM cycles; how long they last, how often they come on, things like that. If you have an alarm clock, try setting it at what would be on or toward the end of one of your REM cycles. That way, you stand a good chance of waking up during or after a dream. Couple that with the mental intention to really recall the dream, and you should be in business.
Also, and probably most importantly, most things having to deal with dreaming (as with anything psychological) can take time. Patience is crucial.

[Edit: And yeah, I second the dream journal advice. ]
