What people normally suggest is lying still when you wake up, and not changing your position. Stops the dreams getting dislodged and falling out apparently :-). If you can only seem to remember what happened when you woke up, try gradually thinking backwards, remembering what happened before you woke up, then before that, etc.
I would add that if I try to remember as soon as I wake up, its still quite easy to forget about it again, especially if I fall asleep again (either lying in in the morning or if I wake in the night). You might not want to write in a dream journal every time you wake up. I find I can remember better if I describe the dream to myself in English rather than just reliving it. Either as if you were talking to yourself, or pretending to make notes on paper - you could even type it up in your head. When I try to recall it later on, I tend to remember my description first and that acts like a key.
P.S. Welcome to DV. I think we should have a special DV welcome. I used to read the Ornery American debate forum a lot, and they reply to newcomers with "Welcome to Ornery, you are wrong" :-D.
