Hey there,
Several more suggestions:
- Make sure you get enough sleep. An exhausted body leads to very deep sleep, which makes dream recall harder
- Make sure you wake up in a calm, silent enviroment. If your kids or your dog wake you every morning, or a radio with a newscaster making announcements, your mind will immediately be kickstarted into paying attention to your waking surroundings again, and this will make remembering dreams much harder.
- On that same vein, many people wake up and immediately start thinking about their day 'today I have to do this, I cant forget to do this, oh tonight I have to go there'. Teach yourself not to do this. Delay thinking about your day until your out of bed. In bed, think about dreams instead.
- Don't try too hard! It sounds paradoxically, but you can get so hung up on trying to remember you're dreams, that you're actually focussed on 'remembering your dreams', rather then focussed on your dreams themselves. Relax, clear your mind, let the dreams come naturally.
- If nothing comes, try thinking of previous dreams, see if there are recurring elements in the dreams you do remember. If there are recurring elements, maybe you dreamt about these things tonight to. It can help recover a memory.
- Be patient. Work with the dreams you do recall. And appreciate dreams for what they are themselves. If you're looking at them simply as a means to get lucid, you're not really paying attention to your dreams, anymore then you're paying attention to the tool in your hand while you're trying to fix a car. Be interested in your dreams, even the normal non lucid ones.
Anyways, just some suggestions from the top of my head. Hope it helps!
