Hey, welcome
When do you record your dreams? Just when you wake up in the morning? I recommend for building recall that you keep a piece of paper and pen by your bed, make sure in the middle of the night that you wake up and jot down whatever comes to you. You do wake up, you just don't remember it. One thing you might want to try is, if you go to bed at say midnight, set an alarm for five in the morning. When you wake up naturally in the middle of the night, you'll remember that annoying alarm set up to go off in a few hours, and so you'll be motivated to get out of bed. Try to use this motivation to keep awake, jot down some dream notes, and then turn the alarm off and go to bed. Even if that doesn't work, the alarm will go off at 5 am, waking you up and hopefully getting you some more dream fragments. The hardest thing about dream recall is being dedicated enough to write down your dreams, even if you're incredibly exhausted.
When you do wake up in the morning, try to do it calmly and give yourself some time to recall the dream before getting up and moving. If you can set a soft alarm, then have another alarm as backup (so that while you're recalling your dream you don't doze off again), you should be in a good spot.
Besides that, keep up your efforts. If possible, talk about your dreams during the day. Even if it's to say 'man I had the weirdest dream that there were talking turnipis. Aren't dreams crazy?' to someone else. Dream recall and lucid dreaming are just like any other skill- for those of us who don't have the crazy natural talent, we have to put in effort and hardwork. Just keep working away steadily and you should start seeing results. Don't expect things to happen overnight, but realize that in due time, your efforts will pay off!
