Practise, Practise, Practise. Try to make dream recall something that is important in your life. You need to be motivated to remember, if you see dreams as pointless you will forget them just like anything else. You must train your mind to make it important. Set goals and targets, and reward yourself for good progress.
Most importantly... keep a journal, try to write in it as soon as you wake up, and try to write down at least one dream each night. Try not to move from the position from which you wake up in before you remember something, then jot it down. I usually write bullet points which then I try to link together. Remembering dreams works like a jigsaw puzzle, rarely goes from start to finish in a nice neat line. There is some nice software called dream journal which you can download for free, which helps with motivation, but remember to take notes if you can't write up on a computer. You want to write it down as soon as you wake up or you'll lose important details. Also make sure you get a decent amount of sleep each night, and eat a healthy diet, this will help your dream recall a lot. If you are overtired it can be hard to remember. Try setting a night where you have time in the morning to take naps after you have woken up from your main part of sleep. The onset of the dreams then is much faster, and you often wake up straight from them making them easier to recall. Good Luck!
