If you still want to improve your recall, here's my suggestion: keep a notebook beside your bed. When you wake up, jot down your impressions. "Woke up, remember only blackness, plus a few swirly lights. Had a feeling there was some sort task I had to do, don't remember more. I'm feeling tired/well-rested/lethargic." This will get you in the habit of retrieving memories from your sleep cycle, something that humans don't naturally do.

I said four weeks as an offhand remark, but you really do need to work on improving dream recall for some time before you start complaining that the techniques don't work. Also, there is no set list of clear instructions, because everyone learns differently.

Either do it the hard way, like everybody else, or feel free to GTFO.

My response to him would have been much ruder. People who ask for instructions shouldn't be rude about any possible instructions that they receive, what an idiotic thing to do.
