Needing some help with recall

[blacksmid]

I and my friend are trying to learn how to LD, but we both have like no recall at all. We can recall 1-2 dreams/week if we're lucky. We're both getting waked by an alarm, would that effect our recall ability? I don't sleep very much as well, i sleep from 0:00 to 7:00, my friend sleeps a bit longer though.

Have you been keeping a dream journal? That's pretty much an almost certain way to get your recall ability up. In the morning, dedicate a few minutes to thinking about your dreams, before you start thinking about your day and what you plan to do or getting ready. Just lie in bed (if you're able to without falling back asleep.) It helps if you lie in the same position you were sleeping in, and spend a few minutes trying to remember any dreams you had. If you only remember fragments, think about those fragments and see if they remind you of anything else about the dream. Then write whatever you remembered down, in a notebook or on the computer, whatever is easiest for you. Within a few days of doing this, you'll probably be remembering a lot more.

Oh, sorry, i forgot to mention that we both keep dream journals, but since we both have loads of trouble remembering dreams they are quite empty.

Even if you don't remember dreams, most people wake up with a feeling. Write that down. How you feel when you wake up and stuff like that. The couple of times you do remember dreams, write them in as much detail as possible

Well i don't really wake up with a feeling either :\, i still think it's because of the alarm, since i remember my dream(only 1 yet) in the weekends. thanks for your help anyways.
