Some really good advice from Scionox!
I have experienced this as well, but always try to write down absolutely EVERYTHING you somehow manage to remember even if it's only a feeling or one image or a person. I think that's quite important. You need to have this motivation that every morning you wake up you really WANT to write down some cool dreams. That makes the recall easier as well.
You can also try WBTB if you are not too stressed and get enough sleep. I usually set my alarm at least once per night (if I have school I set it at 4:30am which is 90 minutes before getting up). I just get up for about 5 minutes (that' enough for me) and just note some dreams and go back to bed with my heightened awareness and the intention to have a lucid dream and remember some more dreams the next time I'll wake up.
