I think it's now just a matter of effort and patience to bring your dreams back. The long no-dreaming period got you used to living without considering your dreams. Redrivertears hit the nail on the head with the advice to *pay attention* to your dreams. Why does journaling help build recall? It's because you are giving your dreams your attention, and practicing recalling them. Doing that on a constant basis shows your SC that dream memories are important to you. The more you exercise your dream memory access in recalling dreams, the stronger this ability will become.
The second part to dream recall is to pay attention to your life experiences in the waking state. Our dreaming mind is basically our waking mind with an extra layer of fog, dullness, and impaired access to memory. You need to build a bright/strong waking awareness to pierce through this veil of fog in the dream state. If you live waking life on autopilot, your dreams will be the same. We only remember things to which we give our attention. Train your attention, focus, awareness, and access to memory in the waking state, and your dreaming life will blossom again. You can also have a read through of my dream recall tips (link in my sig) for more ideas.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
