i will add:
     * Take time to organize thoughts before bed
i don't think i have ever done this well before, and i am sorely lacking in this.... well... off we go!

--------------------------

below are items i have done, tried to do, or flirted with...

for me, recall is all about intent followed by action.  the following are ways i have had better success rates:
  • lead an interesting waking life.  for me, nothing can kill recall more than just having the "same ol' dreams".  it is hard to remember details or even instances of a dream of a "typical day".  i have more varied (and hence more clear recall) dreams when i have inspiration from waking life and life outside my norm.
  • think about dreaming often during previous day / reading about new techniques, etc.
  • go to sleep by 10:30 (well rested).
  • always keep a pen and paper nearby.
  • when awaking spontaneously, do not go right back to sleep... just think about what just happened to you, and if some thought hits you, jot it down right away.
  • always RC right before jotting.  i can't tell you how many times i have FA'd into a false jot.  you finally awake and have nothing written, although you swear you wrote it down!
  • don't wake up too fast!
  • if all else fails, once starting your day, perform free-association with random words.  i seem to have better success rates with free-association than forcing it with an active search.
