Keep a notebook and a pen next to your bed. Any time you remember a dream - even a part of a dream - write it down as soon as you wake up, every detail you can recall. At first you may only recall enough for two or three sentences, but write it down anyway. Do this every time you wake up, as soon as you open your eyes, even if you still feel groggy and half asleep (actually, you may remember more in this state).
If you make this a habit, you will very quickly begin to remember more and more of your dreams. After a few weeks, you'll be filling several pages with the epic stories you've been living in the dream world. Eventually you may find yourself recalling nearly complete screenplays.
This is very helpful advice. I began doing this recently after reading your post, and it works! However, I find that I have to write in the dark in order to recall my dreams. If I turn on the lights, I get distracted by things. And it's hard to write in the dark.
Thank you
