Before you go to sleep, intend to remember your dreams. Voice that intention if you want, repeat it to yourself in your head, have some sort of nightly physical ritual you do -- do whatever you have to do to remind yourself to remember.

Equally important, keep a dream journal. Write your dreams down as soon as you can. Don't put it off or you'll forget.

You'll find that this process is like a muscle. Exercise it, strengthen it, and the work becomes profoundly easier.

This is also the most basic step towards a lucid dreaming practice. You have to become more aware of the fact that you are dreaming in general.

Q'uo offers the same recurring advice as outerheaven.

I recall seeing some L/L channeling transcripts where some go along the line, "I am having difficulty with this contact and ask the instrument if he will simply speak without analyzing that which he receives." Similarly for dreaming, sometimes the remembering is made harder because rational analysis of a dreamer kicks in during dreaming to discount the dream by telling the dreamer, "This doesn't mean anything" or "This doesn't make any sense". The dreamer agreeing with the analysis continues to sleep, instead of recording the dream as soon as possible, and may forget some or all of the dream content by the time the dreamer wakes up.
