Many people think they can't visualize, but if you can remember the layout of your home or any other environment you can visualize. Don't worry if the images are not 100% crystal clear. That only happens in the deeper stages of consciousness. Practice "remembering" the way something looks while relaxing deeply in the space between waking and sleeping. It will get more and more vivid the more you practice.
And everybody dreams every night, several times a night (provided they go to sleep), the best way to remember those subtle memories is to do your best to wake up very slowly. Alarm clocks are NOT conducive to this process. And if you remember any little details of a dream as you come out of sleep, condense whatever you remember down to a single word and focus on that word and remember it into full consciousness. You can use it as a trigger to open your mind back to those dream memories, like keeping a door slightly open with your hand before it closes and locks shut.
Usually a few keywords will allow you to recall large chunks of an involved dream memory.
And of course, keeping a regular dream journal over time to will sharpen your memories (I know you already said you were trying this).
