I have dreams all the time, and a lot of them I don't remember, I just know I had a dream. Usually when I am very active both physically and mentally I tend to dream more. Yes, immediately write down your dream when you wake up, and if you are having trouble just having a dream, try reading a book you are very interested in before you go to bed to exercise your mind. Dreams are just brain activity during sleep, so if your brain is active just before sleep, you will be more likely to dream. If you are looking for a good website on dreams try this one:

Learning to remember your dreams is possible. At first you won't remember everything. I don't think we ever remember all of our dreams anyway. I'm working on creating a site about dreaming, because this subject has just recently become a concern of mine. The first step to remembering your dream actually takes place before you go to sleep. You pray to God (or whatever God you follow), and ask him to help you remember your dream. You may have to ask him several times throughout the day. Just simply say "Lord, I've never remembered my dreams, and I know that you give advice and guidance through the symbols in the dreams. I was hoping you would give me some advice tonight on my life through my dream." Then take a piece of paper or a notebook and place it beside your bed. In the morning write down anything you remember from your dream, and write down what you did before you went to sleep, and how you felt when you woke up... whatever is going on your life affects the meanings of the symbols in your dreams... and no two people have the same precise meaning for any symbol. But the first step is to simply work at remembering it, think hard, even if its just a feeling. Sometimes I'll remember a part about a dream I had three weeks later, because something in my environment triggers the lost memory. By the way I offer free dream interpretation through my e-mail, which is just a link from one of my mystical pages, no charge, and no selling anything. But just like words in communication dreams can be misunderstood too. The trick to really fully understanding them is to ask God to help you understand the dream. Outside help is okay, but just remember where the message comes from in the first place.

A few years ago I read about this guy who had invented a device that would fit over your eyes, sort of like a a mask, and it would monitor your eye movement. After sensing a number of minutes of REM it would send a small shock to wake you up. Sounded like a good idea. But you probably don't won't to go that far. Find you a good book on dreams and it should give you some tips for remembering dreams or even waking up during them.

I have never had trouble remembering my dreams, but I have heard of a technique that supposedly works in cases like yours. After you lie down for sleep and close your eyes, give yourself a few minutes to become relaxed. When you feel as relaxed as possible, begin to think thoughts that are as though your dreams are a person, and you are talking to that person. Think, "Dreams, you are important to me. Come to me. Let me remember you, and I will cherish you and try to learn from you. I will take you seriously and try to understand you." Be sincere when you think these thoughts. I have read that if you do this over the course of several days, you will begin to remember dreams.

If you think about something before you go to bed, it increases the likelihood that you will dream about it. Then, to remember it, keep a journal next to your bed and as soon as you wake up, immediately write down everything you can remember. Apparently with practice you will be able to remember your dreams.

You'd have to keep a pen and pad by your bed so that as soon as you wake up from the dream you can jot down any details you remember before they vanish. I take trazadone to help me sleep and they give you awesome vivid dreams that seem real and its usually based on something I've done that day or just watched on tv. Plus I remember everything when I wake up.

This sounds stupid but i tryed it and it actually worked for me. If you can, face your bed towards a doorway or a window so when you sit up in your bed your looking almost directly at it. When I did this i had trouble waking up because my dreams were so intense that i had to change my bedroom back around.
also drink milk before bed.
