If I have difficulty remembering dreams on waking I have found the following technique works most of the time :

I sit up in my bed with my eyes open and move my eyes from side to side. I keep my head still but look up to the top left corner for a second or two. Then look up at the top right corner for a second or two and continue until some image or trigger from the dream jumps into my head. It usually works quite well and I only need to do it for 30 seconds at most. Once I have found an anchor to the dream and start writing it down the rest falls into place.  This works for remembering other things and not only dreams.

Sometimes however if this doesnt work and I have no recollection of the dream I find that the memory of the dream is sometimes triggered through the day by something someone says or something I see triggering a feeling of Déjà vu.

From the author:

Dreams follow an emotional pattern. Unless a dream plot is disrupted by external influences such as sounds, every dream begins with what the inner self loves, continues in the early-middle section with what is desired, proceeds in the late-middle with what is undesirable, and ends with what is hated. Some dreams might seem to have happy endings, but the dream plot in such instances is conveying an unrealistic “happiness” which the inner self would hate. I’ll add that Freud was partly correct: dreams can contain wish fulfillment, but only in the first half of dreams.
