Appart from good dream recall that can be achieved by making a point not to move once you have awaken until you have pulled the memories to the conscious mind (no alarm clocks here
as they are disruptive) the other fascinating thing to do is:
From time to time during daytime make a little jump, if you do this for several weeks you will soon find yourself jumping in your dreams, it will be more like flying really, if you realize you are flying tell yourself you are in a dream and you can be or do what you want. It is amazing!
You can also say to yourself that you want to go to a precise location (be wise on what you choose there are lots or weird things on the astral) before you go to sleep. Or fall to sleep by projecting mentaly where you want to go. It works

Should you choose I recomend the Maharic Shield prior to go to sleep
for safety but it is up to you
