hello Gaius, welcome to the LD4all community 
The good thing about having had a few LDs in the past is you know you can become lucid 
so you don’t have that tiny doubt in your mind if it takes a while to start having LDs 
We have a big remembering dreams topic in the stuff dreams are made of forum [LINK], I’m sure you will get a few tips to improve your recall from that thread. 
Keeping a DJ and laying still for 5 minutes or so when you first wake (to allow yourself to recapture those dream memories before they vanish) make a big difference. 
I hope you enjoy your time on the forum.
