Keeping a dream journal is a classic one, just write your dreams first thing when get up in the morning. Then there’s methods, an easy one is reality checks for example if you can breathe through a pinched nose, break laws of physics or have really weird hands/whatever versus normally it’s a good chance you’re in a dream. Do note dreams are ruled by expectations if you expect xyz you will get xyz.
When I really want to put effort into LDing I keep a scrap of paper like a receipt etc (or I guess a phone would work) and I just scrawl my memories first thing on waking up on that then transfer to a dream journal if I feel like it.

Gotcha. I had a dream journal but I keep forgetting to write in it lol, same goes for reality checks.
