Is it possible to dislocate your wrist? My right wrist is feeling really weak, when picking DB's up sometimes is feels like its going to pop out, there is a click and pain. I have also woken in the night a couple of times recently and it feels locked.

Is there anything I can do in particular that can increase the stability of the joint?

Curls and Extensions with weight? Extensions especially if you hold a Hex DB by the end - really hard on the grip. I found using a powerball hammers the forearm and supporting muscles and you can use them for restoration too.

Yes it is possible and trust me you would know about it if you had dislocated it! I did mine about 10 years ago which brought my rugby playing to a premature end. It was a general anesthetic job to put it back and 6 weeks in plaster befor lots of largely unsuccessful physio! Im not a doctor but I would suggest that its more likely a sprain than a dislocation.
Your condition sounds more like one that was suggested to me by a very cheeky pupil at the time of my accident-'W@nkers whiplash'!

Hmm, could be, I do that alot...

Anyhow, I do not think I have dislocated it, it just feels like it could at any moment. There is no pain or swelling at anytime except if I go to pick a weight up, or twist it, then it slips in its joint and feels like it is about to come out.

Last year I damaged the tendon in my wrist, had exactly the same symptoms you are. It seems as you may have tendonitis, look it up on wikipedia.

Tendons take alot of time to recover as they do not have their own blood supply, so nutrients required to 'fix' them aren't readily available for repair.

Let us know what it turns out to be...
