I have just recently decided to start my quest for lucid dreams and am fully intent on focussing on it for as long as i need to. I know the first step is to improve dream recall so that's what my focus is on for the time being.

Its just that right now my dream recall is literally nothing. I haven't remembered a dream for a good few years, I've had a dream journal (well a blank one) waiting right beside my bed for about 4 days now but every time i wake up i remember absolutely nothing. I don't know if it's because i don't think about it enough before dismissing it or if it's because I usually move instantly after waking or it could be something else entirely. Lots of places say to look back on earlier entries to start the mind thinking about dreaming, but the problem is i dont have any other entries to look back at.

Anyways some good tips for improving my recall would be very appreciated, hope i dont sound like im rambling. Thanks
