Welcome!
I'm pretty certain that you will be amazed by the results of your Dream Journal. If you record your dreams consistenly, then the Dream Journal will be your best friend. Your dream recall will improve and your dreams become much more vivid. Drean Journals are just amazing
Oh yea, unable to remember awesome dreams... always a bad thought. I often know that there was a really cool dream and even though I have this one feeling about it (which I also note in my DJ) I simply can't recall the whole dream.... that can be really annoying at times.
Anyway... I'm sure you will find great stuff on DV that will help you accomplishing all your goals.

Good luck and sweet dreams.
