Hello everybody, I just joined into this forum after I learnt about this from a friend.
I have had few dreams the last few years, sometimes none in months, let alone lucid dreams. What are the first steps to getting lucid dreams?

The ones I have heard are about
1) Keeping a dream journal; however, it seems ineffective anyways, because I don't seem to have any dreams anyways. If I have dreams and I forget, I just have a gut feeling that I forgot a dream...
2) Light level; this doesn't seem to work because I usually close my door when I sleep and it's complete darkness, and I have already tried opening the door and leaving the light on when sleeping, but it didn't work...
3) Dreams occur in specific places; I have had dreams when I visit some places, when I least expect it to happen, but it seems to be random dreams...

The ones I have heard people use
1) Take pills in order to increase some level of some things in order to raise a level of something that will help with dreaming; is this really safe and good for the body? Is it really worth the dreams?
2) Come into the forum; Well, I have been part of many forums, and maybe that's the reason it doesn't affect me too much...

Any suggestions?
Sorry if I seem too much against dreaming, but please don't say you don't have any suggestions
