Newbie - no dream recall.

[Rovman]

Ok so this is my first post, I've been browsing these forums and others for a long time now and the idea of lucid dreaming is something that I find very interesting. However, I have a pretty big hurdle to overcome which is why I decided to finally post. From what I gather, good dream recall is the first step and that is where my problem lies. I have no dream recall whatsoever!, I cannot remember a single time in my life where i have actually recalled a dream (which is kinda lame). Everything I have read suggests the way to improve it is to keep a dream journal... except my dream journal is blank. I wake up in the morning and I've got nothing. Keeping a dream journal is something i'd like to do, but any ideas how I can kickstart the process? Maybe I'm a lost cause, I dunno. Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated
