This is going to be odd advice but please give it a try anyways.
Do the dream journal process regardless. It is totally fine to wake up, take out the dream journal, write "I had no dreams" and the date and call it an entry.
Try it, ideally two weeks, but give it at least ten days.
There's a really good (but not 100%) chance you do have dreams but just really don't recall them - but you may start to capture fragments by attempting to describe them first thing.
And it really does have to be first thing. Before you play with your phone or brush your teeth. As soon as you can move, grab and start writing.
Oh, I have tried. I know that other people dream, so I've been curious if I could somehow make myself remember, but there is nothing there to remember. It has always been a complete blank from the instant I fall asleep to the instant I wake up.
