I've been keepinga journal of the dreams I have but for about 2 weeks I can't remember any, and I am waking up staying still and trying to remember but usually nothing comes back to my mind.

The journal is always a good idea. You only remember dreams you wake up from, so that's some food for thought. Have you been only sleeping lightly? For example, light from tv screens, laptops, computers, and cell phones can impact you getting a restful sleep. www.marksdailyapple.com/how-light-affects-our-sleep/You might want to try going to bed earlier, and shutting all electronics down earlier.

You are on the right track with the journal. I can recommend a few things to experiment with, to see what method works best for you (each of us is unique in terms of triggers):
1. Create a special area for dream work. This can be a bed-side table, or an area you've designated that you can see from your bed. This area will be for placing your journal, and visual triggers. Ideally you want an object you focus on before you go to sleep, so when you see it in your dream you can realize you are dreaming and adjust accordingly to do the work you set out to do.
2. Write in your journal BEFORE you go to sleep. In example, if you want to achieve something specific in your dream, write about it in as much detail as you can manage.
3. Write in your journal as soon as you awaken, even before you go to the bathroom. Jot down as much that comes to mind, don't over think it, or try to remember every detail of the dream. Just what you can recall immediately once you awaken.
4. Compare notes between what you wrote down before you went to sleep and what you remember from your dream.
This is a start to practice with lucid dream states. Once you get this down pat, and can accomplish lucid states on command - then you can really get to work.

If you think its distracting your sleep patterns, you might opt for a night-light. I have one in my bathroom. It's very dim, but bright enough for me to see if I wake up during the night to use the bathroom.
