I strongly recommend wiring each morning in the DJ. It is the most effective tool for beginners, and not only. I started with writing in the DJ and as far as I can remember, yes I got my first LD in less than a month. Using it even further for a whole year, the DJ even gave me lucidity sparks each night. But then I ran into the trouble of not know which was a LD or FLD. I believe that do be a personal case, as most people don’t have many FLD’s in their lives.
So, I suggest you start writing in the DJ. Once you get to feel how it’s like to be lucid and thus you gain some experience, you can jump into even harder ways of achieving lucidity: methods. (Especially WILD and DEILD).
I gave up using the DJ due to lack of time for writing in it. That was around december last year when I began looking for other, quicker ways for having LD’s. Now I’m into methods (DEILD especially), which is, I have to say, pretty hard to achieve. (Worked after 3 months of practice.)
Anywaaays, as I’m beginning to slip off the subject, I really think you should read this. It’s where I stared off a year ago .
Good luck !
