Hello Dream_Weaver,
first of all welcome to the forum!
I think starting a DJ is a really good beginning. Write down all the details, emotions and Dream Characters that you notice. Just everything you remember. When you have some dreams ( maybe 10-12 ) read them again and start looking for DreamSigns. Maybe you´re always dream about the school or flying pink elephants. So everytime you you´re in school or see flying pink elephants 
IRL you make a RC ( like pinching your nose and look if you still can breath, try to put your hand through a wall etc. ). When you´re lucky the next time you dream about the school you will do a RC and get lucid.
Make RC´s every time you see something weird. Make them 10 to 20 times a day.
What technique to choose is hard to say…It depends on the person. Look at this topic maybe you can find a tech that fits for you:
[How to Choose Your Technique)
Hope that helps a bit…If you got further questions just ask there´s always somebody who can help you.
Good luck on your quest for Lucid Dreaming!
