You are doing good with things that you described and like you said only thing that’s missing is technique to induce lucid dreams. From my experience only time will show if particular tech is working for you or not.
The thing is that you need to accept that there are no techniques that will work in a day or two. For example MILD won’t work because is based on mnemonic induction and memory, we need to train ourselves. WILD won’t work because we need time to adjust technique to our needs etc…
But I would suggest doing MILD and WBTB. You can always combine WILD with MILD and WBTB. Because you have time when you are waiting SP to kick in and in that time you can repeat mantra - MILD and if you don’t succeed in WILD you were still doing MILD too, right? I think I don’t need to explain WBTB because it’s logical that with waking up in the middle of the night we increase awareness which is crucial for lucid dreams.
Also you can do this tech every night before bed and I strongly suggest you do it. This tech is good for increasing awareness and DR and in general lucidity. When I was experimenting with this tech I was doing only this tech and it took me a week to get first results… Now I still do it every night just as add on technique to MILD, WILD, VILD and WBTB…
Good luck… If you have any more questions just ask!
