Lucid Dreaming | Back after a year and a half. A few questions.

Warning long post - worth it to read :DHey everyone. I am back into lucid dreaming having not tried anything for quite some time. I have a history in my life of well.... not sticking to things, regardless of how much they mean to me or how bad I want it. Lucid dreaming has always been that awesome thing that I wish I could do but it's never been important enough to me that I wanted to invest time into it. After all, working full time, going to college, exercising, maintaining a relationship, owning animals etc takes a lot of my time, I don't have a lot to spare. I also have trouble sticking to something if I don't get good results (IE: putting in time but only getting maybe a few lucids a month) My goal is to get 3 lucids a week, which I know is very possible. Over the years I have learned a few things about my dreams - 1, The situation is always odd and never like anything ordinary in waking life, 2 is that all these awkward situations usually happen in places I've never been and my mind makes up, or in places I rarely go. I've heard that knowing your dream signs can help with making effective reality checks. Knowing these dream signs makes me think I should question my current situation and position in my day, rather than reading text or plugging my nose. Would this be effective? I am looking for a technique to stick with and not jump around like I used to. MILD relies on your intention to remember to RC in a dream. With me, when I set an intention to do something, that subconscious though is with me until it gets done. Would this be beneficial to practicing the MILD technique? As for the Visualization part of MILD I do not fair so well. My visualization skills are slim to none... I just can't see anything in my mind. Should this stray me from techniques that use visualization? As for dream journaling, I feel it is not fair to my girlfriend that every time I wake up and remember something I turn on bright lamp and begin writing XD. How can I get around this problem with dream journaling? I seek advice. What should I begin to focus on first?



For anyone who took their time to read this, I thank you.

Namaste



A little side note: My first, and most memorable LD is what still motivates me to this day. I remember the very second I got lucid, my stomach dropped, my legs got weak, and that moment of pure "Oh... my... god" the feeling of being completely aware in this world amazed me to the point that I've never lost interest. I want that feeling again.
