lucid dreaming is a natural thing for our brain, there is no need to force or feel like you NEED to LD. the feeling should be more of an expectation.
I would say, start from nothing. Just do as much dream recall as possible and then add MILD. The feelings of expectation must be strong. Remember your dreams and how they feel, use that feeling before you sleep to tell yourself you will be lucid. Do that and maybe some WBTB or WILD. No pressure, no force, just expectation and flow.
Also buy stephen laberge's book on lucid dreaming, it has the ultimate beginners guide.
