This is just another confirmation of trying too hard does more harm than good. If you want it too much you will fail, you need to have a passive attitude.
My point is that you shouldn't put your trust in techniques and methods but in yourself, because there are actually just two techniques Direct entry and indirect.
So choose one or both and just go with it.
Instead of thinking "I am going to have a lucid dream tonight" or "OMG I want a lucid dream so badly tonight" and so on just think "I know what a lucid dream is let's get to sleep" LOL.
Let it become a natural thing, you don't even have to write down all your dreams just recall them mentally in your head and remember how it FELT, because when you know your feeling of awareness it will be easier to notice it without doing reality checks and dream journals. Because this will be your dream awareness and reality check at the same time!
And don't count your lucid dreams or weeks and so on be in the moment not in the past or the future. Of course you should do what you want but try to recognize the things that makes you stressed or frustrated. And in my experience those are the things that made me stressed.
And while going to sleep, don't think about tomorrow or yesterday think about the NOW. Put all your problems aside and focus on your breath and what thoughts that come to mind and practice meditation, but fail the meditation and fall asleep while doing it! Just have the mindset of "There is a new night tomorrow".
Good luck! (If you have any other question go ahead )
