I would suggest you clear your mind and start with a clean slate.

Basically, there are only two main techniques.

WILD - learning the basics, as well as the whole process is essential. The timing (WBTB or nap), your frame of mind, daytime awareness are important.

DILD - for this technique, RCs+emotions are essential, as are mantras and daytime awareness.

And get ready for DEILD.

Re-read the tutorials in DV academy and Wiki.
WILD (sageous)
DILD (DV and gab)
DEILD (dutchraptor)

Work on your dream recall if needed. Read all the tutorials but pick only one method for at least a month or two. Put your head into it, get excited and motivated by reading DV and DJs. Good luck
