Thread: I always get results at first but it all dries up. Help.

Have you considered that "change of routine" is what causes your lucidity, rather than it being a "good start, horrible pace" cycle?
Perhaps the change from one technique to another makes the "routine" new for your waking/dream self and this in itself triggers DILDs. In which case I would recommend a technique where you change routine every 2 weeks or so in order to maintain that feeling of novelty.

Also, as OneUpBoy said it also depends on how long you stick to each technique. While there is an initial good streak, for that to keep going (More like to regain it) you will need to stay with the technique for months to come, maybe longer depending on what exactly you are doing.
