Hey Bradley, welcome.

You're doing everything right so far. Keep logging all of your dreams, and your recall will improve astronomically. Understand that this process takes some time. The good news is, because of the fact that you're so excited, I think you have an improved chance of spontaneously becoming lucid in a dream.

I'd really like to emphasize what LDleader said- There are thousands of techniques that work differently for everyone. When I first started, I struggled so much with getting lucid, especially when WILDing and I was following a lot of techniques to the tee. Ultimately, I ended up developing my own techniques, some of which were quite contradictory to what I had been taught. Do whatever makes you comfortable. I would generally advise sticking to the most well-known methods for now, and then adapt them as you gather more experience. Good luck!

Cheers
