So I was listening to the Lucid Sage podcast which touched on the overwhelming nature of the sheer amount of information and lucid dreaming techniques out there. The host said he wanted everyone to stop with all the MILD/WILD/DILD/DIELD etc for now and just stick to writing dreams down for a while. I have definitely felt the effects of this in my attempts to attain lucidity. I have been practicing for 6-7 weeks now and managed to achieve 1 lucid dream and general dream recall via journaling.

Should this be a patient approach and built up slowly before trying the formal techniques or should we be trying different techniques straight away untill we achieve lucidity?
