With LD’ing however, there is such vagueness between your own actions/ efforts, and lucidity -- including the fact that your subconscious mind is so complicated that it‘s difficult to “practice” in such black and white terms (e.g. I can’t guarantee I will LD tonight, even though I am “practicing”).

From what I’ve read however, many experienced LD’ers have apparently learned to do it themselves -- but there is definitely some type of mental state to be unlocked for sure.
Yes I totally agree with this as well. It seems nearly impossible to know what "really worked" since the effects of day/night work accumulate slowly over time, there are so many separate factors, and the fact that the subconscious is not some "input A, output B" function machine.
