Motivation, Intent and Awareness are the most important things that will get you lucid. So good job on keeping yourself motivated.
I would also suggest to write downo your list of "to do" things in a lucid. Believe it or not, when you get lucid, you will get excited and it will be very hard to acctually think of something to do. But, if you plan ahead by writing it in your DJ, maybe even drawing a picture, it will get imprinted in your memory and once lucid, you will remember it.
This may sound funny, but I "practice" my lucids in daytime. I simply play them out. Let's say, I want to throw fireballs, I pretend I just got lucid and practice throving fireballs. And after I could not speak in my lucids, only whisper, I started practicing saying commands out loud. So I would say out loud commands like "increase vividness", "lights", "focus now" and to my greatest surprise, I started hearing my voice in my lucids.

I've still been writing in my DJ everyday and it's a lot easier to do if you make it into a habit like brushing your teeth in the morning and evening.
I am also still practicing my awareness and reality checking making sure I actually question my reality so that I can be more aware in my dreams, I think this is probably why my dreams have been a lot more vivid this week.
Vivid dreams are a great sign. I believe, you need some more awareness training to help you realize. There is a great article here for awareness. it's part of a WILD class. If you read other lessons from it too, it will help you also with DILD, as many things from WILDs do apply to DILDs also.

Your heart beating faster and fast breathing happens when you just about to dream, so it's not you, it's a natural reaction, that's out of your control. Just let it be, it's normal.

Another thing, could I imagine signs in my dream whilst falling asleep that say: "This is a dream" or something because when I do mantras my mind drifts off to a daydream, so if I used the sign I could have it in my daydreams.
Tonight will be my 8th attempt and hopefully I will have my first lucid dream by this time next week 
I'm dreaming is also a great mantra. If you whisper them as you lay in bed before sleep, you will hear them and also think them. As you getting more sleepy, switch to just thinking them.
When you visualize something that's very familiar to you, you can incubate a dream. It's ok to drift off to a daydream as you falling asleep. Awareness training will help you recover from those daydreams, come back to awareness and daydream again, untill you end up in a daydream that turned into lucid dream. This is for WILDs.
