Hi Jade,
well, your problems are quite common. You see, lucid dreams don't really happen on command. You can do your best and get none and then you get a few when you stop your effort. But most of the time, when you doing your practice correctly, you should be getting consistent LDs. By consistent I mean, that there still will be time periods with more lucids and periods with less, or none.
Same goes with recall. I can recall some long and detailed, complicated dreams for couple of days, and then just fragments or not even that for a couple of days after. As long as you get more days with good recall than none, I think you are ok.
Now, I have heard from more people, that they get LDs the moment they stop trying. So it could have something to do with a fact, that LDs don't really work, when we WANT them, and we want them hard. They work more when we just simply KNOW, that we can do it and we stop trying to force the issue, or even getting frustrated over that. And what also doesn't help, when someone thinks that his recall/LD count sucks and that makes a person not happy. What helps is having the Intent, being happy and content about all dreams, even fragments and to know, that there are ups and downs and that's perfectly ok.
I'm sure you know, that you don't allways have control in LD, or you can have different level of control.
Since you know the techniques, you have had plenty of LDs, all I'm gonna stress is the importance of daytime awareness. This is probably the most important part in not only getting consistent LDs, but also good quality LDs, such as length, awareness, vividity and such.
For this, I would recommend you read the WILD class lessons. It's about intent, awareness and the whole mental state a dreamer should have. And if you are interested to take your training up a notch, dream joga classes. They are both here in DV Academy. They will help with all dreams, including DILDs.
I'm afraid, that without work there will be no LDs, untill you maybe have couple of thousands of them.
Hope, that I have answered at least some of your questions. Happy dreams:alien
