When I first heard about lucid dreaming I started out trying all the different techniques that I stumbled upon.
I don't think this was the best way of starting out.
At the time I didn't remember any dreams at all, so even if the lucid dream induction techniques I tried worked, I couldn't remember what I had just dreamed.

The two most effective things I've done since I heard about lucid dreaming 1 year ago is keeping a dream journal. And writing a diary.
These two things have made me remember 2-3-4 dreams every night, instead of 2-3-4 dreams every month.
After a year, I still can't have lucid dreams on demand, but I have them every now and then, and I'm confident I'll be better at it as time goes.
The most important thing, besides keeping a dream journal, is not to give up.
It may take you only weeks before you have a lucid dream, and it might take a year. But you WILL have lucid dreams eventually if you DON'T give up!

And one more advice. Developing your own lucid dream induction technique is just as important as learning techniques others have made.
