You see, there's a funny little thing about LDing. You can know every single thing about lucid dreaming, yet not have very many of your own. Sometimes, Knowing everything about it can be a slight downfall in some aspects. Why? Well, You know how to Lucid Dream, you know that you are able to, etc, etc. However, If one knows all this and still has not experienced one, then that little voice in the back of their head might start saying "You're incapable, You just can't do it" Thus, proving to be a major set back/downfall. This discourages one. You KNOW you are able to do it, but you also begin to learn all the ways you AREN'T able to do it, thus setting up a little wall. (could be even harder to understand, its late, i'm tired blah blah, carry on) Let me put it this way; A man is not concerned about his health, but lives a healthy life anyway, ignorant to the fact he is able to be unhealthy. Another man is just like the last man, and is healthy, but becomes aware that he can become very unhealthy if he doesn't watch out for unhealthy things. He becomes paranoid, And soon becomes unhealthy, due to watching out too much for unhealthy things. This was his downfall, If he did not have the knowledge of the unhealthy things that he wasn't even going to come in to contact with regardless, he would have lived a blissfully ignorant, healthy life! So, That being said, don't let that knowledge be your barrier, instead, allow yourself to be the one creating the remedies for everyone else, and yourself.
Metaphorically, Your brother could just be the unaware, healthy man, who's lucky and better off not knowing anything about how he could be endangering his health. But, you have that over him, you know the dangers, you just have to let yourself be aware of them, not paranoid, and allow yourself to know that when you let yourself to be slightly ignorant, in order to become less paranoid, you're not endangering yourself, you're bettering your health.
Sorry that I went off into a different little semi-complicated metaphorical world there, haha. But, I hope this helps you a bit.. Good Luck with LDing!
