I've been trying for the past month and a half. Reality checks all day, WBTBs, everything but supplements. Except I haven't been keeping a dream journal. I feel like spending 15 minutes every morning just to try to lucid dream would be a waste of time. I mean, I know that LDing is fun, but is it worth all that work?

If I kept a journal and tried extra hard for a few months until I could LD naturally, will my need to journal decrease? I feel like if I could just reach a point where I could more easily lucid dream, I won't need to focus so much on the small things. Like learning to drive a car, you focus a lot on all the small things on the dash and in the car until it becomes second nature.

If I just put in the extra effort now, will I be able to stop journaling and still LD?
