Update 1:

Just been focusing on recalling dreams and no techniques this past week. It's worked for the most part, I can remember a dream a night, but I need to start writing them down in detail.

I've had one lucid, which was today when I had a nap since I had a headache. It seemed extremely random as I didn't use any technique. It wasn't anything special, just felt something different and realized I was dreaming. Tried a couple of times to levitate things, it worked on like the fourth try. I had a brief thought of my body lying asleep which woke me.
