Dreambh!! Congratulations on the double lucid! That's great stuff, man! I'm looking forward to checking these out. Congratulations, too, on turning in a good performance in the competition.

The search for the "perfect" technique is such a tough question. Take your time with the process and don't put too much pressure on yourself to find the very best tech right away. The most important thing to remember IMO is that the techniques don't make you lucid. They are just there to help focus your intent and your beliefs into a spark of realization when you're dreaming. You got yourself lucid. The techs just brought out your abilities.

Techniques can help a lot, but nothing matters more than intent, belief, and awareness.

Keep up the good work, dreambh!
