Congratulations on the LD! You know you have it in you, it just takes doing what you know you need to do, if you are anything like me.

-I alternate on how loose I hold my dream goals. LD count I have almost always held more loosely. I do make adjustments though. I tend to check my LD count looking backwards rather than forwards. In other words, I look back at how I have been doing and if my average is down I can usually point to myself not doing enough during the day and I am motivated to start putting in more day time work. I typically then see my average increase nicely but still not looking forward to anything like "I need 6 more lucids this month" since that seems to give me performance anxiety.

-When I do have specific dream goals that I really want to go after, I tend to think about them during the day during simulations of becoming lucid and hold them more loosely during evening and wbtb. It seems I most commonly remember my goals during the lucid when I realize I should be doing something more with my lucidity.
