Hi and welcome to Dream Views! There is a lot of great information, and some really good dream journals to read (although I think all dream are great lol).

For the recall part it might sound a little strange but for me the less I try to force my recall and force lucids the better I can recall my dreams and have lucids. I think it is the whole trying to hard thing or something, but you might want to try this. Of course I still do the occasional reality check during the day, but I do not have the time seclude type of thing doing for them. I also do not have a set induction technique I use.

IDK just a thought lol Again welcome to DVs this is a really great place and we are happy to have you.

Take Care,
D.G.
