Hey guys

For about a month I've been trying different lucid dreaming techniques however none have been particularly effective. I think so far I've only had about 1 LD but I have no idea how I did it and it was all very blurry so I didn't get very far. (I pretty much realized I was dreaming, did a reality check to be sure, rubbed my hands together to make it clearer, spun around, ended up outside and started to question if I was actually dreaming, so to check I woke up and realized the stupid thing I had just done.)Anyway now before going to sleep I see a screen like thing in front of me, almost like a television, would this be just some hallucination from a wild like effect?

Also what's a good LD technique that doesn't screw up your sleep pattern too much, I usually get to bed around 1am and sleep in till 10am. I've tried reality checking but I either forget or it doesn't work properly.
