Welcome to DV!
It's great to see so much enthusiasm, and with enough dedication and hard work, you'll be able to have even more lucids.
Good job on starting a dream journal and saturating your mind with sleep information. That never hurts anything, usually the opposite.
My biggest advice to you is to find one technique and stick to it. Persistence is key.
You'll find "experts" on just about any method here, so you'll always find help.

Good luck.
