I've been trying to lucid dream since 8th grade. I spent the last month of that summer getting into the habit of reality checks, writing in a dream journal, etc. The problem is I have only had about 5 ld's in my life, all under one minute. I had these about three to four years ago, and I even do a reality check every THIRTY SECONDS out of habit.... but the habit never bleeds into the dream...

Anyway, I've tried WILD, MILD, almost every main technique at least once. I have been on and off writing in a journal to the point where I don't bother because I don't have time in the morning, not to mention I can barely write correctly when I wake up. I also don't know how much detail to write, usually it was a page or so every night. I'm currently still performing reality checks (plug nose and try to breath through it, I do HUNDEREDS of these a day out of habit now and idk if I should try to break that habit since it's not working), using a program called Subliminal Blaster to show subliminal messages related to lucid dreaming (I'm on a pc about 6-8 hours a day), and using a Remee (lucid dreaming mask) since I got it two days ago. I think I'll just have to get used to the feeling of sleeping with a mask because I've had problems getting to sleep and waking up with it off.

What should I try? What am I doing wrong?

Other info:
- I am a very visual person, I see things and understand them very clearly
- I have one week of off time before I get back into my normal schedule for school
