If the idea of writing dreams down may sound repetitive, then do not do it.
Just wake, and write down a few key words from each dream.
Then use a microphone, and record your dream journal in audio.
You can then have a PC based dream diary. Backed up with audio
Use google to find images that fit in your dreams, and shove them in there as well

If I were to start a lucid dream tutorial, it would not involve any attempts to lucid dream at all.
Just daytime 'mind training' to get you in the right frame of mind.
The lucid dreams would then come more naturaly, and be much easier to master.

Nothing in the real world can be mastered on the first attempt, even walking takes years to acheive.
You should look on this task as something that has been acheived by many.
