As for keeping up a good attitude, I do not want to be biased in favour of any of these methods working. In a lot of threads like this, people who try the methods and fail say things like "Well, at least I had good dream recall". This, I believe, is an effect created by believing too much in the success of a method. Of course, this isn't the only thing that can go wrong with being biased towards the success of a method, either.

At the same time, I will try my best to not be biased towards the failure of this. I want to be neutral towards the chances of this working out for someone like me.
if you are not biased in favour of these methods working, then you are probably going to go into it with too much of a skeptical frame of mind to acheive anything. there is nothing wrong with convincing yourself that something will work. the placebo effect is one of the most powerful methods of inducing lucid dreams imo

don't concentrate on testing the methods, concentrate on the result
