Thread: Starting to get frustrated.

Don't switch back and forth between heaps of techniques, give a technique a few months of dedication to see if it works for you, and then switch it up if it dosen't, just be consistent. From what you mentioned with the techniques you are doing, you are practicing WILD (keep trying, WILD can be a bit tricky for some) and DILD (ADA is a variant of that, and RCs are something you do to suppliment DILD). If you don't think that dreamsigns are your thing, then don't use dreamsigns. I've seen some comments telling you to stick with them, but for me personally, there is no one reoccuring factor in my dreams I could use, much less one I would want to depend on for lucidity. So, drop the dreamsigns, however, keep the Dream Journal and the Reality Checks. DJs make a big difference no matter what the technique, and RCs are good for stabalization, and can make the difference between a semi-lucid that lapses into a non-lucid, and a good quality lucid. I would recommend you try MILD, after you get it going it can become very reliable, and importiantly, you can use it as well as other methods. Try setting something up with DILD practice during the day, MILD before bed, and a WBTB with either another MILD or FILD/DEILD/WILD (or something else, whatever works for you.) Just stay determined and good luck.
