Greetings and Hallucinations!

So I've been trying to have a lucid dream for quite some time. I'm having relatively frequent and vivid dreams just about every night, give and take a few. I do frequent reality checks, write down all my dreams and have recognized a few dream signs. (By the way, for a while, none of those dream signs have appeared in any of my dreams. Before, I noticed them almost every night. Any thoughts on this?)

Anyway, I don't mean to sound all discouraged or anything like that, but I'd really like to learn how to lucid dream. So my question is, is there something I'm not doing, or not doing right? I'd just appreciate any input I can get from you guys. (And other people.) And if there's any other info that I can give you that might be useful, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thanks in advance!
