Making my tri-yearly or so return to trying to lucid dream.

I barely remember my dreams as it is - in the past few months I've given up smoking marijuana, and I figured that'd clear out my brain enough to help me start concentrating and being able to perform WILDs and such (not my reason for quitting, but one of the benefits of quitting) but I still only seem to remember maybe two or three dreams per week if I'm lucky. I've been reading up on lucid dreaming every day and in the morning I generally try to remember what I dreamt about, but I pull up nothing. If I wake up and try to WILD, either something disturbs me and makes me get up all grumpy or I fall asleep and wake up later, feeling like I've wasted a few hours. All I want to do is talk to my subconscious, find out why I'm who I am, maybe do some cool stuff, and then return to focusing on my waking life.

For the record, I've only had one lucid dream - when I was 13. It wasn't very exciting. I'm 18 now.

Anybody had a similar issue? I feel truly stuck here.
