Hello, everyone. Let me explain my situation:

So, a year ago I tried to lucid dream. I had a good dream recall thanks to my dream journaling but had trouble trying to remind myself of reality checks. I can remember it kinda worked a few times (None of which I managed to stay fully conscious, I couldn't control anything and it only lasted for a few seconds), but due to some reason I can't remember, I just stopped.

Now, after such a long time, I want to try and do it again, maybe with a little more enthusiasm. So, what advice you guys could give to someone who's basically just starting, but with a bit of previous knowledge?

(for the record, I have a stable sleep cycle of roughly 8 hours, I go to bed at 12-01 AM, and get up at 8-9. My dream recall gets pretty consistent with a few days of DJing, but, as I said, I have a lot of trouble trying to remind myself of doing RCs. Also, WILD just doesn't work for me, it always ruins my sleep, that's why I want to go with DILDs.)
