is there a single method to success? (lucid dreaming/gaining lucidity)

[DynoTAP]

Bare with me folks, this is my first posting about lucid dreaming. I've been attempting to LD using the WILD technique I have been doing this for the past 4 weeks every time i get to the part where i start seeing blobs of light swirling around behind my eyes and then start hearing or seening sounds/visions of people saying my name -- I get stuck. I either give up or fall asleep. Also, sometimes I encounter this surge of enery that I'll call anti-energy for it makes me think i'm about to fall asleep. Should I just go with the flow and follow it or should I resist it? when I was a child, 3 years of age, I had my first lucid dream and then again when I was 7. I don't know how I did it and would very much appreciate it if some one could help me out here I'm struggling figure this out.
