Keeping a dream journal messed my head up so bad. I couldn't distinguish if my memories were from a realistic dream or if it happened in real life. So I dropped it all together.
One thing you didn't mention is setting an alarm at where your sleep is light. Getting up for a glass of water and back to sleep. Your brain is in an optimal "half-awake" state for lucid dreams.
I mentioned it that there are a bunch of methods but I we're just list the two that helped me the most.
I didn't like the alarm one. That in particular, seems like it would mess with your head more since it's disrupting her sleep.
And I didn't notice any difference when I used it.
There were a bunch of methods I tried, but they ranged from impractical to irritating, and the dream journaling and reality testing was simple and resulted in fairly rapid awareness of my dreams.
That does sound tough, not being able to distinguish dreams from reality.
I had a really cool one where I was like ninja flipping around a mall sliding down jumping off escalator handrails fighting these zombie dogs.
That was pretty rad.
