I really want to practise LD... But I don't know where to start

Howdy Partners,

So, I've been lurking this subreddit for about a year now and hearing everyone's different experiences have really captivated me for a long time, I've always been intrigued by Lucid Dreaming because I see it as a way for people to feel the biggest sense of freedom.

I've actually wanted to practise Lucid Dreaming for about three years but something in the back of my mind keeps saying I shouldn't, needless to say I've been listening to that weird feeling for these past three years... UNTIL NOW!

So, I want to begin this whole Lucid Dreaming thing and finally feel that sense of pure joy and freedom for myself, but all these different methods, practises, The "LD Toolkit" (Dream Journal, Reality Checks, etc.) have gotten me asking one simple question...

Where do I start?
