I have tried a number of ways to connect to my Ubuntu 17.10 desktop using my laptop also running on 17.10. But at all times I happen to end up with a bluish screen and then lastly a pop up notification (Just can't get to my desktop). Any solutions please..?

The most, if not all current remote desktop tools wont work with Wayland, to mitigate this I'd suggest switching back to Xorg. You can do that by simply logging out and when logging back in clicking that small cogwheel icon and choose 'Ubuntu on Xorg' (see screen-shot).
To make Wayland completely unavailable you can even go further and disable it system wide by editing /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and change the following line:
#WaylandEnable=false
into:
WaylandEnable=false
This will disable the usage of Wayland on your system even for the login screen. After that X11 is being used again and the most common screen-sharing/remote access programs should work again.
