      Small advice for a DILD lder/ WILD initiater

      So since I started practicing lds, my dream journal went for a few lines to a full page per dream. I had a lucid dream, but now I'm kind stuck:

      - You would expect that a person that spends 90% of their day (no i'm not making numbers up, even when I'm in WC I'm making sure I'm aware of my surrounding and asking myself why am I there) would notice he was piloting a military aircraft? I automatically do a RC when I see a person I know (it's one of my dreamsigns), but since I started doing it, seems like afair, no known persons are showing up in my dreams. And what should I prioritize in ADA? Questioning myself, notice my surroundings, notice my actions? I can focus on ADA like all day, but I don't know if I should stop questioning "Tell me exactly what happened in the last half hour, with all details", or "I can feel my breath, my muscles, the sound of the vigilance camera", any advice?

      - about WILD, it's not uncommon not performing one with success in the first days right? That means I will waste several hours of sleep per day cause of that, which I could be using for DILD? Because my plan was WILDing after 4:30 and 6hours, and If I happen to fall asleep, I would have DILD to aid reaching lucidity. Or you guys would advice me not to mix up techniques until I master DILD first?

      Fast form:

      for DILD, does the time you've been training as important as the % of time you practice ADA? what should I prioritize: questioning what I did in the last half hour, or less questioning and more focus on my surroundings?

      for WILD: wait until I get pro at DILD, or do it now? Don't want to waste hours of sleep when I still trying to achieve lucidity with DILD

      Sorry for the wall of text I wish the mentor project was still around to avoid these topics

      I also have trouble realising I'm dreaming when I'm seeing dreamsigns. So I don't focus on that at all anymore. When it comes to ADA, you want to be aware. The memory check is a Reality Check, and could be done every hour or so. Just look around you and really question if you're awake or not. The ADA should be on automode if it can be through out the day. Also always do a RC when you experience something weird.

      It's more the mindset really. If you want to WILD and intend to LD, then if you fall asleep you'll still have a big chance of getting lucid, since that's basicly a MILD. Some people just have trouble doing WILD's, myself included and I excluded that technique for the very same reason you just mentioned, it takes its toll on your sleep.

      What I do, and want you to try out is visualize. Tell yourself when you wake up: "Tonight I'm going to get lucid" because you know you can sleep for a long time the day after. Walk around and do ADA, but also visualize what you will do when you get lucid. What you've done works aswell. You really want to get that longing feeling, and you know you'll succeed. On that night, I do MILD and sometimes a short or long WBTB during the morning 6 hours into sleep. More visualizations and mantras then.

      Stick to it! Persistence will pay off and you'll find the way that works best for you soon enough. Good luck!
