what is your favorite and most succesful method?

as in, what do you do personally that works best for you to have an LD? please give specifics

[Emiko]

I nearly always MILD. I've found that belief that it will work, self-confidence, and enthusiasm are the most important factors that determine whether it will work or not. I try to keep up the mantra as long as I can while I'm falling asleep; probably 5-10 minutes, although I've never actually timed it. I always make sure to continue doing the mental affirmations when I find myself waking up in the middle of the night after a sleep cycle.

WILDing has given me great results lately. Even when the WILD doesn't work properly and I don't directly enter a lucid dream, it seems to make me more likely to become lucid in a dream.

My favorite method is wild, but i've only had lucids through dild. I never seem to get lucid through wild but its still my favorite.

[Emiko]

what's your mantra? Any one of the following: "I lucid dream." "When I'm dreaming, I recognize that I'm dreaming." "When I'm dreaming, I will become aware that I'm dreaming."

[Effectual]

I haven't had too many lucid dreams, but the majority that I've had were MILD's. I like the technique because pre-sleep mantras can be added to any other technique, even WILD (though I'm not sure if it would have any effect).
