Will this work?

[Ninjaa]

Tonight, well tomorrow morning I plan to become lucid, I have been practicing all week doing reality checks and ADA and I feel prepared, my plan was this: I was planning to use the WBTB method to go to sleep at 2:00am and then wake up at 6:00am and then do something for 20-30mins then go back to bed again, before I sleep I plan to use the DILD technique, but to boost my chances of becoming lucid, I was thinking of using a mantra such as "I will become aware that I am dreaming and become lucid" will this work using all the methods at once?

Yes that could work. But there's never any guarantee. Only practice and experience will tell you what techniques work best for you.

Sounds like a plan If I may suggest, it's best to have mantras in present tense, never in future. Our mind interprets "I will" as sometimes in future, just not now. Otherwise it sounds great. One classic mantra to be used as falling asleep, as a last thought before drifting off is "next time I'm dreaming, I realize I'm dreaming". You can do it. Happy dreams

@gab my mantras work better in future tense It's all about what you think will work best

IMO best beginner ADA is reading - attaining lucidity guides. Doesn't have to be that much effort, but if you keep at it, keeping in mind to RC becomes effective. (edit) Also I've seen a number of people point out in WILD/WBTB threads that a mantra isn't that important, but the affect of clear thought works. Mancon has stated to just relax and go to sleep.
