Welcome to DV! I'm glad you have found an interest in LDing and you're definitely on the right path to lucidity. When you're performing your RC's (reality checks) make sure you are actually aware that it is possible you could be dreaming at the moment. Keep up with your DJ and maybe start one here to share your dreams with others if you wish Regarding what method you should use, it is completely up to you, but i would suggest starting with MILDs as WILDs can be much more tricky, but like i said you're free to try anything. I sleep with a fan on all night and it's rather loud, but i'm used to it so i don't even notice it anymore so it should be no problem at all.
