But the problem is that means shutting yourself away from most lucids. All lucid techniques can be grouped into WILD, DILD or hybrid techs. Also if I start becoming lucid during normal dreams, thats an excellent way of practicing expanding awareness and stabilization. In my WILDs and DEILDs I rarely need to stabalize for the first couple of minutes. However because of this, it becomes annoyingly hard to anticipate destabilization. If I become lucid in the middle of a dream, it should begin destabilizing quickly so I can try stabilizing techniques. Since I created this thread I've had a couple more DILDs so I'm begining to get it.
