Well congrats!
Keep at it, seems as though this works for you. MILD is my method of choice and I'm happy to see it service another.
Your mantras seem really nice and steady, if they work for you, great!
If you feel a little daring, try making "I will realize I'm dreaming" present tense so it becomes "I am dreaming."
Still prefer your original one? That's perfectly fine, there's no right or wrong way to do this.

Keep up the good work
