The MILD technique has always been a good one for me, as well as a bad one. I'll explain.
All my lucids happened through this method(MILD then DILD) but the downside for it, at least for me, is that they happen at random; they can happen, but yet, they can not. Sometimes in my dreams, I see 10 snake headed dragons fighting each other while dancing gangnam style, and it's perfectly normal for me. No questions asked. Other times, I dream I'm home, minding my own business, then I look at my tv and BAM! It's a little smaller than it actually is. Then, REALITY CHECK! OMFG I'm dreaming! Let's rape some bitches!
That "randomness" about MILD and DILD always let me down a little bit.
I started trying WILD because of that, I wanted to have lucids, and vivid ones, whenever the hell I wanted. After failing miserably so many times at WILD, I'm trying to change my perspective on it, and work a little more on the more "natural" MILDs while I'm at it. What definitely helped me stopping being a dream asshole like I mentioned above was mantras. The mantra "I do reality checks in my dreams" helped me getting aware, and already "expecting" my dreams before I even have them. Thanks to mantras, my LD's became more frequent.
I know there's other ways of enhancing DILDs, such as all day awareness (ADA), Reality checks during the day and many others. You might have to make some little adjustments in your waking life so you can be aware in your dreams more often.
happy dreams
