"Many people perceive MILD as something like "I will remember I'm dreaming", but this leaves no trigger to activate your lucidity, leaves nothing to the brain to retrieve that intention. To do MILD properly, you need grab some mnemonic to aid you. And that good thing is that if you choose a recurrent dream sign, you can apply something like "Whenever I see X person/animal/place/situation/feeling, I will do a reality check"."
Well, assuming I still haven't been able of finding my dream signs, do you believe prospective memory trainings like this one could still improve my MILD?
Anyway, next topic will be a personal review of that study mentioned in the top of the post, that will give us material for a juicy discussion ^^
Did you ever get to write such a review? If you did, could yo share a link?
EXTRA: As you're interested in these memory practices, I will share one I am developing for working both prospective and retrospective memory. I believe it won't be of much use for you (your retrospective must already be good and you probably recall your dreams very well), but I also think it could interest you anyway, maybe just out of curiosity.
What I do is choosing 3-5 cues at the beginning of the day. This is for the Prospective Memory. Then, whenever I spot a cue, I will try to remember everything that's happened so far in my day since the last time I spotted another cue. If it is the first cue of the day, I will try to remember whatever happened since I got out of bed.
