My most recent 3 DILDs came from a dreamsign MILD visualization I believe, and incubation of that dreamsign so that I have the chance to notice it. What was different about these last 3 DILDs is that they all were in/around one particular location (my dreamsign), and I instantly became lucid at the start of the dream when appearing in that place.

I think the prospective memory exercises are valuable for teaching yourself to "set intention" to notice something. MILD with the last dream and with recurrent dreamsigns are both versions of this: intending to trigger an action based on noticing something.

In addition maintaining a lot of prospective memory targets throughout the day may raise general background awareness.
Okay - this sounds good - I will try to do visualisations of my dreamsigns in the day and attach a notion to do something with it - namely RC.
I know very many dreamsigns of me - but these are things, that are not part of my life now.
Like the place I grew up, my parents, old friends, I did not meet for ages .. and and - nothing occurring in my actual life right now.
To visualize them in waking and attach a RC to the visualization - sounds good to me.
Do I have to randomize the other things - is it detrimental, if I just pick 3 or 4 new ones for the day myself from the/a list?
And how come?
Intuitively I have a vague notion of the randomisation making sense - but really understand it I do not.
