MILD - which is repeating mantras - can be powerfull technique. If it doesn't really work for you, you could add daytime awareness + reality checks to highten your chances of DILD. You don't have to use WBTB with this, but if you happen to get up to restroom, take 2 min when you get back to bed to RC+mantras, and then just repeat your mantra as falling asleep. It should be the last thing you think about just before you fall asleep.

1. Daytime awareness question + RCs + mantras - detailed description in Collection of techniques for DILD.
Do them during day, every time you remember to do it. If you can't remember, use some kind of a reminder ( a sticky note, rubber band on wrist, watch beeping on the hour...)

2. RCs + mantras before bed.

3. Mantra as falling asleep.

Don't forget to write your dreams in DJ. Every time you think about your dreams, it tells your mind that dreams and remembering them is important to you.
