Hi, I have a couple of questions to ask. The first one, and most pressing I think, is to do with MILD. I have read the tutorials and LaBerge, and various other things about the technique, and have got it down I think, in theory at least, basically just visualise yourself in a dream for 10+minutes, or however long you can before bed or on a WBTB attempt... This I what I believe is setting the intention for the lucid dream. I have tried various times to do this, but can never seem to picture the dream for long enough, I do suffer recently from a fluttering eye, which pulls me out of most every meditation that I try. Bt I can get past that by tilting my head to one side. Is there a way to stop this alltogether? Then I'm just stuck with wandering mind. Am I meant to be reciting mantras while visualising the dream? Am I meant to do it until I fall asleep, or just a good while before finally falling asleep?

I have started really trying for lucids since January. I started keeping a dream journal and trying to practie Ada, self awareness, RC improving prospective memory etc. whether I'm doing them well ip don't know, but I'm doing them every time I remember.

My second question arises from my recent string of complete dream recall meltdown. I usually, right from the start and before, remember 2-3+ dreams per night, however the last two or three nights my journal has been completely blank. Usually with my dreams are very long, and are probably more like 3 different dreams mixed into one without waking up (fully at least). That may sound good, but it poses a problem of remembering the early parts. I recall the end fine most timers, but the beginning is hazy at best, maybe a thought or feeling, or a vague idea that there was a car involved. A great deal of my journal entries have the line, 'I know there was so much more, but I just can't remember it's or something similar.
I was wondering is t his normal? Does everyone have the same problems with long dream recall, and is there something I can do about it? I would love to remember a few of these dreams in full.

Thanks
