I have been trying for 2 nights and have not been sucsessful yet. If anyone can answer these questions thatd be great.
I reckon you'd have to be pretty skilled at lucid dreaming to attempt it for the first time and start seeing results in two night.
I'll just tell from my experiences. It took me about a week or two to start seeing results and it was through WILD, though I wouldn't recommend that to first timers. WILD can be a tricky thing and even now I sometimes fail at it. I can't really say which lucid technique is the right one for you. That's something you'll have to figure out for yourself, though a lot of people do swear by MILD and DILD.

What I'd do is first start a dream journal. Everytime you wake up and remember a dream, just write it down. Not only does this improve recall, it keeps you motivated and allows you to see any recurring dream signs. If you want a DILD, I'd try out All Day Awareness, since it helps you become more aware in your dreams. Don't get frustrated if it doesn't work straight away. Once you've got ADA down, you'll never fail to have a DILD at some point. And some mantras would also help and can lead to MILD - Just say them before bed or as you try to fall asleep and, just like with ADA, eventually you should see results.

Lastly, I'd recommend doing wake back to bed, since that always improves your chances to have lucid dreams.
