Hi everyone, I`ve been successful with DEILD a few times in the past as I wake up many times in the middle of the night but havenīt tryed FILD yet. It happens that I havenīt been succesful lately and I think thatīs because I abandoned my dream journal. I seems that dream recall is fundamental in all techniques. My question to the more experienced is how long do I have to keep the journal ? And I also agree that if FILD fails in the first few minutes, the best thing to do is to change to the highly efective WBTB technique.
