What should I do next?
Hi. First let me to explain the situation. I discovered lucid dreaming in july (i was searching on a method on how to remember your dreams) and it blowed my mind. When I was a child I always said that if a genie would come at me and say to me that I have a wish, I'd say that I want a world where I am god, where I can do ANYTHING. I red a lot of articles of lucid dreaming, and I know almost all the theory and informations about attaining lucid dreaming. I have tried a lot of ways to attain lucidity and it didnt worked too well. Don't get me wrong, I had like... 4 lucid dreams but just 2 of them were clear enough, but even these lasted just a few seconds and I did not known entirely that I am dreaming. During theese months of training now I can wake up EVERY night at almost exaclty 5 hours of sleep and my dreams are EXTREMLY vivid (just like real life). The bad things is that I don't have a good dream recall even if I keep a dream journal because its really frustrating ( 2 or 3 days I remember 3 dreams/night and the rest of the week I don't remember anything) . So if I don't keep a dream journal my dream recall its actually better because I remember pretty big ''chunks'' of 1 dream/night every night. The other bad thing its that I can't do reality cheks too often because i pretty much forget about them. I tried wild but I almost succeded just once, the first day I found lucid dreamings after listening like 30 minutes to some binaural beats. Sure I can listen again to binaural beats if they increase my WILD succed odds but there its a problem: I have the possibility to listen them just before I go to sleep. It would not be such a big problem but the thing what stay in my way its the dream recall because if I Lucid dream early in the night I can't remember it when I wake up. So, thanks for reading all and my question its: What should I do? Should I choose to focus just on DILD even if I don't have a really good dream recall or I should focus just on Wild?
P.S: I'm sorry for my broken english but I am from Europe ...

Hello! I think that for a beginner the best option is DILD, all my lucids were with DILD and I have not had any success at the moment with WILD. Just my opinion.
You say that you will not remember if you had a lucid in the middle of the night because of your recall, but in my experience the firsts ones occur when you're about to wake up so you will remember it, and when you gain experience you could wake yourself when you have finished your 'job' within the dream so you are sure that you will remember it. Anyways I've not much experience so :D

Focus on DILD the first half of the night and WILD the second half without binaural beats. If you find that its impossible for you to WILD without binaural beats then just focus on DILD. It's possible to improve your dream recall if you work on it.

I have news :D Last night I suddenly got my number 5 Lucid Dream :D Actually when I tried to move I woke up. It was sort of a horror/funny dream. In my dream I was going to school but it was night. When I made it to the entrence i saw a somekind of ''evil doctor'' with glasses and he looked really funy.. Before that a taxi driver stole my money so I said to myself ''I hope I at least get a Lucid dream in this bad day''. And then I realized: Wait a sec: Why its night? Why i took a taxi to my school if I live close to it? Why this evil doctor is here? This is a dream! And then I got really happy and tried to move, but i was movin in my bed. Then i woke up.
