Thread: What am I doing wrong?

I would say - don't fixate and restrict your activities on achieving WILD - read the DILD stuff as well!
Do you keep a dream-journal and know your recurring dream-signs?
Do you do reality checks?
Check out MILD - well - in general - look up DILD stuff and try it from that angle as well.
WBTB with trying WILD but falling asleep normally has proved a good preparation for getting a DILD later on for me.
Good luck!

I just started a dream journal the other day. I seem to remember 50% of the things that happen in my dreams, ever since I started waking up 5 hours after sleeping. I always fail WILD and fall asleep, but I remember my non-lucid dreams.

Are DILD and WILD the same (as far as being conscious in the dream goes?) I'm new to lucid dreaming, but with DILD wouldn't the experience be not as good compared to WILD? or is it all just different ways to get there...
