Thread: Help developing a solid daily routine for DILDs

Also being able to focus would mean not falling asleep during WILD for example. Lots of things!

I think it might take forever to list all the things a powerful mind could be useful for. ;]

I can see how the meditation would be very useful for WILD; however, it seems like it has no benefit for DILD.

I can do the meditation for improving my WILD, so I can maintain focus/concentration. But don't I need to work on some form of self-awareness for DILDs?

Not so. Meditation is probably the most direct way to increase self-awareness.
