DILD pros or people who can at least DILD NEED HELP
Welcome to the forums!
It sounds like you're on the right track. First, I would give it another week or two of dream journaling for your dream recall to improve. It took me a good month to remember full dreams and multiple dreams per night.
Once you have plenty of dream journal entries, start looking for dreamsigns - common objects or themes that appear in several of your dreams. For example, mine are video games, terrible driving, and being chased, but it can literally be anything (sight, sound, emotion, etc.). This will give you a little focus for your reality checks. When you do your normal reality check, tell yourself, for example, "If I am being chased by someone, I am dreaming, and I will do a reality check." Of course, don't stop doing your normal reality checks, but add in this part.
After that, it's pretty much just luck. DILD's kind of suck like that, in that you can do a ton of reality checks one day and not have a lucid, and another day you can do like one reality check and have multiple lucids that night. However, the more you prepare, the better your chances of a lucid.
Yes. Give it more time. If you wake up in the middle of the night, try jotting down any dream material you can remember before going back to sleep. If you are rushed in the mornings, give yourself an extra 5 minutes or so to prioritize recalling your dreams first thing. You have to grasp at those dream traces when you wake and, over time, you will find they take less effort and increase in strength/number.
Also, the body works on an variable ratio/interval to pretty much everything, so do not stress out when you encounter a week or two of bad recall. It averages out over time and I've never heard of anybody losing these skills.
ok i’ll keep trying thanks :)
