I never thought of doing SSILD repeatedly. Maybe that's why, despite huge success for a week and then nothing for 6 months doing SSILD occurred, but it does raise my awareness during dreams greatly.

I'm a very kinesthetic person, so I cannot focus on anything with also using my body in some form. So maybe FILD will be more helpful for those of us who cannot focus out intention and imagination for extended periods of time.

I'll do these two techniques with you and post results. Hopefully that'll help too.
