Thank you for replying. The closest I've been to a LD was a few weeks ago, where I tried SSILD after 6 hours of sleep. It was hard to focus because I was groggy, but eventually I "woke up" in a dream and looked at my clock, realized that the "12" was shaped strangely, and then actually woke up. I was surprised because it had been a while since I had a false awakening, but it was so vivid that it gave me more motivation. When I do WBTB normally, I get so tired that I fall back asleep immediately, or wake myself up too much. Another thing I noticed was that I never see text in any of my dreams (besides the SSILD attempt), and my RC involves looking at text, so I thought of switching it to plugging my nose. Have you ever had to change your RC because of your dreams?
