help

since having my first LD bout a week ago attained by DILD, i been trying meditation and repeating 'I Will remember to recognise im dreaming' and after falling asleep after like 1hour, i dont wake up till morning but remember vaguely a dream (1 or 2), write it down.
but my dreams are quite realistic so its hard to remember anything strange. also do reality checks like holdin my nose. What shuld i try out or just wait etc

Well I certainly hope that by "repeating" during meditation you mean using conceptual thought to constantly think of the concept of dream state recognition because if you use speech-based thought then it's pretty much hard to call meditation.

If you don't think that dream signs are the right way for you to go then I'd suggest either awareness or intent training. The first is much tougher so I would advise the use of intent/will power as apparently you've been attempting to do. Meaning having real intent to realize the dream state and forming a technique around this idea to fit yourself.

From what Merlock said

Yea i dont speak it, i jus try to enforce the idea of dream state recognition.
