Which Technique is This?
The majority of my LDs are induced by my simply knowing that I'm dreaming. For instance: one dream I was having dinner with a TV chef and I dropped my fork. When I picked it up, I remember saying to myself: "This is a dream." There was nothing unusual about the situation, I just knew!
Each night, before I fall asleep, I practice WILD. On every inhale I count breath and on every exhale I say "I will have a lucid dream." Is this a MILD? Isn't MILD supposed to increase the chance of RCs?
Does anyone else become lucid out of nowhere??
REAL LIFE RC: Am I asking a stupid question?? ;)

That's a DILD. Lots of my DILDs are completely random, I just realize that they are a dream. In the back of your head you probably noticed something strange, or remembered going to bed, or couldn't remember how you got there.

Yeah my only 3 lucids I've ever had were like that.
I wasn't even trying to LD, but they were about a month after I started actually trying. All of them. I don't have any ideas why, I do agree, I might have remembered going to bed, but I was never concious of actually thinking about that.

This usually happens when I'm remembering a lot of dreams during the night. Then suddenly during one of them, I guess when something changes, I'll know it's a dream. From that first time I figure it out it seems like I'll keep asking myself throughout the rest of the night if I'm dreaming, I'll have multiple LDs this way. A lot of the time though, I'll wake up after a few seconds of lucidity and I never have FAs.
What can I do to increase the likelihood of DILDing?
