Likewise, a MILD is an induction method for a DILD. You use MILD to induce a DILD, basically by telling yourself to remember to realize that you are dreaming, and by setting such a goal, to keep your mind activating and seeking to accomplish that goal. So if you do in fact become lucid because of your use of MILD, you're still having a DILD. Not a MILD.
I would offer an alternative viewpoint.

You can have a DILD randomly without using Mnemonic Induction.
In which case it is indeed a dream induced lucid dream (DILD). The lucid is caused by events in the dream.

But if you use Mnemonic Induction and you have a lucid because of the same then its a MILD (Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dream).

So the two things might be distinct....even if the differences are too small to worry about.
