Am I doing well?(Aka, lot's of questions)

[Mariano]

hello, let me say that I exactly don't know if I am advancing on lucid dreams. I never had one, and I never went conscious when having Sleep Paralysis. Here are my "Questions". 1) How long I have to be doing RC to start doing it in the dreams? My RC are: ¿Am I dreaming right now? look around slowly, the looking at my hands, pinching my nose, and looking for something to read.... One night I had a dream, where I pinch my nose and I could breath through it, so I said "wow, i'm in a dream"....but when I woke up I knew that I really wasn't Lucid...it just was an illusion, an illusion where I "controlled" the dream, flying and doing telekinesis, but not conscious. 2)Why I keeping failing on WILD? Last night I tried reverse blinking, it relaxed me more..so I started to wild(at 12:00 PM) I didn't move ANY ANY MUSCLE, even I didn't Swallow, so I'm happy that I win that little battle, but the problem is, the Sleep Paralysis never come to me. In my Wilds, I count my breaths, from 1 to.....300..and then I wait a little. The good thing is that I fell asleep... But the bad thing is that when I know that I'm falling asleep, I try to keep counting, I put all of my efforts on keep counting, but not being more aware, just on keep counting.....and nothing happens.. I think that my Sleep Paralysis is special, is like my body knows when I'm trying to trick him...it's strange....I really wanna WILD, it's obvious that I will keep trying....but well....I'm just frustated...I'm trying this technique for 10 days. 3)How do I recognize a Oniric sign in my dreams? Because I found it, but it's a hard sing I thinks... The signs is that I always see one of my elemental school partners(I real life I never see them) but how can I use it to have DILDS? that's all my friends... thanks for reading to me... bye!

1) I don't even RC in my dreams. I just randomly know I'm dreaming. The RC is just there to confirm it 2)You want to swallow during WILDs. Just be natural and do it during the WBTB method. Try it with the MILD tech so maybe you'll end up DILDing instead . 3) It's just all about linking the objects/actions/feelings to "Oh i must be dreaming". Unfortunately it doesn't happen over night :/. You might want to check out the Lucid Aids forum.
