Okay, well, originally I wanted to use WILD to induce lucid dreams, however, with six months of not even getting into SP, i've decided to change tracks a bit. I've decided to give MILD a try, however i do have a couple questions about it.
1. For WILD, it was almost always necessary to use WBTB in order for it to work. Is this necessary for MILD? I'd like to know because there are many times when it is difficult for me to use WBTB for the 30-60 minutes suggested because of school. I know that WBTB helps a lot, but could I MILD without it?
2. How much easier is MILD then WILD?
3. The few times times that MILD has (randomly) worked for me, I lost my lucidity almost instantly. It wasn't that the dream faded, it's just that as soon as I realized it was a dream, I thought "yay! i'm lucid" but then promptly went back to 'dream mode' where I wasn't lucid at all. Any solutions?

I know this is a lot, I'm just a little confused (and frustrated!), especially since MILD is so different than WILD, and now I basically have to start from square one. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it!
