Are Mantras the help for a DILD??

Hey,

The last 2 weeks I've been trying to use the DILD method, and I had one lucid dream. I know that you won't get like a lucid dream every night, but I just wondered how to use mantras effectively, and if there are other methods or aids wich can help with having a DILD.

Technically, if you want to use a mantra, you'd be performing a MILD, not a DILD.

In my opinion they help, but it's mixed. It depends on the kind of person you are, I think.
For a DILD, you'll want to make RCs a habit. I don't have that much experience in this field though, because the DILDs i've had are all accidents.

I would advise you to check out the tutorials section Here to read up on DILD techniques and maybe consider trying other techniques such as MILD or WILD which may work better for you.
