I have been trying to dild now for several months with no success I do not know what I am doing wrong. I have occasionally tried to do WILDs but that has not worked either. I cannot wbtb because I have to get up to early for school. Can someone help me find out what I am doing wrong.
1. Do you keep a DJ regularly?Quote:

Do more reality checks. You should do one now.
One thing that's helped me get a few extra DILDs is to do a reality check every time I go to sleep, and get up in the morning. This way, I catch false awakenings (which I actually get quite a lot of!).
Also, turning reality checks into a routine isn't as effective, in my opinion, as simply being aware, looking at objects and seeing if they look distorted. Right now, look at your keyboard and see if the letters are out of place, and look at your mouse to see if it looks weird.
Write down all your dream signs that you can think of then study them throughout the day. Know each sign and what it means/represents to you and do more reality checks throughout the day. Lastly, make sure you are getting proper sleep each night. At least 8 hours to DILD and make sure you aren't exhausted when going to sleep - this effects your chances of DILD and what really helps is doing mantras before you fall asleep. Do them while laying in bed at night with your eyes closed. Convince yourself that they will indeed work!
If all else fails, then give it a break. Sometimes lucids come when you least expect them to. -Chase
P.S. Do record your dreams in some sort of journal regularly. Also practice good dream recall - it's key to lucid dreaming! Good luck!
