That's actually what I used to do, except I tried WILDing before bed instead of WBTB, which is very hard to do. I've only gotten close to WILDing. |

The practices involved with DILD & WILD don't seem to be mutually exclusive. So, is there any reason to choose one over the other? |

To do list:
Have an LD(without waking up immediately) [x]; LD for more than 30 seconds[x]; LD for more than 2 minutes[x]
WILD [ ]; DILD [7(ish)]; Fly [x];
Practice a skill so that I will be better at it in real life [ ];
Create world peace using a harmonica [ ];
Solve a real life problem [ ]; Turn the world into a nudist colony [ ]
Some people say that the wild method is better because you can have it at will and the experience of going to sleep awake and the sensations you feel is exclusive to the WILD method. |

Wilds:6 Dilds:3

Well, the thing is... if you have a successful WILD, then there's no need to DILD because you';re already lucid. That, and as somebody already mentioned, WILD doesn't really work when you first go to sleep... it's more for a WBTB. So, when you first go to bed, try for a DILD or MILD, then when you wake up try for either a DEILD or a WILD. For me it's like this... when I wake up I try for a DEILD, but if I cant get right back to sleep then I get up, write what I can remember in my DJ, and then do a WBTB and try for a WILD. |

The only reasons why I would say it's better to choose one is if the person can only do one type of induction technique, or if they have a really high lucid rate with a particular technique. I've been LDing for nearly 3 years, and I'm still close to a 50/50 WILD/DILD ratio. |

No, of course it's not necessary! But a lot of people find that they can do one or the other much more easily. Personally, I rarely DILD, but WILD has come fairly naturally! Others fall asleep when they WILD. Personally, I'm a fan of M-WILD, which is where you stay awake while WILD-ing by concentrating on a mneumonic (such as "I will lucid dream") that can induce DILDs if the WILD fails! |

Do them all... it can only increase your chances. I still do reality checks every day even though I rarely induce lucids this way. Every little bit helps though. Once you perfect MILD/WILD you will be able to do it whenever you want. The only difference is whether or not you retrain conscious through the falling asleep process. There is no reason to do WILD without MILD in my opinion. If you are going to focus on something to stay conscious, it might as well be a hypnotic suggestion to induce lucids. BTW< I'm not sure why people call mnemonics DILD, these are MILDs. DILD starts from a non-lucid dream by doing a reality check, dream sign, result of HILD, etc. It's all semantics, but that's my understanding anyway. |

Actually consistency will raise your chances... |

Thank you both for your replies, but I disagree with Tushix. |
