I don't think DILD is that reliable, since you have to do an RC while in a dream. I have average dream recall (4-6+ a night), but hardly ever had a DILD. Only around 14 in 4-5 months. In that whole time, I have had average dream recall. However, I don't really keep a DJ, but know a few dreamsigns. Also, I do an RC anytime I think something is wierd, whenever I wake up, get in bed, and before/after i WILD. i catch a lot of false awakenings that way. At least half of my DILDs were FAs. I have now had at least 5 lucids using the FILD(Finger-Induced Lucid dream), which DOES work. You don't necessarily have to twitch your fingers. I just tell myself when I wake up in the middle of the night to do an RC in 30 seconds. I do, and am in a dream!
So, for DILD, I have jound that repeating a chant/mantra helps. Repeat at night for a few minutes as you fall asleep "I will realize I am dreaming while dreaming." Also repeat "I will remember my dreams" if you want better recall. When I learned about lucid dreaming, that last chant made me go from a few faint dreams a week to at least 3-4(usually more) a night, starting the first night. Do RCs several times a day, and question whether you are dreaming or not. Also, if you wake up during the night, if you try the FILD and WILD methods and they fail, repeat the first mantra for a minute as you fall asleep.
I know there's alot more that you can do to help you have DILDs, but I don't work on having DILDs, so can't really think of any. Anyway, hopefully you get something out of this [long] post.
