Hey Gab, great tutorial! I have a few questions:

How long did it take you to have DILDs based on RDAT and the other techniques?

Will using a mantra to help me WBTB, as opposed to having a mantra to remind myself to RC, hurt my chances of a DILD significantly?

I've been practicing RDAT for a while (over a few months) and have only had one spontaneous DILD. I've also been DJing, doing WBTB, RCs, pretty much everything to do with DILD and WILD. I'm not sure what it is that's causing this "dry spell" (I've had 3 lucids from DEILD many months ago and can't seem to create that state of mind anymore when waking from a dream). Do you have any advice on what I can do about it? I persist with my attempts and am not sure whether I'm putting too much effort into LDing. I understand that it's different for everyone so if you can't really answer then it's fine!
