I have been trying to induce LD for the past 4 weeks and have had some success but not consistent. However, I figured out that (almost) every time I fail with WILD, I succeed with DILD the same night or following morning. So far without WILD I had only one DILD (despite of all the RCs and awareness practice I do in the day). But nearly 10 DILDs (brief ones though) when I failed with WILD in the same night.

So, I tried WILD last night to see if I will have a DILD. And it WORKED. I tried WILD immediately after going to bed. I know we have to try WILD after 3-4 hours of sleep. But this is a deliberate recipe to fail so I just went ahead. I didn't move for nearly 45 mins and focused on the HI and did get some mild vibration but nothing more than that. I just turned to my position and slept after 50 mins I guess. I had a very vivid DL around 4 AM and it was DILD. I became aware in the dream and thought to myself "Wait a min, this place is totally strange and so are these people". I did my usual RC (pinch nose - breath) and went lucid.

I'm going to try again tonight and see it works consistently. Guys who are trying DILD, try this and see if it helps you too.
