So I guess I'm doing alright then. That's good. Unfortunately the last night of the MILD technique sent me into more sporadic sleeping, so either this MILD technique I used with the mantra "my dreams will be vivid. I will wake up after every dream and recall every detail" is working too well or I'm having other issues. A couple times last night I woke up with a flop sweat. I could recall my dream, but it wasn't lucid and I was strangely disturbed. It also took me an hour to fall asleep, repeating a different mantra (one centered around lucid dreaming) and envisioning a dream I had that night after accidentally falling asleep on my chair. It didn't work at all, I had completely unrelated dreams. I'm hoping this is some kind of hump that I need to get used to.

If there's nothing else anyone has to say, then thanks for the help guys, for some reason no one ever clarified this on any of the many lucid dreaming articles I found.
