First night using mantras

So I went to bed at 11.45pm. While I was laying in my bed I repeated the following things: I will always remember my dreams x5 | I will wake up when my alarm goes off x5 (cause I was doing WBTB). I noticed I woke up at about 3am, I recalled 1 dream. Then I woke up again at 5.15am, I recalled another dream. So then I decided to do my WBTB instead of doing it at 6.20am when my alarm would go off. I visualized me becoming lucid in the two dreams I recalled. And I kept repeating in my head: In my next dream I will realise I'm dreaming. When I woke up in the morning I couldn't recall anything. How come I woke up 2 times during the night, is it because of my mantras? And how come when I woke up in the morning I couldn't recall anything? I guess I've used the wrong mantras? I honestly don't know. :huh:

You have to find your own mantra, "I control my dreams" doesn't work for me where as "the next tume im dreaming I will recognize im dreaming" works for me. Also depends whwn you woke up, it you slept too much ans yoou dony have good recall you wont remenber as much. Sorry dor spelling thr iphone keyboard sucks

Exact same thing for me.after the first day i tried to MILD with mantras I couldn't recall anything, and no lucids as well.Few days later , i guess they somehow worked.I just used my own mantras, not the ones i read on internet.
