MILD-ing doesn't works for me

Month of practising and obviously MILD tehnique doesn't works for me :O
I do a lot of Mantras, before bed, in bed sometimes outside bed etc...
Practise visualization while mantring but it's keeping me awake and I fall asleep only when stop thinking of it.
And once i relax myself and stop think about it to asleep myself, I totaly forgot to do them now as I'm in dreamy state.
Tonight I'll give it final shot and see how it wents...

What other methods are easy and/or similar to MILD? I must get up early for school around 5:30 pon - fry

btw, my dream recall has improved. But I only remember the dream in like 2 pieces and can remember that over a week, although can't remember whole dream

Did you try WBTB?
Also I heard afternoon naps can be better for LDing, so you could try that out.
But I'm not an expert to help you really out.

I tried afternoon naps, but also no luck whatsoever. Same case as before real sleeping time
I maybe try it tonight

If it's not working at all, move to something else. If you feel like you have made some progress, maybe give it another two weeks. No points staying with it for months if it doesn't help in any way though.

Other methods that are similar/easy and don't rely too much on WBTB I would say DEILD and DILD are probably best. DEILD can be similar because you will probably still use a mantra to wake you up after a dream, and DILD you do RC's often, which is good because you are used to doing things regularly to help LDing, and also dream recall helps DILD so if your dream recall is improving this can be an advantage.

maybe I just can't convince my brain to remember to perform reality check when something odd happens in dream. It just goes :O

I was reading about DEILD. How can I know when dream ends and wake up then? I even don't know know when it starts xD
And I dont like waking up in the middle of night (creepy stuffs etc...) hve some trauma with horror movies:O

Try this: Everytime you wake up try to DEILD.
You have a chance that it'll work eventually.
And with practice you can get a long chain.
That's what I'm doing.

yep, gonna try DEILD. Sounds awesome seeing formation of a dream in your eyes :D

Report back how it goes! Its discouraging when something doesn't work and you've tried so hard! I tried to WILD today in a nap, and after forty minutes, i didn't even fall askeep. And then i had to go to class... Problem is, im so wiggly when i try to fall to sleep... I tried not to move, but after fifteen minutes that is not possible...

But DILD's do work for me however. You don't always get lucid, not even close unless you're an expert...

The point is, certain menthods work well for some, and others... Not so much.

Well,Well, well... This night so.ething odd happenss :)

I guess I ain't gonna give up on MILD-ing yet hh

In this dream tonight I finally experienced lucidity! Something in dream was raising me up and down and in the moment I hit into the Wardrobe, i say to myself: Is this a dream? This must be a dream. Then I lookes into my hands and my fingers on my left hand were deformated. Then I though Omg, I' m aware of my dream! This is dream for sure! Then I perfomed another RC finger through palm and it also worked. Then I thought: ok, what to do first now? Dont remember what I thought of. I went to my window and then I lost Lucidity by waking up (the scene was fading away). But then I woke up in dream, realizing that I dreamed my Lucidity..... -.- then the next dream was about something else, forgetting about Lucidity again..... Then I woke up at 2:00 am and then continuing the sleep with mantras, althought no lucid that time....

ah, congratulations man :) good that it finally worked out for ya! hope you get more with time :p
