Thread: Help with techniques/working with a schedule

Hey guys,

So I'm currently in the middle of learning to stabilize my dreams, which I just got some help on in a different thread. Right now, I'd have to say that I really have two actual roadblocks in my way - getting myself to stabilize, and working with my schedule and figuring out a technique.

The thing is, I go to school 5 days a week, 3 of those days having to be in by 7:30 and the other two at 11:30. On the weekends, I absolutely take advantage of my time and work with techniques, usually being WBTB's (though I have tried WILD's to some extent, but have decided that maybe I will revisit it when I have more grounded LD's). The weekends is the only time where I find I can truly mess with lucid dreaming, and while I can practice, say, MILD's on weekdays, I've found myself to be very unsuccessful. If I could get myself into a better routine for dreaming, then I could much easier approach my stabilization issue.

So, basically, what my question is, is what kind of technique do you guys think I should take advantage of? I want to be able to dedicate more sleep time to lucid dreaming, it's just that I've found myself to be extremely unsuccessful with MILD's on the weekdays. I wish I could be practicing WBTB's more on the weekdays, but to do a "normal" WBTB I'd probably need to be getting to bed a lot earlier than I would really bargain for.

Is there a certain technique/schedule than works really well for days where one can't afford to miss much sleep? It sounds to me like the real technique for this would be MILD's. I will without a doubt review MILD's, (and other techniques)and see if perhaps there is something I am still missing out on, but so far I seem to be doing them correctly (although I suppose it can be hard to tell).

I really appreciated the help with my stabilization question, and thank you a ton in advance for any tips/ideas/guidance/advice you may be able to offer!
