If nobody has noticed, I'm only really active for random short periods of time here on the forums. This is applicable to my general interest in dreams too. Although I do know myself to have issues committing to a project, I can definitely say that a lot of the blame for this issue goes to the fact that these things can be challenging to fit into a school schedule. I do know that with patience, I can attain a pretty decent lucidity rate and dream recall status. However, even though it may be asking too much in my situation, I'd like to know of any possible ideas for an optimal schedule. I also have a few questions.

- I know that naps are EXTREMELY useful for lucid dreams from experience, but I also have heard that it is important that you keep a constant schedule. If I didn't have school blocking napping opportunities off, this wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately I can only take naps on the weekends. Ergo, would it have a negative effect on my dream recall, lucidity rate, etc... if I were to take early morning naps on the weekends but not on Sunday through Friday?

- Are there any other efficient ways of increasing dream recall other than using a dream journal? (Although, DJ's and dream recall go together like a horse and carriage.) Because in the mornings, unless I start waking up earlier, it can be a struggle to write down a dream in my dream journal and then get ready for school in time.

- What is it that makes WILD's so "not good" for a school night? Is it the fact that it takes a long time to get into a dream? Or is there some other factor that I'm apparently not aware of at the moment? The prospect of being able to go right into an LD is very tempting, although my current method is the DILD simply because it's simple and can fit into pretty much any schedule with little effort when done properly.

Help would be GREATLY appreciated as these questions constantly pop into my head.
