New to Lucid Dreaming

I got interested in LDing about 5 days ago. I haven't achieved a single LD but I feel I'm close.
Usually I don't dream a lot or I just don't remember that I dreamt. Now, that I learnt about WILD I try it every night.
I haven't succeed so far. However, I noticed that the last 3-4 days I dreamt. Dreaming every night 3 times in a row is a bit strange for me.
I have already written 3 dreams in my journal. I do RCs as often as I can. The dreams are getting more and more longer, vivid and realistic (that's a kinda relative word for dreams). When I wake up I am 99.99% that I haven't dreamt that night but a few seconds or minutes later I remember everything.
In the last dream my classmates actually attempted LDing. It was funny because I still wasn't aware the fact that I was dreaming. I hope RC will help in these kind of cases.

My advices? What technique should I try?

BTW I use WILD only to have a dream because as I said I rarely have one. I attempted WILD when I went to bed. This time I'm going set my alarm to wake me up. I hope I get better results.

dild is probably best if you've just started. if you're set on wild, it'll take a bit of practice to achieve. don't bother trying to wild when you first go to bed, you're unlikely to gain anything but frustration. best time to wild is 5 or 6 hours after you first go to bed. good luck.

I just want to say that you are dreaming every night. If you didn't go through REM sleep (when the majority of remembered dreams occur) then you would not feel rested and after 60 days (as a fully grown adult-less for children) without REM sleep you would die. So the problem is that you have can't remember them. Good luck with your attempts!
