This is something that's been around my mind for a while and I'm still far from figuring out myself, so here we go.

Say that, when you're learning lucid dreaming, you rely mostly on DEILDs (for instance, although any other "wake induced" technique would do). You may have a random DILD now and then but you need to start the lucid from the waking state most of the time. After months and years of experience, do you still need to reach for the lucid dreams or does it ever come to a point where most of your lucids are DILDs without needing to "look for" them?
