Hypnagogic hallucinations are not felt by everyone or with the same intensity, and are different from what you'd portrait as a "psychotic episode". WILD is much more like falling asleep than what people make it seem.



2 Lucid dreams in 5 months is a clear indication you're missing a key ingredient there. Give us as much information as you can and be honest, if you're doing 1 reality check or writing a word in your DJ 2 or 3 times a week you won't be able to attain very good results in lucid dreaming. The good news is that it's perfectly possible to attain a high lucid dreaming frequency with any of the techniques you described above
I, too have had very few LDs since learning about it in September. I'd like to know what I'm not doing. I keep a DJ, do RCs to an hourly bell on my phone, MILD, drink apple juice, then water at bedtime; I'm open to doing what I need to get lucid more often. I'm on DV daily reading and learning and I've read EWOLD and other books. I'd appreciate any help. And I have a buddy this month which has been great!
