Hello, I have tried a couple a techniques to try to get my first lucid dream and I have a couple of questions before my 7th attempt.

The 2 techniques I tried are WILD and SSILD. Here's how it went:

1st attempt I woke up early and tried WILD. I ended up falling asleep but had a dream that I clearly remember. It was about answering multiple choice questions and I remember looking around at them.

Skipping ahead to shorten, can add more if needed.

5th attempt I woke up early and tried SSILD. I went through the cycles and then went to sleep and had a very vivid and long dream that I clearly remember.

6th attempt is SSILD, had a dream but don't remember it. Woke up for a few seconds and thought, "I had a dream about that?" But forgot it.

And now for the questions.
Which technique should I try again tonight?
I have not been setting an alarm, just telling myself to wake up at a certain time which usually works, is this ok?

Oh and every time I wake up to do these techniques I have a song stuck in my head that just plays over and over, even if I couldn't remember any song just before I first went to sleep.

Thanks for your help and feel free to put any tips you might have for getting my first lucid dream.
