I've had 7 LD's since the 9th of November when I found this site. None of them have been very long, or at least they didn't seem to be very long. I'm not keeping a nightly dream journal, mostly because I can usually remember one to two dreams per night without it, so I didn't see the point. I thought that was pretty normal for most people, but maybe not. I also am strange in that I don't usually do any of the methods, it just happens. However before I go to sleep, I firmly tell myself that I will have an LD tonight and that I will stay calm, cool and collected and I will remember to do a reality check, and I will recall the dream when I awake. It seems to work well for me. I've attempted to do a few WILD's, but I can't seem to do it because if I become completely awake during the night it will take me a good hour to hour and a half to go back to sleep. I've counted to 300-400 a couple of times before giving up on a WILD and just allowing my mind to wander to go to sleep. WBTB seem to work pretty good. I just drink a extra cup of water before bed to make myself have to get up around 3am and then when I go back to sleep I think about LD's I've had in the past and I can usually LD.

My goal now is to have a longer LD! I need to work on controlling my excitedness. (is that even a word )
