is it possible to train your mind to recognize when you are dreaming so well that DILDs will no longer just become a random event?
Anyone already done this?

Try a MILD it's similar, but less random.
It is possible, yes. It takes lots of practice, though.
MILD + DILD together gives you pretty high chances. You'd have to have a lot of willpower, and time to train yourself to be able to do it at will every night though.
My version of MILD is kind of DILD anyway. Some nights, i only focus on my intent to lucid dream without repeating the mentra at all, and find success.
This is kind of happening to me, actually. I rarely use an actual method for inducing lucid dreams anymore; I just all of a sudden know I'm dreaming, no RCs even. I usually just use reality checks for maintaining lucidity anymore. In fact, I'd say almost every night now I know I'm dreaming, but at the same time, quite frequently I don't connect that knowledge with what's going on and such. It's like my sleeping mind thinks: "OH, I'm dreaming! Too bad this isn't a lucid dream..." instead of "OH, I'm dreaming! That means I'm lucid right now!"
I could see this being the case with a lot of people, actually. They just never realize that they know they're dreaming...if that makes sense. But working on getting your mind over that problem would be well worth it, since then you could have lucid dreams every night with no day-time effort put into it at all :)
