I didn't get to update over the weekend so here's a quickie.

Recall Issues
I guess I am in the same boat as some of you others with the recall. For whatever reason its been relatively low. A few nights have been nothing at all and other have been 2 or 3 during the last REM cycle or two. It seems like the first of the night is a blank. I know a few reasons for this. It was a busy holiday with my side of the family and yesterday we had my wife's family for Thanksgiving. So much cooking and cleaning bleh. Other issues have been lack of sleep and it seems that my favorite lucid aid (alcohol) has been decided not to do anything for me but make me forget my dreams. Also I just haven't kept up with my DJ like I should. I recorded them on my phone but never really typed anything up.

Aids
I plan to start up a mango experiment instead of the B6 (thanks RC via CL). I don't know if it matters but I got a fresh mango as well at mango juice. I will test the two separately and see which is better assuming it does anything for me at all. (Apple juice had little effect). Other than that I plan to purge my system of all supplements including the day time ones.

Techniques
SSILD. I think SSILD either just stopped working or I am too tired or I have lost interest. I'm not sure which. Maybe all the above. I think the answer is to forget about it until another time. I do plan to continue my tweak version just with less SSILDness. I will probably just go straight into visual,hearing,feeling simultaneously with concentrating on maintaining awareness.

Another thing I want to start doing is setting an alarm to go off every 2 hours in order to increase my recall and induction opportunities. I tested this the other night and it didn't seem to disrupt my sleep to the point that I feel deprived.

DILDs are almost non-existent. I am not sure why. I keep up with awareness as much as I can in the daytime. That's all you can really do.

MILDs have always been mildly successful. Rarely do I see any effect. I should look in it more.

Mantra's see to help me remember things after waking. Like recall, DEILDing, ect.

WILDs are my favorite. I think it is because I feel more in control of my success rather than leaving it up to chance. Maybe that's just my personality. I do have more success with it and I am slowly getting better at DEILDing from NLDs. My transitions always begin like OBEs. Its great but I usually struggle with getting out of my house. It sometimes becomes a huge battle to leave the house. I also struggle with blindness but I can usually use it to my advantage and just feel my way out. Once I lose focus on the fact that I am blind I usually gain sight. I plan to work on these issues thank to a few ideas I go from Paigey. Thanks Paigeyemps!

By the way. I'll probably not be on much until the forum issues are fixed. I love dreamviews and everything they are tying to do but its barely functional for me right now.
