But you can definitely do the MILD before bed. Still, you get to experiement to see what works best for you.
Yeah yeah, thats what I'll do. I'll focus on MILD before sleep and when DEILDing focus on the transition back into the dream

MILD Day 5
Throughout the day yesterday I was a bit lazy. I didn't practice much awareness and do many reality checks. I went to sleep at 00:45 and I done a little bit of dream incubation and said mantras before sleep. I had an alarm set at 04:00 to attempt a DEILD but at about 03:15 my brother started non stop coughing for about an hour, meaning I turned that alarm off as he kept me awake for an hour. I got up at 07:05 and then set another alarm at 09:00 to try a DEILD again. Then I was awoken by mum asking if I had been down the shops, which I had. I turned round looked at the time it was 08:59 exactly. The alarm sounded, I turned it off went to sleep normally. So basically my DEILD attempts were a big fail! But I did remember 3 dreams again. Also I will give the WILD and DEILD podcast a listen tonight.
