I have a question for the teachers, What are the major differences between DILDs and MILDs as a MILD seems like a subset of a DILD.
Great question and yes, you've got it right. Think of DILD and WILD as the two broad categories that cover basically all lucid dreaming induction techniques.

With one of the DILD techniques, you are attempting to become aware spontaneously while already inside of a dream. MILD is the classic way of willfully initiating a DILD. But sometimes DILDs just happen from out of nowhere. An accidental DILD is what made me discover lucid dreaming.

Techniques in the WILD family involve keeping yourself aware the entire time as you transition from awake to asleep. This can be the classic WILD, where you simply lie down, try not to move too much, and fall asleep with your awareness still intact. DEILD is also in the WILD family, but it involves bringing your awareness back during a micro-awakening, and then diving back into sleep as soon as possible, hoping to go right back into REM.

Also my dream recall is pretty terrible with one full detailed dream a night being an achievement.
Yes, let's tackle this. Are you maintaining a written or electronic dream journal? If not, this is the first stop for improving recall. Write down everything you can remember about your dreams, even fleeting fragments or emotions.

When you wake up, try not to move until you've recalled as many dreams as you can. You'd be surprised what a little effort can bring. The other night I pulled an entire dream back up by just writing down that I felt "vaguely anxious" and thinking about what else I could remember. Then I remembered "sand", and after that the rest of the dream came tumbling back. Putting in that effort and focus is a huge part of what makes good dream recall happen.

If you continue to have dream recall trouble after you start your dream journal, don't worry. We've all worked through building (and repairing) our dream recall, so we can help you there.

Let us know how the WBTB goes! WBTB takes some work, but it's amazing at enhancing techniques of both the WILD and DILD family. Oh, and...
