As for techniques, I have a few favorites. MILD is, in my opinion, a really solid, basic induction technique. It reaches its greatest potential when paired with a WBTB, so my personal choice is to plan at least some WBTBs to help really boost your practice. I like Naiya's guide to MILD and its focus on imagination and visualization: http://www.dreamviews.com/attaining-...technique.html

A great way to get trained for a full WILD is to spend some time mastering DEILD in order to learn the feel of it. A DEILD is really just a WILD under extraordinarily ideal circumstances, so the skills should transfer. There are a couple of great guides for this on the site:

If you're looking for something more exotic, SSILD was a very fruitful tech for me. I do MILD now, but SSILD gave me a whole lot of LDs. My warning is that it's very exotic and nobody is completely sure of the reasons why it works. Still, it is surprisingly effective for many people. Here's the post about it: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...eam-ssild.html

Good luck with whatever you decide!
I've just finished checking out those guides you recommended. The technique i think best suits me at the moment is DEILD. I guess i'm just going to follow the guide and try it out for a while, see how it goes. Hopefully i have better luck with this.
