Hello Timespace and welcome to the class! If you would like to do stabilization first thing in the ld, then you have to indeed be able to recall this. You can remind yourself about this goal for your next ld throughout the day. It may be a good idea to use a mantra like, for example, "I become lucid, I stabilize". You can also do this at bedtime or if you have natural wakes during the night. This way you are boosting your chances for an ld as well as you recalling to stabilize.
