then when you begin your mnemonic part like "the next place i'll be will be a dream... then next place..."
then uncross your legs to a relaxed position hopefully all that visualizing previous dreams and imagining reality checking, imagining doing chosen task, etc will have tired you out so you get back to sleep fast (from your WBTB)

Last night I (sort of) followed your advice. After waking up and going to the toilet I sat straight up in my bed with the lights off and started visualising and using a mantra. I also performed a few cycles of SSILD and then made myself comfortable and continued the SSILD cycles.

Happy to say I did finally become lucid again, though for an insanely short time. Basically what happened was that I woke up in bed, looking at the wallpaper. I noticed that it was the wallpaper from my little brother's room, which gave me the very strong feeling that I was dreaming. I told myself to remain calm and attempted to push my fingers through my palm, but failed. Nevertheless I was still quite sure I was dreaming, but at that point I either woke up or had an FA.
