Hi everybody, it's me, someone you don't know yet!

I've been trying to lucid dream for two or three weeks but still no success.
I'm also keeping a dream journal, though I don't update it as much as i should (I'm having trouble remembering dream when I have to wake up early for school.)
I'm achieving some results with time, like last sunday I wrote 8 pages for a single dream! (All right, it's a pocket notebook I'm using as a dream journal, but it's still the one I remember best.)

About the techniques, I'm currently trying DILD.
I'm really not good at fooling myself, so MILD is too difficult for me (or maybe I just didn't understand how MILD works).
I'm a little scared about trying WILD but I should definitely do it.

I'm doing some random reality check, some I do when I remember (but not as much I should, I'm the kind that easily forgets about things), some other I just do them when I see something particular (like if I see a clock, I'll probably "test" it).

...aaand, nothing more actually, just a question:
Since I've been doing reality checks I usually wake up in the middle of the night for no reason at all (literally the middle, I go to sleep at 23/11PM and wake up at 2AM when I should wake up a 6AM.)
Is it normal?

PS: I know the rules really don't encourage it but I welcome grammar nazis, I really need to make my english better.
