About a year ago, I made lazy attempts to LD for about 2 months before summer started and I simple gave up. However recently, I have decided to possibly start trying again. I would like a few questions answered for me.

1. How often, once you understand how to do it effectively, can you LD? I would be the happiest person alive if I was able to have a good LD at least once or twice a week. Is that possible? If I only have one once in a while, it is honestly not worth it for me (or is it?)

2. I have asked this before, but I would like to hear more answers. Really, how clear are LDs?

3. I have horrible dream recall. Maybe one small dream a month. Can I LD without taking the time to work up my dream recall with a journal? Will the actual LD still be clear and rememberable? It wouldnt make sense if I couldn't remember it, considering I am fully aware while in the dream right? It would be just like remembering a movie I watched yesterday.

4. I'll admit that I am terrified to attempt WILD. But at the same time I desperately want to do it because it seems like the best and most effective way to LD without having to spend months training. The thought of hearing sounds and possibly seeing nightmare-ish hallucinations scares the shit out of me. Any suggestions or insight?

5. If I want to be semi-lazy and unorganized in training (meaning I don't want to dedicate myself to any strict routines), what is the best way to to LD? I am guessing that simply doing reality checks as often as possible is the best way for me?

6. Finally, if LDing is real, why doesn't everybody do it. To be honest, I have never heard of anybody LDing except for on the internet. You would think that something so amazing like being able to control your dreams would get around to everyone. This makes me slightly doubt the fact the LDing is actually possible.
