Deatlev. I swear I will make you remember these acronyms!

WILD: anytime you go straight from waking to sleeping. Pretty WILD if you ask me.

DILD: anytime that you become lucid through the course of the dream.

Everything else is just a way to attain these two!

@ Joanna.
Thinking that you are the best is a great way to go about things. I have thought that with a past of dream related things, I should be able to be amazing at LDing. I don't know how much my past actually helped me, but I translated it over to a few different things "because I am getting 8 hours of sleep I will LD" "because I spent this much time on DV" "read ETWOLD" or my personal favorite that I use "because I saw the moon today, I will lucid tonight. " anything that you can convince yourself of should work in increasing % chance of an LD.
