RILD stands for "Rhythm Induced Lucid Dream." I don't believe it's an official technique, but the user "Harionago" posted a tutorial under the "Attaining Lucidity" sub-forum (If that's the correct term).
I tried this technique last night, but I think I woke myself up before I was in my REM cycle. I will try it over the weekend now and hope for the best.

I am keeping a dream journal, by the way. I've heard a lot of good things about it so I decided to start one last week. So far it hasn't helped me attain lucidity, but I will keep at it and hope for the best. I can usually remember my dreams, but I have trouble writing them on paper. I may get a tape-recorder so I can record my dreams faster, but I'm not sure about that yet. I've also been performing reality checks 12-18 times a day, so I'm hoping that helps as well.
