WARNING!Long post ahead!
You have been warned!
Alright so I first found out about LD while looking for ways to do Astral projection.At first I thought it is too hard for me so I just ignored it.Some years ahead in 2013 I found some inner motivation to start training.ilooked through the tch and I choosed the DILD method combined with the MILD tech.I started to do a lot of RCs,I was doing the finger through the palm one and the one where every time you change the location you ask yourself how did you got there.I was doing the RCs like this:Right before performing it I was asking myself if I am dreaming then I was saying "If this is a dream then my finger should pass through the palm" then I was trying to pass my finger through the palm.After doing this I was saying "My finger is not passing through my palm so this is not a dream".Before going to sleep I was visualising my first LD and then say some mantras like I have a LD tonight.I had a dream journal.I ended up losing motivation 'cause nothing happend.Then this year i decided that i should get back to training.Now i am ready to wait as long as its needed.I am doing the same things adding to them this tech called CANWILD from your forums.I no longer keep a DJ because i can remember at least two dreams or one every night.I also do the nose plug RC and in my dreams I see messages about LD and me training but I still cant wake up to have an LD.
Question time now.
1.Am I on the right track doing what I do?
2.With aproximation how long will it be till my first LD?(no depends on person answer)
3.In techs where you have to wake up 6 hours after falling asleep lets say at 23:00 and I put my alarm at 05:00 but I fall asleep at 23:30 without reseting the alarm.Does this thing interfer with the tech or it dosent matter?
I think this is all.Sorry for long post and please help.

Welcome to the forum, and let me answer your questions to my full ability. (I'm a Dream Guide, so it's kinda my job to help you with anything you ask.)

1) So far, it looks pretty good. You seem to be doing RCs correctly, and make sure you are dream journaling a ton! Whenever you can! However much you can! No matter how small, it all counts!
That's what she said

2) Depends on person Depends on dedication, environment, and more dedication. It truly does differ from person to person. I can't answer it more true than that.

3) It probably wouldn't make much of a difference, but incase you are really worried, just set it 30 minutes ahead of your current time, so attempt to sleep at 23:00, and set the alarm for 5:30 if you are that concerned. I am assuming you are talking about WBTB by the way.

Welcome, again, and hope you enjoy your stay, and hope I helped at least a little bit.

Cheers,
