Just a few minutes to write tags(15-20mins expanding in DJ when I have a break) and affirmations as I fall asleep.

I was mainly referring to WILD. How do you do multiple WILDs (attempts?) in one night without losing lots of sleep? Well, I haven't tried recently but it always took some time to get even close (except once but that was a DEILD). Maybe I'll just go to bed now and try again

The other technique I use is SSILD. While it's quite effective for me it sometimes messes up my sleep and so it's not the best if I've got to get up early for work. But on the weekend that's okay, and I'll have some fun figuring out lots of false awakenings.

I hope you're right and you'll get there, too. How often do you lucid dream at the moment?

For my WILDs, I dont stay up for a long time like in WBTB. My alarm wakes me up, turns itself off after 15 seconds and I go right back to bed. Sometimes I'm up for such a brief amount of time that I dont even remember it going off in the morning when I get out of bed. This way I have a couple attempts at WILD per night and they each only take like 1 minute from my sleep.

I havent heard of SSILD before, I just read a tutorial on reddit and it seems even better than my WILD technique! I'm totally going to try it out!

I rarely lucid dream, maybe one barely lucid dream every couple weeks. I just started though, I'm sure within a few months it will be a lot better! Especially if I incorporate that SSILD technique
