Thanks guys that sounds like good advice! In all the info I've read about WILDs I never saw anyone mention that it's not the best way to start out as a beginner with not a lot of LD experience. Maybe I won't worry about WILDing so much until I have a few more LDs under my belt.

I think the LDs I have had were DILDs (that means I was in a dream and something just kind of spontaneously made me realize I was dreaming right?), and I use MILD and VILD (telling yourself you're going to be in a dream soon and picturing yourself in a dream until you start to see HI or something along those lines?) to help myself fall asleep.
