      Hello! Introduction & some questions :P

      Hello,

      I'm a 17 year old boy and have been reading up on lucid dreaming for a month or so now. Exactly one week ago I started seriously trying to induce lucid dreams. I considered DILD as my induction technique since I have pretty good natural dream recall (I usually recall 2 dreams every night, remembering the major theme and significant actions), but after reading about WILD's I found it much more interesting and decided to try it out.
      Now, I've been looking at Sageous' classes in the DA and have followed his instructions, combined with Naiya's tips and some more things I found on this site. I use WBTB of course, but it isn't really working as of yet. If I stay up for 20 minutes or less I mostly fall asleep before I can repeat my mantra 20 times, and when I stay up for longer I wake myself up too much and cannot get to sleep at all.

      The most significant issue I'm running into is that I cannot take my focus off my body; I know the sleep paralysis and numbness are not stages I should aim for, but I just can't ignore it. The only thing that can take my mind off my body's state is listening to music, which in turn makes it impossible to fall asleep.

      Now I'm thinking of trying FILD tomorrow morning (with a WBTB) and see what results I get with that. Do you guys have any other tips or do you know how I can improve my WILD's?

      BTW, one of my WILD attempts resulted in my first (5 second) lucid dream ever. If you want to read it, see below.
