It takes time, just keep trying and it may work for you. After about a week or so with no success, you can try another technique.

MILD takes a while to get used to. Keep at it and i promise you that it will wokr after it has set in internally. alternatively try another technique.
What precisely is your MILD technique consisting of?

Typing in caps and demanding isn't going to help. Be patient.

I've only started to try MILD myself.

It had only been 3 hours since you made your post, lots of posts here don't get answered for a while, days, sometimes. Don't get all mad if your post doesn't get answered in 3 hours.

Most lucid techniques take upwards of about a month to work for most people. This number varies greatly, but the norm is usually between one and two months for the first lucid. The only exception to this rule is WILD, which I view as far too much work, but that's just me.

This is true, too. Some people are a lot better suited to some techniques than others. If you wake up naturally during the night, any of the WBTB techniques would suit you well. If you have a stellar memory, DILD and MILD techniques may be a better fit.

MILD takes a while to work. It must become a piece of your routine behavior. The rewards, however, are well worth it, as the effort you're required to put into it gradually decreases over time.

A week may be a bit narrow of a time frame, but it's worth a shot, I guess. Just be careful of bouncing back and forth between techniques randomly; I strongly recommend picking one or two and sticking with them, as all techniques are effective on some level, and all will become more effective and easier to do over time.

Binaural beats are not technically a part of the MILD method. They are a type of lucid aid. The mantra is good, but absolute focus is not necessary. I would also recommend doing your mantra throughout the day, if possible, as this will make things go a bit faster. I would also recommend trying to increase your day-to-day awareness by paying more attention to everything. Easier said than done, believe me.

If you generally find it easy to relax emotionally and mentally then your entrainement should have a linear ramp down from 15 Hz to 6.5 Hz over a time of about 10 minutes. You should then listen to the 6.5 Hz tone for 5 minutes before using your mantra. Your mantra should be believable to you. If you don't believe your mantra you will be reinforcing the opposite of your mantra. Use isochronic tones instead of binaural. Get a copy of neuro programmer 3 as you have a 14 day trial.

For a while, untill school and a few other things made me tone down my lucid dreaming for a while, I was getting pretty consistent results. If you haven't read the passage on MILD from EWOLD I highly reccomend it - after all, it was written by the man who created the technique. One important thing LaBerge mentions is the most important factor was telling himself to remember to recognie he was dreaming. Also, nowhere in the passage does he specifically reference the use of a directive as a mantra. MILD isn't really about saying anything, it's about feeling it. Consider this, when in waking life you want to remember to do something at a later point, do you recite to yourself over and over "I will do X" for 10 minutes? I always had the best results with MILD when I set my intention before bed to remember to recognize that I was dreaming, then kept that in mind as I fell asleep. It's about putting yourself in the mindset that you will remember to recognize that you're dreaming, and to me it seems that overly verbalizing the idea tends to rob the emotional side of it. In other words, it's not enough to tell yourself to remember, you have to feel that you will remember.

Perhaps I tend to be a more conceptual thinker, but this always seemed to be the most direct and effective method.

What tutorials do you all feel covers the mild well?(NEWB)

Read exploring the world of lucid dreaming. It explains everything about MILD... As, it was written by the creator of the technique.
