Another question, does age affect learning to lucid dream? I'm 16 and read somewhere that as you get older it gets harder to lucid dream.

MILD usually means filling waking life with reality checks, and after months of making it a habit, you just hope to do one in a dream.

This is very sloppy and still relies mostly on luck.

the only way to induce LDs at will is to WILD. i recommend using a timer on your PC, like the one on lucidology.com (which is free btw, otherwise i wouldnt have it).

the thing is that when you wake up, and don't move AT ALL (don't even move your eyes), sleep paralysis (which is useful for getting into LDs) becomes very likely.

You can have pretty good results using only the night time practice of MILD, without any of the other stuff. Just figure out how to use your short-term prospective memory in the middle of the night.

Not true.
