New Lucid Dreamer

[Imaginer1]

I just joined Dreamviews because it seemed like a supportive site. Hello people! I really hope my time here will help me become a lucid dreamer. I have been trying to lucid dream for a while now. I have been using the MILD technique and do quick reality checks every time I go through a doorway (to make them frequent) the last time I lucid dreamed was an accidental DILD. I noticed myself in my sister's room. It was somewhat blurry and dark. I proboably didn't start the dream here, but it's the point at which I start to remember. I couldn't tell if my dream body was squinting, but I was scared that if I attempted to open my dream body's eyes then I would open my own eyes. I hoped for the worst and spun around, thinking maybe my dreaming was over and attempting to increase it. I then woke up. Now, I have been trying to MILD for about a week or two to no success. I remember about 9-10 dreams a week, but I have not become lucid after that accidental dream. Should I change methods if I get no success? I have read about the pros and cons of WILD, but I have not succeeded with it. Any tips on any of my questions?
