I've had 20 DILDs of my 25 lucid dreams, though the last five that I've had have been aided by using auto-suggestion as I fall asleep, asking my subconscious to allow me to have a lucid dream that night. I combine this with a WBTB to ensure I'm mentally awakened, and that the auto-suggestion will work. I think what I'm doing is close to MILD, but isn't actually a MILD as I'm not doing everything involved with one.
