Should I not be attempting to WILD until I have more experience?

[agentwiggles]

Pretty much self explanatory from the thread title. I don't have very much experience with LDing in general, my dream recall isn't very good either. Still, though, I try to WILD occasionally. Am I wasting time by attempting this when my dream recall and reality checks aren't really up to par? I had purchased some galantamine a while back but I decided to hold off on it until I got better at LDing naturally - don't want to come to rely on it so I think it's important to get the basics down before I try using a supplement. Anyway, just wanted the opinions of some more experienced dreamers, I've been trying to get into it for a while and this current attempt has been my most successful so far in terms of journaling, etc. Thanks!

Attempting to WILD while still working on dream recall/RCing isn't a problem. The idea of WILDing is to enter a lucid dream directly and its supposed to help with your ability to recall. Also, RCs are more of a check that you are in a lucid dream after WILDing and more centered around DILDs

It really just depends on the person. I started with WILDs and have by far the most success with them. RCs are for DILDs more than WILDs. I was WILDing long before I started doing RCs. But if you are interested in dreaming good recall is a must.
