The mantras work well,
'I'll be aware of waking after every dream' works. I wake up a lot in the middle of the night.
I just cant consciously get to the DEILD though...I feel groggy...tired..delirious..and I fail getting into it because I'm just a bit confused as to what's going on and my mind is too busy set on the previous dream I had. I think about it constantly while awake, as if it was real, trying to solve problems that I had in that dream, or planning this, that, whatever was raised in the dream, I attempt to think about.

Any tips for a successful DEILD?
