Hey guys,

I've been practicing LDing for about a week now. Writing in my DJ every morning if I can recall anything, doing reality checks often, and napping daily to attempt WILDs etc.
But I'm having some difficulties I'd like some help with.

1) The past week I've remembered about 3 dreams a night. But the last 2 nights, I remember TINY snippets of dreams. Is there something I could be doing wrong?

2) When I wake up in the middle of the night to WILD, I forget I'm going to WILD, so I just turn my alarm off, grumble, and go back to sleep! Any tips to stop doing this? I also forget to write in my DJ...

3) When I try to WILD in the middle of the night, I always fall asleep, I can't stay awake/aware enough I just fall back asleep. It's quite frustrating because I feel like I've wasted an opportunity. Any tips to stop doing this as well?

4) When I try to WILD during a nap, I have problems getting in between being too awake/aware and falling asleep. I relax myself, my body goes numb (not SP yet) and it's really hard for me to get into SP, and if I do it usually slips away and after that it's all over. I can't get the onset of SP going again I have to get up for some reason. It's frustrating. Any tips?

5) I RC as much as I can. I have RC written on my palms, thumbs, and the backs of my hands as reminders. I have "Am I dreaming?" written on my whiteboard in my room. I feel like I still don't see my hands enough to RC as often as I'd like. I do it about 30 times a day. I'm wondering if this is enough and if you guys have ideas on better reminders to RC and stuff like that.

Also any other tips for a beginner LDer! Thank you.
