Hey guys , I just wanted to share my experience from the last day . A bit of history : been trying for an year (at least ) now , I changed up tactics a few times (tried WILD-s , WBTB-s ) with close to none success (no direct methods worked , just had some short DILDs) .
So in the last week or so I started reading some more again , and decided to go for the indirect methods . I'm too lazy to keep a dream journal for now (tried it in the past , but I just haven't refined a way to keep journaling (not get too lazy) ) , but I do remember a lucid dream every time (however little times there were) .
The method is viable for the people that spend more time on their computers , but I believe it can be adapted otherwise too .I noticed that I hear my mobile phones ring tone even if it's not ringing now and then and thought that a frequent very distinct sound could be a very good indicator to make a reality check , since there's a good chance the noise will appear now and then even without you hearing it . So I scheduled a beep (freq:1500, for some reason I think higher frequencies will appear easier in the mind) to go off every 15 minutes .
And it did , and every 15 mins I made a RC (I tried to float) . Now what I'm happy and in the same time frustrated about is that the night after I started doing that I had a dream that was vivid and very weird (a dog with wings ) and I did remember to RC , but the stupid RC (floating) didn't work . So now I'm changing up RCs but I'm pretty bumped about not being able to say that the new technique worked the first day 
I'd be very interested to get feedback from someone else that tries it . Here's what I did for Linux by the way :
Look up some info of how crontab (a scheduling servise) works - it's very simple . In short :
chrontab -l // to see what tasks there already are
chrontab -e //to open the config file (best choose nano when prompted)
there's an explanation about how crontab works in the file itself . Here's what I added :
15 * * * * /home/lucid.sh
30 * * * * /home/lucid.sh
45 * * * * /home/lucid.sh
0 * * * * /home/lucid.sh
ctrl-X to exit , Y to save the file
and in lucid.sh there's just :
modprobe pcspkr; //to activate the pc speaker because it's inactivated by default in the kernel
beep -f 1500 //do the beep
