Great!

Anyway yesterday I didn't attempt a WBTB or MILD. To be honest, I think I slacked off a little yesterday, which I shouldn't have done. I had a lot to do. I tried to do RC's as often as i could, and RRC's as often as I could. I didn't really repeat mantra's or visualize either. I should have put more effort in, I guess I was just busy and didn't feel motivated, but that's why most fail, right? I just have to be consistent and put the effort in. Do you have any suggestions for motivation?
Go back and read some of your favorite dreams from your DJ. Even regular dreams can be very fun to relive through reading them. I say this often but when I do go and read some of mine it really surprises me how much of a boost it gives me. Also, a competition is good motivation, check this out, lower league you can still get rack up good points for recall and if you get lucid during the competition, how great would that be! Many beginners in there, don't be shy..it will probably start in several days but the host will let us know...Link: http://www.dreamviews.com/general-lu...read-16-a.html

So yeah I went to sleep, and I hoped that I would wake up naturally again so I could record my dream, but I didn't. I suspect it's because I didn't follow my regular sleep schedule. And I think I read that it's important to go to bed and wake up at the same time, I will try that.
So I woke up later, and I remembered one dream, it was very short, but instead of only remembering the scene and setting, I actually remembered some of the plot too and what I was doing.
Good, this is progress!

So I will try this out, and maybe attempt a MILD+WBTB. Do you think it's a good idea to try it out or not? Should I only focus on DILD and improving recall? Anyway, I'll repeat the mantra and visualize before I go to bed, in addition to doing it in daytime.
Thank you
Sure, they use a lot of the same components. What does your MILD consist of?
