Hello. This is my first time posting on the DILD classes. I have been interested in Lucid Dreaming for years now and sadly I haven't experienced it once yet. Before starting to practice DILD, I practiced WILD and I got really close a lot of times, but I spent 6 months doing so and I feel sad that I didn't do it once. So I thought that starting from the beggining would be best for me, no matter how long it takes, I want to Lucid Dream at least once and then I can start thinking about more LD.

Okay so about the things I use for DILD:

Reality Checks:
I do the thumb-palm RC, I do it whenever I think about LD and I kind of think that it's not enough.

Dream Journal:
Before going to bed I tell myself to remember my dream tomorrow. I write them on my phone because writing on hand is difficult on a bed.

MILD:
Before going to bed I repeat the mantra "I am dreaming". While doing so I start visualizing how I do a RC and how I react, leading up to a fake LD of how things will turn out.

WBTB:
I have an alarm set 5 hours after falling asleep. I wake up and try to do the same thing as stated above, but I have not actually succeeded in WBTB yet. I get up think about Lucid Dreaming for 1 min and then for some reason go back to bed and fall asleep.

RRC
I try to think about LD all day long.

Goals:
Get my first LD!

Please tell me if I can improve on anything!
