I dont do mantras...they are not required. Ajanime22 is correct...it is a mindset you develop. And it definitely takes a soft touch. If I try too hard it doesnt happen. It is more like when you think "I need to wake up at 6 am tomorrow." Somehow you subconscious does it effortlessly. Also there are lots of factors that affect LDs. Most of us cant make them happen every night... I have about 1 a week...but it is pretty effortless. But I do WBTB by having a bathroom break at 4:30 or 5. And if I had a dream I recalled at that time I just think "I am due for an LD." And that is usually when it happens...
