You can start trying to get your Dream Recall better while trying MILD at the same time.
There is a topic about remembering dreams here. Some forms of trying to get your dream recall better has a lot in common with MILD. Since MILD is a form of autosuggestion and autosuggestion can be used to remember your dreams. (tell yourself that you are dreaming)
When using MILD, you could also adjust the mantra to what you want. For example you can say “In my dream I will realise that I’m dreaming and I will remember this dream” instead of “In my dream I will realise that I’m dreaming”. You don’t have to use these, but I hope you got the point.
