First of all i do understand that Ld’ing takes patience but its been over a year now and ive only had one really short one.
To give a bit of background in general i have good recall, ive been keeping a DJ for over a year and during that time been practicing MILD regularly. ALso more recently maybe the last 6 months ive been doing regular RC’s and over this summer break i have been attempting WILD and still only one small LD.
Sorry for a bit of a long post but is there anything else i can throw in to help to acheive another LD , hopefully in less time than another year 
thanks in advance
Don’t worry so much! 
If you’ve been studying LDs for this long, then i guarantee you’re going to snap into one anytime soon, probably even randomly. That’s what happened to me. You’ve already had one, so the rest will come easier. You have to KNOW that you CAN and WILL. If you beat yourself up about it you are only assigning negative thoughts to LDing, which can hinder your progress.
I wouldn’t worry about WILD just yet, you might be putting too much pressure on the subject. I suggest simply going to bed normally at night and setting an alarm about 5 hrs into the night, only to remind you about dreaming, then just go right back to sleep.
This website helped me out a lot and has a bunch of advice i haven’t seen elsewhere: https://web.archive.org/web/20091018190441/https://geocities.com/alex_sumner/lucid2.htm
Good luck! You’ve got this
Thanks alot for that in depth reply
ill take your advice and avoid WILD, set the alarm and check that site out!
Sometimes if you try too hard it won’t come. It sounds to me that maybe you should switch around with other techniques. I don’t think MILD is for you. Just wondering, which technique led you to your first LD? I encourage you to keep trying with WILD, it takes some time to get it working for you. Took me a couple months 
. Be more confident in yourself, it’s very important that you believe you can do it. Get yourself motivated by reading DJs and know that you can do the same as everyone else. Make sure that when you RC, you’re really taking your time to see if it’s a dream. If you’re struggling with WILDing ask questions. There are plenty of dreamers on IRC willing to help. 
My first LD was from WBTB and a failed WILD as i fell asleep and later on in the dream i just randomly realised i was dreaming
ill maybe give it some more time then, i think im motivated enough as ive taking learning about dreaming and practicing it as bit of a hobby but as you say maybe im trying too hard.
Thanks alot for the reply!
