I am very new but highly motivated after my friend told me about LD-ing. I really love the concept and it does seem plausible but I can’t start without having the right method. I have been keeping a journal but have only had one dream in the past three days. This was mere coincidence because I did nothing that night to try to induce it. I tried WILD but that is very tough because my concentration usually breaks. I am thinking as a starting point I will try to induce dreams at least with MILD.
If anyone wants to help me out I usually sleep from 10:30-6:30 (8 hours) and I am a high school student so I have a little stress when it comes to school. I am an extremely light sleeper when I am not really tired but a heavy sleeper most of the time. I also fall asleep listening to “nature sounds” music.
If you’ve only had one dream in the last three days you should practice remembering your dreams first. You can read the guide, if you haven’t already, to get some tips.
I suggest doing some reality checks or doing the FILD technique. You could even try both at the same time.
KEEP THE MUSIC. Good man for falling asleep with music. that will lead you to way more vivid dreams later on. Also, try foods (cheese chocolate) watch movies, use iTunes visualizers, all that stuff.
remember, the most important thing early on is recall, the better the recall the more LD’s later. my normal suggestion is one month of straight recording of ND’s, then try to LD.
I say this because with ND’s theres a clear goal and it is much more simple, and keeps you motivated rather than going 2 weeks with no LD’s and giving up.
Welcome to the forum.
Good luck, you’ll need it. 
Hey there! Welcome! Let me start off by saying that you did not have one dream in 3 nights. and MILD and WILD are not necessarily meant to induce an ND. Whether or not you know it, you dream a lot every night. It sounds to me like you just have bad dream recall. When you get a weekend without any school related activities, try to set an alarm to wake you up about 6 hours or so after you fall asleep. when you wake up just remain in the position that you were in when you were sleeping. Hopefully a dream will come back to you. It’s usually very succesful. I have nights where I wake up and say to myself “What the ****, why can’t i remember any dreams from last night?!?!” but i remain still and eventually at least one comes to me.
Another powerful tool is Autosuggestion. Just repeat to yourself “I will fully remember my dreams.” Or “I will wake up after i dream” Do this while you fall asleep and it should stay in your subconcious and it should work wonders.
Now, as to what technique you should use… keep in mind that MILD and WILD are meant to induce LD’s!!! not ND’s. Believe it or not, you have loads of ND’s every night. You just can’t remember them! So don’t use MILD or WILD to induce an ND, try to use them to induce an LD. The technique that you use is entirely up to you. whatever appeals to you should work fine. (I’m assuming that with school and everything, WBTB won’t do so well for you 
)
Hope that helps! and sorry it’s so long… I had to get my thoughts out.
Well, thank you for the info and the greeting. My intentions at the moment are just to get a very good dream recall going and then getting into LD-ing I don’t really want to burn myself out trying or expect to much. I just want to take it slow.
I will probably begin doings RCs and trying to recall as much as possible from my dreams. Once I feel I can vividly remember my dreams I will have a much better passage to try to LD.
I am still taking tips into consideration. Thank you.
