I agree. SSILD is in my opinion a great technique. This tech and improved dream recall is what finally got my lucid dreaming really going. If I a) get enough sleep and b) properly perform the technique without running into sleeping trouble, I am pretty much guaranteed a very vivid dream, false awakening, or LD.
There’s a long thread (or two-part series of threads) on SSILD where there’s been some good discussion. The technique’s author (cosmic.iron) participates fairly often and has given me a lot of great advice.
