MILD
Today was the secondf day I tried MILD. There was less tension that on the first day, where my obcession with steps 3 and 4 occupied almost my entire night.
Today I was able to do all steps and sleep, but there is a problem. Usually I recall 3 to 5 dreams per night, been doing that for the past 3 months. All of a sudden, as soon as I tried the technique today I recalled a snippet of a dream and that's it... Is it a normal occurrence? Should I go back and concentrate only on dream recall again?
I haven't had this experience with MILD specifically, but if I get too focused on the particulars of a technique, my dream recall indeed tends to crash. So I'd say it's possible that you were a bit too focused on the different steps or on the idea that this would make you lucid.
