Paralysis

So, I am at an impasse. I have been faithfully DJing, as you can see, for the last 50 days. Nearly two months, now. My ability to recall dreams is much better than it has ever been before. I can say that I have progressed that much, at least. Lately my DJ activity has dipped (in terms of # of dreams per night) but mostly because I have been too lazy/tired to write them down during whenever I wake up. I feel like if I were to read over my entire DJ I would see that I am way too scatterbrained in terms of my efforts and attempts at induction techniques. The only thing I have done consistently is DJ and RC during the day. I think it is time for me to quit messing around and finally pick a technique to work on. So I have strained all of the excess techniques and left my two favorites: The CAN WILD technique, developed on this forum, and the MILD technique by the big man himself, <PERSON>. Pros of CANWILD: -LD at will, essentially. -Seems like it would get concrete results quicker. Cons of CANWILD: -Sleep Paralysis. I do not like the idea of the hallucinations. Though my fear of SP may create a self defeating mindset. If I quit fearing it and just rolled with it I may be OK. Pros of MILD: -No sleep paralysis. -Seems more organic. Cons of MILD: -A bit harder to actually do consistently with all of the steps through the day that are required. Suggestions? And my fragment from last night: I dreamt about this remnant that had been passed down a million different times abs touched a bunch of different times. Each time it got touched the person touching it imparted some sort of detail upon it.
