Lucid Dreaming | Testing a SSILD variation: Continously staring forward

There seems to be some interest in my SSILD variation so I'll share it here.

SSILD variation: Continuously stare forward while falling asleep until you're dreaming. After your dream, do a reality check when you wake up.

If you're staring forward, you're doing it correctly. If you're not staring forward, you're not doing it correctly. Although this technique is simple, you will find that this is not exactly easy to do because it requires every bit of your attention. But the fact that it requires every bit of your attention is the reason it works. Don't think about when you are going to fall asleep or start dreaming because this will likely keep you awake. Just continuously stare forward with your eyes closed while in bed and see what happens.

From a good amount of testing I've done in the past, this technique seems to consistently increase awareness during dreams and cause false awakenings which are caught by doing reality checks when waking up. I am not sure if this technique causes increased lucidity during dreams that aren't false awakenings. I'm trying to find something to do after waking up that will help make that happen.

Doing no other techniques, I tested this technique for a month during November of 2014 and had 38 DILDs (18 of which were caught false awakenings) and 4 WILDs while becoming lucid 19/30 nights. I missed a good amount of false awakenings so I could have done better.

I'll test this technique for a couple of weeks and see what kind of results I get. You can test this as well if you like and post your results here.
