For me it took about a month or so. It helps if you try multiple techniques to see which one works for you.
A couple of things that helped me:
- Keeping a dream journal and focus on remembering your dreams when you wake up.
- Noticing typical dream signs and visualize doing a RC when you see one.
- WBTB (just to raise my awareness and then go back to sleep, not to WILD)
- Reality checks during the day (I find the nose-pinching one most reliable). Truely question reality, so don’t just do the move.
- Repeating a mantra with your goal for the night when going to bed
- Learning my sleep cycle and using sounds to trigger lucidness

Even though WILD seems the nicest method, it’s also the method at which most starters end up without any results and giving up. So try not to focus too much on that
