Don’t even attempt WILD if you haven’t just awoken from a dream - It’s pretty much useless. WILD is going straight from the awake state to dreaming, but it won’t work if you got an hour of deep sleep between.
People claiming to have succeeded with WILD when first going to bed are most likely to have simply fallen asleep and then in REM remembered that he or she is dreaming- And this will feel like seconds since being awake, so they really think they did it. People who have really performed WILD after waking up knows that you really do go straight from being awake to dreaming, and there is no moment of amnesia or floating mindlessly in a bowl of nothing.
I suggest doing MILD when first going to bed, and then WILD when waking up at night or in the morning
