My false awakening most of the time start with my dream eyes closed though.

You can move during WILD too, staying still was never a focus of WILD method and WILD-based techniques, it helps falling asleep but it's never something to concentrate on.

Could be the same reason as WILD, falling asleep with intention, right mindset and increased awareness increases chances of DILDs when WILD fails(The reason i like using both methods together, if one fails, other can succeed still).

Yes, but you still dream about waking up. What n00b is either doing or dreaming about is just laying on his bed, trying to fall asleep. I suppose in most FA's you are aware that you "woke up". If you didn't "wake up", it's not a false awakening.

SSILD could go both ways, that's one of the things that I find interesting about it.
