Yeah that's pretty much how it went for me when I started practicing for DILDs. At that point I hadn't even started using awareness as my main form of practice. The WILD method is something I'm really looking forward to acquiring proficiency at some point in my practice. It would be an incredible resource to have in the bag to use for acquiring lucidity. The problem I have with it right now, is the tightness of my schedule as of this moment, due to the upcoming tests and long hours of study that I devote to most of the days. Likewise, I tend to have some difficulty with getting to sleep in the nights, which adds to the impatience that I regularly feel when attempting WILDs. All this and the difficulty that I have with successfully inducing WILDs are the reason I chose and prefer right now the relatively easiness of the DILD practice.
