This is frustrating but much better than failing by not being able to fall asleep. I just need to get the balance right. The only problem with my WILD attempts is that no matter how many times I try, every time it's different.

I think the "boiling a frog" metaphor is exactly right. Often when I visualise (post-wbtb) I can 'seed' a dreamscape or scene in my head fairly easily (via guided visualisation). However the dream sort of takes over by placing something unexpected in my scenery. I then get startled into consciousness. Its just like dropping the frog in the hot water, rather than gradually warming up.

In your case I would say try not to force it. It sounds like you are on the right path. And as you rightly point out every WILD scenario is different.
