onemoretime,
Although i dont know the mechanics of it i know its definitely possible to WILD on a night when you first lie down to sleep. Astral projection proves its possible to get otherworldly experiences before sleep and if you share the same mindset as me, you may believe astral projection and lucid dreams have a good chance of being the same phenomena. If this is the case i urge you to read up as much as you can on astral projection aswell because astral projection is primarily about achieving these experiences before sleep.

Remember you can take as much as you want from a subject, it doesn't mean you have to believe the entire thing.

One of the most inspiring subjects ive ever had the pleasure to read and be a part of is that of astral phasing. Methods to WILD and to phase are very similar (possibly because they share the same goal) but ive witnessed many people pick up and become very proficient at phasing. I think the reason for this is that while trying to WILD many dreamers become dismayed due to a lack of progression or realisation of the amount of practice its going to take, they then opt for easier methods such as MILD. Astral projectors and phasers usually dont have this luxury and stick with the methods until they become adept at them.

An excellent resource for phasing methods is astralpulse.com, search for posts by frank (The phasing god!)
For methods look up "Mental rundowns" and "The noticing excercise", the good thing about phasing is that even if your unsuccessful during practice you still have alot of fun and usually gain skill points on your visualisation meter during the process.

Hope this helps,
