Update!
I've been stuck with a cold since friday, and sunday I decided to stay up as long as possible since I thought lucids would be out of reach until I recovered. I stayed up until 5:30 p.m. Monday until I wanted to try WILD. That was an utter failure. When I woke up at like 4:30 a.m. today , I wanted to sleep but couldn't. Then around seven, I remembered that if you turn the volume down really low, just above comprehensible, it could help LD. I did so, (this happened 15 minutes ago. still fresh) and when my eyes were closed for a time, I could feel a twitch in my mind. I sort of had HI but I wasn't sure. Then it happened; All in my eyes went grey/green and I heard in a robotic voice saying "your dreaming" over and over. So I started counting trying to transition. I pictured a ledge, and a green claw suddenly was on it. I didn't reach lucidity though, as I snapped out of it. I tried to hold my breath hoping it was a false awakening, but it wasn't. Well progress is progress.
