Wake-induced lucid dream (WILD)

The wake-initiated lucid dream ...[blah blah blah ]... Users of this technique often count, envision themselves climbing or descending stairs, chanting to themselves, exploring elaborate, passive sexual fantasies, controlling their breathing, concentrating on relaxing their body from their toes to their head, allowing images to flow through their "mind's eye" and envisioning themselves jumping into the image...[/b]
I don't remember why I was looking up WILDing on wikipedia, probably just out of interest, but there are a couple of techniques there that I haven't heard before: climbing stairs and exploring sexual fantasies. Are these genuine? I haven't heard of them before. How exactly do they work?
