I just discovered lucid dreaming not too long ago (vanilla sky&#33

i tried WILDing a few nights ago, and got pretty close. At first, i just breathed in and out, letting my mind picture rooms and places i know (my house, the gym i go to, etc) and suddenly i felt as though i was sinking into my bed... HOwever, i was too excited at the prospect of a lucid dream to stay relaxed.

Any tips?
Oh, and was this close to me getting a ludic dream?
