WILD problems and questions...?

[Adam, The Dreamer]

I'v been practicing different forms of WILD everyday, at least 2 or 3 times a day. I'm getting a bit annoyed; I keep getting to the point of seeing faint images appear, before they almost instantly fade away, and I'm back where I started! Argh! It's such a bitch! How many times did you have to practice WILD until you got into the dream-state? And what kind of WILD technique did you use? Some tips on gaining a successful WILD would be great! P.S.: Do WILD's require good dream recall? I'd think it wouldn't, since you remain conscious the entire time.
