One more question, when do you attempt to WILD? Perhaps this is the only piece of the puzzle that needs twisting. WILDing at the beginning of the night yields the worst results (takes too long, not as vivid, etc.) while WILDing too close to your normal waking time is not good, either (once your body gets its fill of REM sleep, any WILD attempt becomes a dreamless meditation session).
Reality checks are always good. Wouldn't it suck if you finally entered a dream, but thought it was a failed WILD and continued on in non lucidity? Double check the clock--in a dream, the numbers will most likely change (even if the time appears to be acceptable).
