Most of the WILD guides here seem to describe a lengthy process with a plethora of steps and stages to go through in order to acheive WILD. Recently I had a WILD that did not involve any of that.

I was tired sometime during the day and laid face down on my bed. I began thinking of things and imagining things, as a continuation of my normal train of thought. My subconscious began to take control of the thoughts. Elements of the images in my imagination began to appear in my field of vision. Over the span of about a minute, things moved out of my imagination and into my actual senses, until I was completely immersed, in first person with control of motion. I was still completely aware that I was in a dream and of the process I went through to get there. I went on and continued with my dream and controlled it.

So I got from being awake, to lucid dreaming by doing nothing but laying down in bed and letting my thoughts take over. I assume that would qualify for a WILD. So why can't it always be this easy, and for everyone? Why do the guides outline so many steps? Vibrations? Sleep Paralysys? I don't remember any of that. I think those are meant for OOBE, not WILD.
