Accidently tried to control dream and real body simultaneously (reverse WILD?)

As not to bother you with the details of the actual dream, I'll just start at the point that was strange for me.

I was in a dream and my left leg started to itch, the dream continued like normal and I decided to just scratch it away with me right hand, but for some reason the itch stayed persistant, even though I felt the relief of scratching. Some DCs in the dream made some strange comments about the situation and then I suddenly woke up and noticed that indeed my left leg was itching and that I tried to scratch with my right arm, problem being I was using that arm as a pillow that moment.

Now that was the first time anything remotely close to that happened to me and thinking back to it, it pretty much felt and seemed like a reverse WILD. Yet the only time I managed to WILD correctly was inside of another dream and I generally seem to have bad success with WILD or DEILD.
As I said something like that being my first time, I usually have no transitions between dreams and reality at all with neither side affecting the other, it always happens in the blink of an eye.

(TL;DR) Which brings me to the question: Is it easier to WILD/DEILD for people who have transitions between dreams and reality? If yes, can these transitions be learned?

There is basically two ways to have a WILD. You lay there and stay wake through the transition. Or you fall asleep then wake back up just before going into a dream. I am like you and I never have a transition, and I think it does make things a lot harder. Though I have experienced vibrations and stuff, though it was always slight after a very long time of laying there. Though like I said I have had WILDs before, they are just wilds where I accidentally fell asleep but then woke up just before entering the dream and stuff. Also some times doing late at night after waking up works, because the transition period is a lot shorter if you been sleeping for a few hours but are still tired.

If you find yourself waking up a lot of times throughout the night, you're a light sleeper, or you naturally wake up after the end of every dream, then yes....it's easier to WILD/DEILD.
