I have had a lot of lucid dreams, but my style so far has not been to WILD. I have read Seeker's tutorial twice and tried to follow it, almost. I need to pay more attention to the details. I always try it in the morning when I press the snooze button over and over for about an hour and a half. It seems that I am always too tired to comprehend the fact that I am supposed to be trying to WILD and I get out of bed later and go, "What was I thinking?" It did work one time, however. I went right back to the same trippy dream about being on a subway that goes from Jackson to Seattle through an underground mall. When I appeared there, I immediately tried to go to the place I seem to never make it to in lucid dreams-- the Eiffel Tower, where I have asked a lot of people to meet me and dream share with me. (I am not too sure about dream sharing, but I like having fun with this stuff.) I walked through the wall and was in the parking lot of the basketball coliseum at Ole Miss (University of Mississippi), even though I was in Montana or Idaho. I started running on a lake right by the coliseum, a lake that does not exist in the waking world, and my damn alarm came back on and woke me out of it. The snooze button technique might not be the most advanced way of doing this.

Based on what Seeker said, it looks like you might be waiting too long to go back to the dream. You want to still be in a state where you will R.E.M. when you go back to sleep. Otherwise, you will just go back to sleep, R.E.M. later, and have no track of the fact that you are trying to achieve lucidity. As I said, I am no WILD expert, but I am pretty sure that much is true.
