so, when you wild, does something in this cycle change?? you go directly to rem? because if not, how can you say its a lucid dream (or dream at all?) ?

humans usually experience about 4 or 5 periods of REM sleep; they are quite short at the beginning of the night and longer toward the end.

You're thinking of WBTB. WILD can be done as a nap at any time. WBTB simply gives you an opportunity to lucidify those longer REM periods at the end of the sleep cycle making it worth the trouble.
