How does a DEILD work?
And as for a WILD:
I wake up during REM in the middle of night from an alarm clock.
I have tried many peoples' techniques of getting into a dream: imagine yourself spinning, imagine yourself running in a familiar place, imagine yourself being dragged off the bed, but none of them work. I try to use the most tactile and vivid imagination I can, but all it is is me thinking about it.
Is my only choice a full blown WILD with SP? :(
I can't say for DEILD, I don't even know what it stands for. As for your WILD problem, I'd say it's a very VERY common one. Struggling with these mental exercices are preventing your body from falling asleep. I highly recommend a passive approach: When the alarm wakes you up, go to the bathroom, fill your dream journal, listen to some music; anything to awaken the mind a little bit. 10 minutes later, go back to sleep. Put aside all your mental / meditation work, only this time, pick something (it can be anything from breath, noise, a part of your body etc.) and passively pay attention to it. Don't let it dominate your mind, just keep an eye on it while you let yourseft fall back to sleep. Let your mind wander if it wants to, just don't forget your pick.
Hope that helps.
Well, first off, DEILD stands for Dream Exit Initiated Lucid Dream.
It involves waking up and staying still and then re-entering the dream, except keeping in mind that you are about to go into a dream. And when you get in the dream you need to still remember that you are in a dream. So you become lucid:banana:. I would say it is the easiest one, so long you either have time or the ability to make sure you wake up in the middle of the night.

And WILD, well apparently some people don't go into SP when WILDing. But it is very common to do so.
