Also I tried out the FILD technique this morning, and I have to say it's pretty sweet. It's a lot easier than a WILD (never actually achieved one) but easier to come by than a DILD. Unfortunately I always seem to think "Yay I'm lucid, oh crap I hope I don't wake up..." que waking up...frustrating.

that what i do too

I find it interesting that everyone here says their WILDs are less vivid than DILDs. For me, my WILDs (as few of them as there have been) are always far more detailed and vivid than DILDs. Even in my clearest DILDs, there have been some things that just don't feel real. In every WILD I've had, however, it's all so amazingly realistic that when I look for differences between the dream and real life, I can't find any. I've even seen patterns in people's skin when I look up close in WILDs, whereas things are more basic than that in my DILDs.
