Hi and welcome to DV! Yeah that's basicly how a WILD goes. You wait for your body to fall asleep, while you focus on something to not lose consciousness. When you start seeing whole images, try to focus on them and let them engulf you. It's basicly a waiting game until the time comes, you'll start to notice your other senses activating other than sight.

There's been a study done, that shows that alot of people who play alot of games dream in third person. What you can do if you don't think RC's during the day will work, is to do the MILD technique. Intentions and mantra's are enough for you to become lucid. When doing a RC in a dream, you're almost always already lucid. They rarely happen spontaneously. U get lucid spontaneously and then perform a RC.

Start writing down your dreams as recall is very important, and set up a goal or two. That's the first steps!

Good luck, and keep on dreaming!
