MILD is, when you tell your mind to get you lucid. You can do that by saying a mantra, something like "tonight when I'm dreaming, I'll realize I'm dreaming". You can say this couple of times during day and when in bed ready to go to sleep and it should be your last thought before falling asleep. You have to really put some emotions into this, really believe and know, that it will work and you will get lucid. Getting excited about it is very important to success.
MILD works best, when you also do reality checks. My favorite is looking at my hands, but you can find many more in tutorials in DV Wiki and find your favorite. You can also add this to your mantra "tonight when I'm dreaming, I'll look at my hands and realize I'm dreaming".
Next thing I recommend is daytime awareness. That's when during daytime you question your reality and ask yourself 'is this a dream?, am I dreaming". Eventually, this behaviour will show up in your dreams also and help you get lucid. Look up ADA in Wiki.
And I'm just gonna mention dream journals. Writing down your dreams will help you with recall, find your dream signs and let your mind know, that your dreams are important to you.
As it was mentioned here, combining MILD with Wake back to bed is really helpfull. You should have at least 4.5 hours of sleep before WBTB, but the best is to wake up 90 minutes before your regular waking time, stay up for 90 minutes and then go back to sleep. I personally do just 1 hour before and stay up for 1 hour.
Practicing MILD technique will get you DILDs. That's the kind of lucid dream, you describe in your post.
Don't worry, questions are not lame at all.
Good luck!
