I've never lucid dreamed before, and i really want to. I've tried to practice for DILD, doing regular reality checks, but i have a horrible dream recall. Two nights ago, i tried WILD before bed. The first time, i experienced my body shaking, and my heartbeat was louder. I got bored and stopped because nothing was happening. I tried a couple of minutes after, and the only experience was fading blurs of purple. The next morning i felt motivated, happy, smooth, and my body was kinda waving side to side a little bit. That night, last night, i tried it but i woke up at 4 am. I was on a full bladder, sleeping mask, and extremely tired, and i just fell asleep. Tonight i'm thinking of waking at 4 am, going to the washroom and emptying my bladder and splashing water on my face, then trying to WILD.

Questions:
1. What did i do wrong
2. Why did i not get farther in the WILD than shaking/strong heart beats/Colorful lights?
3. What would i do in the shakiness/lights stage?
4. Why did i feel the way i felt the day after? Was it just the placebo effect?
5. Would it work tonight?
