WILDs are hard in my opinion. I've been LDing on and off for about ten years, and almost all of them were DILDs. Of course, I hadn't even heard of the WILD technique until recently, but I did think up the idea independantly, and had managed a small handful of them. In any case, I would say don't get discouraged by not being able to get lucid by this means.
A dream sign is anything you condition yourself to trigger the thought "am I dreaming?" The easiest signs to establish are the ones that include both an element of improbability and frequent occurance.
I have several dream signs, but the one that is most reliable is an old-fashioned rotary phone whose dial has too many holes, misnumbered holes, and/or no end catch for your finger to stop. I often dream of having to use such a strange phone when having to call the police in an emergency. I actually had such a dream last night, and because I've been reminding myself in waking life that this is a dream sign, I remembered it in my dream as well. The end result is I can then pop into lucidity and take control.
