Hey everybody!

So last night, I was trying a WILD, and it didn't work. I think I was focusing too much on my breath that I wasn't relaxing. But anyway, I have a couple of questions.

From what I gather from the WILD tutorials, it is pretty much just going to sleep while staying conscious. You can do this by counting, or saying to yourself that you are dreaming over and over (please correct me if I am wrong).
Then you lose control of your body, and the WILD comes. What's strange is before I knew about lucid dreaming, when I was younger, I must have "woken up" right as I lost control of my body, and it felt like there was a dark sheet over my eyes and I then I got back control. Last night I got bored and stopped trying.

It seems like WILD'ing would be more effective than DILD'ing, which I have had 2 lucid dreams doing. DILD's seems to only work if something in the dream presents itself. Which should I look into more?

See ya.
