2. As I see it, there's a lot of video game nerds here. That should be resonable right?
3. Why isn't there a sticky in the newbie board that explains the strange acronyms like WILD, MILD and WBTB? I worked my ass off to udnerstand all those lol.
1. Yes, lots of WILDs result in false awakenings and a good grasp on reality checks is required to catch those. Also, MILDs rely on reality checks to get lucid.

2. Could be, I guess I'm one of them, but I haven't played in ages.

3. There is, Burns' newbie guide has a link to the acronym list. Also, the dream guides (green staff members) are constantly working hard to make newbies feel comfortable, and a new welcome guide is on our list of things to do.
