In my experiences, DEILDs are very quick and relatively painless when compared to the struggle and discomfort that can come with WILDing from wakefulness. In fact, in all of the DEILDs I've had, I've barely become conscious, and they usually happen by accident. When I was making conscious efforts to WILD every night before sleep (though it's rare, it's good practice and relaxing), doing reality checks throughout the day, and generally having lucid dreaming on my mind, I entered DEILDs almost automatically. I start remembering things right before the transition, when I know if I just relax, it'll happen very quickly. So in DEILDs, you don't have time to anticipate anything or to bring anything frightening on yourself. You can try to make the suffocating feeling go away by forgetting it ever happened; often, thinking about some scary phenomenon only causes it to reoccur. (When I first WILDed, I felt vibrations, a huge roaring, and entered right into a nightmare! But I forgot about the scary noise, and I haven't heard it since.)
