Hello.

From what I understand. WBTB+WILD works because you're about to enter your REM cycle and directly into a lucid dream. If not, it's rather difficult.
So with that in mind, why do DEILDs work?

They have for me a couple times so far(Im a beginner) and that's great but...how?

Waking up right after a dream ends and not moving and re-entering. Wouldn't you be at the end of your REM cycle? Wouldn't that mean you have some NREM before you can dream again?

Any help would be appreciated.
