It's an awesome mindset indeed.You enjoy the whole process and at the same time get great results.GREAT!

Last night after I woke up I said alright let's try WILD with the mindset you mentioned.I started focusing on my breath and then found out:not-being able to fall asleep started.I ignored it and just tried to don't care a shit about it.But after sometime I gave up on it and started complaining.I realized I'm making it worse and started to ignoring and don't caring about it.This process kept up for sometime,while I didn't got the sleep with the desired quality but it was better than the previous nights.But you know what?Screw that I didn't got a good quality sleep.Why?Cuz I just got an awesome lucid dream(And also thought about doing an RC in another dream.but I got distracted anyway)!I wrote it for first time in DJ(I guess I wrote it very bad anyway.Bad writing and story telling skills perhaps...)
But I think I was on an autopilot mode(I guess by reading it you realize that)
The last time when I experienced being aware of that I'm dreaming I did things which I wondered why,upon waking up!
Here's what last time happened:I realized I'm dreaming while I was opening a door in a dark environment.Then I started reciting "I am lucid" over and over.My main language is not English but I was saying it in English without thinking about it!After opening the door I saw my mother sleeping at the corner of a big giant living room.I turned around.There was stairs leading to a beautiful garden.It was dark so I said "morning" (Yeah,again in English without thinking!) and weather started getting lighter.While it was cool and making me feel Powerful still I did it without thinking about it!Anyway after going up the stairs and exiting the garden I said "Horse".Then one appeared.again without thinking!Yeah I like horses and maybe try riding em in my dreams.But I was more interested in flying why the hell did I call a horse without thinking about it?!I wonder if it's how are the first lucid dreams are or...I don't know what else it can be...

Ramin that's awesome!! I actually had an LD this morning as well! ^^ (It's in my online DJ here if you wanna read it)
Actually, we both got our LDs the same way, by becoming aware after our WILD attempts didn't succeed. ^^

Good luck in future attempts! ^^

But doesn't that mean that your WILD attempts did succeed, just not the way you planned? The goal is the LD, after all, and not the method of getting there, right?

Ah, that's true.
