Yes, some ideas concerning your current methods. If you plan to WILD, it's recommended that you wake up before the REM period, not move and then proceed with the counting. If all is done correctly and your eyelids are closed, you should see patterns before your eyes and as you continue being aware and watch these patterns, dream scenes will slowly form and eventually, you'll be sucked into one fully conscious during the transition. From what I've heard, it's the most amazing transition ever, due first to SP where you can get some fun but also scary hallucinations and second, just getting sucked into a dream. I know that what they speak of is true, because, once I awoke in the middle of the night with an alarm and then as I slipped back into sleep, I remember seeing those patterns exactly as they have been described. Unfortunately, I fell asleep and missed my change
As for RC, my advice is simple. Just do them whenever you remember. If you have a dreamsign, then do them everytime you see a dreamsign. In my case, when I first started practicing RCs, I did them whenever I remembered, something along the lines of 10-20 a day. I also tried WILDing before bed which resulted in some heaviness, numbness, etc.... but couldn't get to full SP. After two days of intense practice, I stopped to rest for a couple and had an accidential LD which was a DILD. While I didn't have to do an RC(I just realized I was dreaming, not sure why), I still did one and ignored the results because they were somewhat inconclusive Anyways, just keeping RCing whenever you remember, or when you see a dreamsign and think about lucid dreaming before bed. Eventually, you'll have one but it will be short, so, don't be disappointed. Mine probably lasted less than a minute, I would say around 20-30seconds or so
