Lately I've just been repeating affirmations when I go to bed at night that I will do reality checks when I'm dreaming, then during the night I wake up naturally and do MILD then. I also keep a dream journal (when I'm not being lazy). I've attempted WILD a several times without success. A few times while attempting wild I've gotten a fuzzy feeling all over which I'm not is anything worth noting but never hypnogogic imagery or sleep paralysis.
