I am not sure that I am spawning them from a WILD per se. I think I am just so intently focused on my WILD practice that I am just having ordinary dreams about doing a WILD that occur at various times through my REM periods (i.e.: not necessarily spawned from an awake state). It's happened to me several times and I start to get confused about what was a WILD and what was a dream of doing a WILD. The end result (a lucid dream) is still the same, but it makes it hard for me to gauge my progress and take note of what is working for me and what isn't. I am still refining my anchor. I have tried counting, mantras, FLID, and a number of other things and nothing has been super consistent for me. I think it is more a matter of practice and tweaking my WBTB process more so than the anchor i am choosing. I will give your mantra a try and see how it pans out.

I often wonder if the specific mantra matters. I tend to think it does as Stephen Laberge seemed to think so (he said the when and what are important) and having a background in hypnosis it definitely matters. Which brings me to wonder the line between post hypnotic suggestion and simply invoking your prospective memory in regards to using a mantra... You will naturally be in a hypnotic state when lingering between sleep and awake and it seems as an ideal time for hypnotic suggestions in my opinion.
