What's wrong with my induction technique ?

Ok, so I know how to become lucid in dreams, I had some before, but these days it just seems like I do something wrong. I spend all day doing RC, so that it becomes a "reflex" when I dream. I do it whenever I think about it, testing my vision (reading, checking watch), getting aware of the sound and stuff. When I go to bed, I imagine myself becoming lucid and doing whatever I want, I do so until I fall asleep. Most of the time, I remember all my dreams and become lucid at one point in them. My big problem is all along during the dream, most of the time, I know this is a dream, but I just go with it, pretending i'm still in my bed just imagining myself becoming lucid. So I dream all night, and know it, but can't differentiate the image I create before going to bed than the actual images from the dream... I just would like to know how to perfectionate that in order to be more aware of the difference... Before I was able to but now it's just so different for some reason... Help guys

I always had better luck when I woke up around 3 or so, did a task; then tried to HILD or WILD directly into a lucid dream. If you can run with the imagery you can go lucid at the very first moment.

Yeah... I totally feel you here... My cat always wake me up around 3 o clock to go outside, and I use that time to become lucid... I heard about WILD (relaxation, bright color, float into dream) but HILD is totally new to me, I odn't know how it could end up... Any comment too ?
