My two DEILDs I entered into the dream fully aware of the process with no doubt at all and felt the usual audible, visual and physical hallucinations that come with a successful transition. I guess I expected WILD to always feel this way but is it more common to not experience these things?
Keep in mind that guys with 30+ years of training like me and Sageous claim to fail far more often than to succeed. I can not speak for Sageous, but I think he said a 1 in 10 success rate is not bad at all. I agree. In my best times when I do all the ground work I can sometimes succeed in one out of three or four, but if I am not doing the day work maybe 1 in 10. So you have a better idea of what you are attempting, now just attempt it hundreds of times. I use a snooze alarm on my phone to try over and over on some mornings.
The entry into WILD can very different each time. It often involves a state where you go through levels of sleep, maybe seeing shapes or felling sensations. It can also be that you do not realize what has happened and suddenly are in a dream. You may get distracted and almost not be lucid, but you are more aware so you hopefully quickly figure out it is dream.
