That is so weird. Its like you read my mind. I couldn't have written it better myself!
Everything in bold is so fucking true!

"Won't it wake me up if I use the logic part of my brain, which is supposed to be shut down during sleep?"

Umm... isn't being asleep while having the logic part of our brain active what makes us lucid?

For WILDing I know the logic part is active, but I'm pretty sure with DILD and similar methods the logic part remains at least partially shut down. Just pretty sure, though.

That would explain a lot.
