every time i try to WILD im never able to see HI. i lay in a comfortable position after reading and thinking about lucid dreams for about 2 hours before i go to bed, and while im laying there i just imagine me laying in some serine place looking at the clouds and if an irrelevant thought pops it way into my mind i try to picture it forming into a cloud and drift away. i lay there for about 7 to 18 minutes and nothing. i fully understand how to go about WILDing from reading almost everything on this site and multiple other sources but none seem to give me what i need to know based on my situation.
i've never had a lucid dream but have always been healthy obsessed with dreaming. i've always loved dreaming and saw it as a way to escape as corny as it sounds. i just need to know how to further my lucid dreaming with the help of people who have actually lucid dreamed.
i just want to know three things for you guys
1. how long does it take to first see and feel hypnogoic imagery and what does it look like to you.
2. what did/does it feel like when you first become lucid in a dream. by that i want a detailed experienced please
3. what kind of progress should i notice when getting better at dream recall.

sorry for such a long post, it also being my second post, but i really think that answering those questions and adress my problem with WILD's would help me greatly and i hope that you guys can help out a new comer to lucid dreaming
