Ah that's good! I'm not a WILD'er myself, but whenever I've managed to do it I've been fairly far into the relaxation process. I focus on a dreamscene and try to imagine that I see it infront of me, I then touch things and imagine feeling the texture. That usually works and suddenly the thoughts I have become solidified and I'm in the dream.

Some people count, others focus on their breathing and some use an anchor like a fan that they listen to. I guess it's up to each and every one to find their own way of approaching it.
