Phasing

[gamehead]

Would phasing and dreaming/lucid dreaming be the same?

[Astral316]

Phasing: Method to induce a fully conscious experience where you're fully aware

Lucid Dream: Experience where you're not fully conscious but you're aware that you're dreaming

Dream: Experience where you're neither fully conscious nor aware that you're dreaming

I would say that a WILD (Wake Induced Lucid Dream) is the same as a phasing, it's induced the same way.

how long does it normally take to get into the WILD stage?

That's like asking, how fast can you fall asleep? 

I agree with Timandra... WILD is just another term for Phasing. 
It's all a process of smoothly shifting your consciousness from this reality into another while remaining consciously aware.

As for the original questions... Astral316 really nailed it perfectly.

sorry, I'm new to this xD Thanks for your replies xanth, astral and timandra

so the question i should really be asking is, How is the WILD method done? is it any different from the phasing?

Many lucid dreamers have wrote their own WILD methods, but they're all basically the same. I don't think the methods for WILD are much different from Phasing. The main difference I can come up with now is the intention. Phasing for AP and WILD for LD's, and those are apparently the same speaking from Xanth's experience.
Here is one WILD guide that I'm not sure if I've read but I've read many posts from the same user and he is experienced: http://www.ld4all.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40115

Very good explanation Astral316. I have been unsure about it but that was close to a perfect explanation
