Lucid Dreaming | Trying to Wrap My Head Around FILD

I have been attempting FILD for 3 days and I find the finger movements to be a good anchor for keeping the mind aware during the transition into sleep. I did experience some extreme hypnogogia like a loud ringing noise, and intense visualizations that became real during finger movments. This is a common feeling for me during WILDs and DEILDs. So out of the 3 attempts I went lucid once, failed the second attempt because I couldnt keep my adrenaline from rushing due to all the extreme hallucinations which caused me to wake up, and the third one I just fell asleep.

Most users report doing the finger method for 10-30 seconds and doing a reality check. And achieve a false awakening. They dont feel any transition at all. Which I find very strange.

Its hard for me to explain my train of thought around why FILD works the way it does for people, so Im just going to ask a bunch of questions.

Do you feel the transition during FILD attempts or just a false awakening?
Why stop finger movements after 30 seconds?
Why attempt a reality check after 30 seconds and not a longer period of time?
The reason I ask these questions is because FILD is the only WILD technique that Ive read that has a time limit. For example alot of people use visualization to WILD. This does not involve a time and just involves visualizing something until it becomes real. To me I would think alot of people fail this technique because of 10-30 seconds followed by a reality check step.
