I've tried LD'ing for almost a week now and to no prevail. I know this is a short amount of time, and I plan on pushing my self more, but I need answers. Almost every night I try to lucid dream by doing WILD. What happens is I go into SP and that's about it. I try staring at the colors and symbols in my eyes and slowly drift off with them, but it seems like they just fade away, and I end up lying there with nothing to do. I have heard footsteps once and a whooshing sound for brief moments, but once I start welcoming my self into a dream it just fades away. I never see or here anything, all it does is keep me awake. I have school the next morning, and i'm not staying up 2hrs after I've made no progress after 1hr. Once I get out of my SP my bones feel all creaky, and i feel like I just woke up from a long nap, and I end up just going to bed. Anything I need to be doing?
