Im having trouble with Step 5. I go to sleep for a few hours, have my alarm interrupt my REM. I dismiss my alarm, and either use the bathroom, or start with the next step.

I lay stomach up and "numb" my body.
I use my computer fan sound as my anchor.
I get the "tingly" feeling, but it never activates my dream.
Im always aware, and have a hard time falling back to sleep. Any help?
