Roller. like Wayne said, we've all been through stuff like this.
I started lucid dreaming about 4 months ago and average about 2-3 per month. The first week of February, I already had 3, including 2 in one morning, a first for me, and also my first WILD. Why am I telling you this? The second week...... NOTHING!... so far.......So it's feast or famine for me and many others. There seems to be a fine line between success and "frustration" in Lucid Dreaming, especially for those without a lot of experience. You have to really want to do it but you must have a certain amount of detachment as well.
I would suggest relaxing a bit and toning down whatever method you are using. Many beginners have success with WBTB and MILD. Look in the tutorials if you're not familiar with these. WILD might require a little more experience so you might want to try that later.
At first, I was chanting my MILD "mantra" like there was no tomorrow without any result except lack of sleep! Then I would give up for the morning and just try to sleep, THAT'S when I would have an LD! I've also had them when I only did a very quick affirmation before returning to bed. It's that fine line again and only time and experience will help you walk it.
If you aren't successful tonight, no problem. Just be persistent and know that it will happen soon. Like Wayne said, there's always tomorrow. If you get burned out or frustrated, take a night or two off. You might get a big surprise.
If you don't give up, you will be rewarded with an incredible experience that you will never forget. The first time you realize that you are dreaming and lucid and maybe start rising off the ground and get an adrenalin/lucid rush, you will understand why it was worth the effort. Trust me!
