I cant lucid dream for a while

Hi guys, I ve been aware of lucid dreams for years by now, but only a few dreams have been actually lucid(but too short).
Anyway, I feel I`m kinda stuck and less capable of lucid dream as the time passes.
I used to fall into a lucid dream pretty easly for a while, I used WILD tecnic even though I didnt know what WILD was, I simply used the method instinctivly.
Anyway, for a comple of times I used to take a nap after lunch, I turn off the TV and then use the WILD tecnic. I could even hear the sound of the television in my dreams. The dreams never took long though...

But now I simply cant use it at all, I ve been trying for months and nothing. I simply fall asleep, I dream but nowhere near lucid, the only thing I got in the last months was a creppy false awakening where I felt like I couldnt mov my body and fell on the floor after getting ou of my bed.

Why cant I use it anymore? I cant really understand why

First of all how good is your dream recall?Do you keep a DJ?
Also to lengthen your dreams the first thing you need to do after you're lucid is to stabilize (rub your hands/do a RC/touch dream objects...).This will help a lot.
Another thing that helps with LDs is getting excited about them and then just concentrate on becoming lucid.This is usually what I do and it works almost every time.I don't do it every night though because I'm really lazy :).I only concentrate if it's been about a week since my last lucid.I'm not sure why WILD isn't working for you anymore...maybe you're doing it wrong.You have too be extremely relaxed otherwise your body won't fall asleep.
What I think you should try is MILD.Most people find it a lot easier than WILD.In my case most of my LDS are WILDs but they're not on purpose.I'm not sure what happens but when I concentrate on becoming lucid I get a WILD most of the time.Usually not immediately but a few hours later,after a sleep cycle ends (I guess) for some reason I become aware and WILD.However this is a hard technique for the majority.I'm not sure why I become aware because I tried this only a couple of times like 3 months ago and failed.So anyways try MILD first and if that doesn't work try the WILD method.Stick to the MILD for at least a month because it usually takes a while and you need to keep a DJ

Good luck!:D

Thanks.

I keep a dream journal for years now, but I only point down there the really intresting ones. But almost evrytime I remember the dream I ve just had, I have no problems with dream recall, and I fall assleep really fast when trying to do the WILDS but I simply have a normal dream instead of a WILD
