Hi. I have been trying to have a lucid dream for months.

I have had a MILD once but other than that nothing.

I have been trying to WILD with no prior sleep and I get into Hypnagogic Hallucinations I feel heavy my heart starts pounding I start seeing weird shapes
and it feels like my bed is swaying. All of these sensations will get really intense and I feel like i'm just seconds away from slipping into a dream but then after a little while (No idea how long though.) They will fade away and I will realize my eyes are open and i'm not dreaming I've tried visualizing a dream scene but nothing happens.

Its really frustrating to feel so close to a LD and have it slip away

So what am I doing wrong here, any advice you guys have is much appreciated

Thanks
