explain this mother fucking phenomenon to me
resently i closed the window to prevent any light come in in the morning
now i want to do WBTB but when i fukin wake up (after 6 hours most of the time by myself) i am not just tired and it fucking sucks i know its sounds stupid but i cant preform any WILD FILD and this crap
it seems i have to sleep 3 hours to be tired...
ill try again to sleep with open window so the light will wake me up ( i wake up at the same time with or without light by myself
the other freaking annoying thing is that i dont remember jack of my dreams that way
the only dreams i am able to remember are the ones that occur when i wake up naturally and then go back to sleep
does any one have suggestions?
idk why but its happening for the last 5 days or so...

i tried to lucid dream like a year ago and i gave up (my fault but i remembered my dreams every night...)

by the way i am 18 if that matters...

this is copy paste from reddit so it may look not connected ...

The only dreams i am able to remember are the dreams after i wake up in the morning and then go to sleep
if i do WBTB in the middle of the night i dont remember anything ...
then i also try to attempt FILD or WILD but its hard for me because when i wake up (i didint do it enough to say its allways like that...) i am not tired and that's why its hard to preform WILD or FILD i cant seem to get the location of when i am going to fall back asleep and the right time to preform it
that's why o am ending up failing it ...
any suggestion ?

If WBTB doesn't work don't do it. You gotta find what works and what doesn't.

There really isn't much way to "do it wrong" unless you are stressing yourself out and not getting enjoyment out of the practice. There are several techniques that have worked for people on this forum. It also sounds like you are trying to WILD which can be challenging for even the most talented members of this forum (and practitioners of lucid dreaming in general). You may try practicing MILD or autosuggestion before bed and whenever you awaken during the night, or SSILD.

What kind of day work are you doing to prepare for your nightly practice? Are you asking yourself during the day whether or not you are dreaming? Are you performing reality checks? Are you trying to be more aware of your environment (asking yourself if anything is weird, or asking yourself how you got where you are, or why you are performing a certain action)? If you aren't doing any of this, lucid dreaming will probably difficult (if not impossible) for you.

And like Nooby said, if you are repeatedly seeing no success from WBTB, you may think of removing it . . . but WBTB alone does nothing for your psychological state, and really only serves to "wake you up" a bit, to to get you in a state of mind where your day work can help you. Without doing any day work, WBTB, in my opinion, is basically waking up and going back to sleep. Not too exciting!
