Hi! So I've seen a lot of people of here saying "I've been trying LD/WILD for a week now and I'm already starting to feel the intense vibrations or getting 'sucked' into my dream!" Then I'm here like MERP I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 3 MONTHS WITH NO PROGRESS. So what ends up happening is I do WBTB. Then I lay on my stomach (most comfortable position) and repeat "I am aware 1 I am aware 2 I am a aware 3" and so on. After I know it, I'm awake and it's the next morning! I don't even get to hypnagogic or sleep paralysis. I know you don't have to induce sleep paralysis but I DO know that you have to have hypnagogia. I kind of feel a little upset as my progress has gone no where. I've posted something like this before a month ago and people were like "Ohh but you get more experience!" Well m8 it's already been a month and I'm stuck in the same place I've been in before. Sometimes I try a different phrase or just count but it never works. Sometimes I'm up for an hour just waiting for something to happen.. Anything. But nothing. If I try to think of a scene I fall asleep. This is usually how I fall asleep because clearing my mind is usually not too relaxing and just silence. Then I fall asleep 15 minutes after I would fall asleep with phrases and etc. I tried clearing my mind just so you know😂 I'm just kind of lost here and don't understand why I can't LD. Any tips would be great on how to stay aware or anything else that would help.

Thanks!
Rose
