It honestly saddens me to read that you have been tryin 6 years without success. I'm sorry for that. You seem to have lot of knowledge on the subject as well. You even know your main problem, not being able to fall asleep quickly. DILDS don't seem to work well since the reality checks aren't working. BUT, don't stop doing RC's, it can't hurt, I hope.

There is little that I can do to help you but i'll give you just a few pointers. WILD seems like your best chance, I think.

The dream journal thingy, that you have a problem with, you need to try still. Maybe when you wake up, go to the restroom and splash some water in your face. Wake up from a loud alarm, and turn on lights right away. Whatever you can do to wake up. Then jot down w/e dream recall you have from your dreams. You don't have to do this several times a night, maybe just after 5 hours of sleep. You just NEED to do this to increase your recall, which seriously increases your chances at getting lucid...When you go back to sleep, try the wild technique by lying still yada yada, you probably already know it all. Since you have a hard time going back to sleep, you can let your body fall asleep and enter SP, and try to take it from there. (assuming you know how to enter SP) Practice that technique more.

In case of actually doing a RC in a dream, you can do some things to increase your chance of it working. While doing RCs when you are awake, don't just do the RC, be more aware of everything. Look around at your surroundings and ask yourself if everything is normal, in your head of course. Look at your hands more deeply and imagine what you would do if anything was different.... meaning you'd be in a dream. This helped me a lot at least.

Since everythings been failing, maybe look into buying some of those "lucid dreaming pills" on the market. Or invest in one of the machines that can help induce it. Or, just vitamin b6.

About your allergy attacks EVERY morning, can't you help that with medicine?

I don't know much about section 2, at all. All I know is I've been having LDs all my life, and it's a state of mind. And I know SP occurs since your brain thinks your body is asleep.

BTW, I've more than experienced this dark phenomenom, I've been attacked by it, twice. I would really like explainations on it also. It wasn't "old hag" either... This was serious.
