You are impatient. 12 nights isn't a dry spell.

That being said, you aren't doing anything wrong (except for saying your dreams are "ordinary." Look harder.) Keep on truckin', and you'll get through.

Your trying too hard, give it a break for a week, then try again.

Yay

Glad you didn't give up now??

"I'm doing everything right so why can't I LD?"

As Yoda said...

And that is why you fail.

give up for a while and then when you come back to doing it it will work.

Keep it up. Change up your routine. I just got over a month+ long dryspell and it sucked. Unfortunately I'm a DG so I had to keep coming back and being reminded how much it sucked. Just take a break, relax, try some new things. Read up on a certain technique, or try an aid or apple juice. Try NOT RCing intentionally. Try NOT to think about lucid dreaming. See if you can go 12 days without it or something

Nah, I'd say just relax. If you've been slacking on the DJ, get back into it. That's the biggest thing that killed my LDs

A quick tidbit for lucid dream induction... Piracetam is a nootropic that is under prescription in Europe called Nootropil. I've been researching it's use before bed (I haven't tried it yet, though I have some) and I have come up with all positive and very dramatic reviews for those who take a dose 1 hour before sleeping. One such review on the topic that I pulled from another site:

Piracetam is the most amazing thing I have ever taken befor sleep. I have been taking piracetam for almost 3 month strait 2 times a day, when i wake and befor i go to bed. You don't just remember your dreams better, but when your falling alseep you go in to that place betwean sleep and awake much faster and its much more vivid. The only problem is that I wake up much more groggy then I other wise would. I love Piracetam befor bed, and would say that I find it much more effective then taking melitonin.

It can be found for a VERY cheap price in powder form. If you're interested, let me know.

It is for me, especially when it's the only way I can see my brother now.
