Hey guys. I haven't been on this site or even attempting to lucid in a while, but I'm looking to get back into it, practice practice practice, and finally have my first high quality lucid dream. The thing is, whenever I try to Wild, I face the same issue. I use the mind wake, body asleep technique, were you trick yourself into thinking you're asleep. But I end up laying there for hours, still firmly aware of my surroundings, and frustrated. Sometimes I think I'm entering SP: My heart starts beating fast, I get a little giddy because I think its happening. But then I just feel normal again. Maybe I'm over thinking it, and therefore I cant fall asleep. Idk.

BTW, I do try to sleep at least 5 hours before attempting this.
