Thread: Hit a brick wall

So I was posting a little bit a while back because I was finally making some real progress; SP was a regular thing for me and one time I almost got up out of my body into the lucid world (only my arm did, it was weird). Still seeking that elusive full lucid dream, but I was trying different WILD methods including WBTB and the 3 second-alarm-don't-move thing because they seemed to be working well for me. I was actually getting most of my results from napping but a few came in the morning after being awakened randomly by something and once from the 3 second method.. So this is all fine and dandy until I hit this massive dry spell of zero progress (at least I think). It's been at least 4 months since the last time I had intense SP which I usually get, and lately my ability to stay consciously aware while I sleep has changed. Now, I go to sleep and once I am in a comfortable position I won't move for 20 minutes to 1 hour and a half. During this period I get really weird body sensations but nothing like before (I could feel the onset of SP and the body sensations were of a different feeling). If I don't pay attention I just pass out for a little while (or the whole night if I'm not napping). Only once did I feel close to what I felt in the past months, but I started reading into wake initiated lucid dreaming straight from and awake state, and I understand it could be possible and could not (and everything in between). I am not looking for advice on lucid dreaming straight from a waking state but I can't shake this nightly process now. It even happens when I nap. I never used to try to stay conscious directly after laying down, but now I can't not do it.

Any suggestions on how to get back on track? I have a 6 week break coming up with nothing on my calendar so I am open to any kind of suggestions involving sleep regime.
