Greetings.
It has been some months since I've been able to achieve WILD with satisfying consistency, but lately I cannot seem to enter dreams properly most of the time.

My routine when performing WILD has always been the same: I'd usually wake up after about 5-6 hours and stay up for a few minutes before going back to bed (since it takes me a while to fall back asleep.) I'd then begin to feel the hypnagogic state usually after around an hour.

The issue happens when I'm transitioning: I can make out that the dream is about to begin in my room, but it's dark and blurry. The unstable scene in front of me will then disappear, only to reappear shortly after in the same unstable state. This loop of exiting and re-entering the dream happens quite a few times before I just give up since I'm not making any progress.

I believe this is happening due to me not falling asleep into the REM state completely, but if that is so, then I'm left clueless as to how to achieve that.
Just waiting for the dream state to become more stable, which worked in my old attempts, does not yield any results now.

Any help would be appreciated!
