I've tried setting my phone to vibrate, and putting it under my pillow to go off 5 hours after I go to bed. Unfortunately, a few nights ago I changed the time, now the phone won't stop vibrating after a few seconds - it just keeps going and going until you manually shut it off. And I've set it so that it does one long vibration, but it's still not fixed for some reason. Not fun.

I am sure you know all about WBTBs But it is easy to forget.
But if you try your DILD technique with a WBTB I am sure you can break your dryspell, because a good technique with vivid dreams is likely to succeed =)

Right now I am pracctising WILD before sleep because I like to push the limits ^^
But even if that attempt fail I can still get lucid because my normal dreams are vivid and therefore it's easer to become aware. But to stop dryspells the best way is probably to take a break for a few days or to just face the fact that lucid dreaming is easy when you think it's easy.

I saw a the "Wake up" documentary on youtube and one man said that he had to pracctise 3-5 years before he got the lucid dreams he wanted. Now he had pracctised for 30 years! So you are in pretty good shape =)
I've been using WBTB for the past few weeks, and in the past few days I've attempted a WILD before bed. It just kept me up though, so I've switched my attempt times to naps. Thanks for the suggestions!
