So, I've been working off and on towards my goal of having my first lucid dream. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. Nothing.

I have given up on DILD because I worked at it for months, writing down everything. The only result I ever got from that, was when the dream was fading and I realized that it was a dream only slightly.

I've been working at WILD for a couple of months now, still nothing. The one year mark of my first hearing of lucid dreaming is fast approaching, and I literally have jack to show for my efforts.

I'm using a WBTB of 4-6 hours after I fall asleep. But I have to constantly mess with my alarm because I have MASSIVE trouble getting to sleep. After I wake up, I sit with the lights off for ten minutes, than lay flat on my mattress. I passively observe the traffic outside, and everything else around me. I slow down my heart rate and breathing and I usually feel a little bit of tingling/discomfort in my extremities. That never goes away and I've literally never had Hypnagogic Imagery, (not that I care) and I'm getting a little nervous. I am on the spectrum, so could that have any effect? I also take .25 mg of Risperadal before I go to bed. Does anybody have any tips/suggestions? Thanks.
