Once again I seem to have stumbled into a ditch that I can't get out of. It's been nearly 3 weeks since I had a lucid dream which is frustrating for many reasons, the main one being I haven't been able to access the dream world I was building (read some of my previous posts)

Dry spells seem to be very common for me and although I know many people experience them the frequency in which they come for me is ridiculous. I suppose a reason for this is when I am having lots of lucid dreams I tend to abandon my dream journal or I no longer feel I have to put in as much effort but then my lucidity declines.
I currently focus on DILDS, although if an opportunity for a WILD presents itself I won't pass up on it. I tend to do reality checks and ADA as best I can. I'd say I reality check anywhere between 5-20 times a day and my ADA is reasonably good although some days it's harder than others.

I have been very stressed recently and I wonder if my dry spell is related to that. If so how can I calm my mind down? I know I can always meditate, which is something I try and do, but are there any other techniques anyone can recommend for alleviating any stress or negative feelings? Would incorporating MILD into my routine at night be a good idea? I have a very vivid imagination so would daydreaming about walking around my dream world be useful at all? Any advice or tips are welcome. I need to get lucid tonight!
Thanks
