I seemed to have lost my ability to WILD...

Maybe it's because I don't get enough sleep now, or because I'm stressed from school. I think it's mostly that in the past I just pretty much knew I will have successful WILDs a lot, and had a lot of confidence, but then lost some of that...

Anyhow, has anyone got any advice on how to get back to being able to do it without failing?

Whenever I have dry spells, I always get those paranoid thoughts that "oh my God, I've lost my LD powers!" I know that it's natural to start thinking that way, but try to put it aside. You WILL have more lucids sooner or later. This is just a phase, the natural ebb and flow of things, and it will pass. Just keep doing all the things you did before to WILD and be patient. Just remind yourself that every night is a clean slate, a fresh start, with as good a chance of LDing as any. Forget about when the last time you got lucid was and all that and focus only on the present. If you were able to WILD successfully before, you can and will do it again, so don't worry.

I agree what Naiya said

And yea, don't worry about it.

You know, I feel the same way. I had this awesome method, combining MILD and WBTB, that got me lucid 4 nights in a row, and now it just stopped working at all.
