It seems as if you can reach the mind awake body asleep stage. It took me two months of practice before I could do that. But can't really help because I have the same problem. I get to what at least seems to be the right state of mind that I've read of but still nothing.[V]
I also had memory of my dreams for awhile but that went away for me too.
