Need some idea of what to do next

I am currently learning to astral project and have been practicing since January 2017. I have gotten to the point where I will wake up and hear my body sleeping but I cannot see. I have asked for clarity with no luck and also attempted to visualize climbing a rope but ended up getting frustrated and falling asleep. Does anyone have any pointers for me at this stage? What is the next step for me? On a side note, learning to AP has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. thank you in advance. x
