The feeling of being watched

this is not about an actual lucid dream but, for some odd reason i cannot do it anymore. I cannot get in a comfortable position at night and go off in a more trance like sleep. This is what is keeping me from doing that. Well, ill lay down and everyone once a week or so ill tell myself, hey i want to dream lucid tonight and dream about stuff/something. So i sit in my bed and try to get comfortable but, i cannot sleep in the dark anymore in my room. Its very strange i feel as if I am being watched. So i always have to turn on my tv, which is a distraction to lucid dreaming. If someone can please help me overcome this fear of someone watching me and being by me then i can do it again. Like i can tell myself hey this thing/fake imagination being cannot hurt me and its not really there but i feel like it is and its blocking my way from doing this anymore.
