my first ld attempt

so last night, i thought it would be a perfect time to try to ld. I relaxed myself, counted in my head, and started to do my thing. i got through the stage of seeing random colors in your eyelids, and then soon enough i started SP. i really did not know what to expect, but i felt numbness and tingles and then some stuff freaked me out. i opened my eyes because i was getting scared, and i saw the room i was sleeping in. EVERYTHINg was like twisted around and the part of the room where the mirror is was black. :eek: i just decided to give up and had a regular nights rest. so i guess my question is, why was everything twisted around and like upside down? is this common when opening your eyes in sp?
