Im somewhat new to LDing, ive read about it ALOT, talked with people about it, but never actually done it. Tonight I got very close.
I went to bed at around 12:30 pm yesterday, and woke up at around 9:30 pm (had an allnighter so i was up all night the day before.)
Its now 4:38 am.
I had gone to be at around 2:44 plus or minus 2-5 minutes. I attempted to do a WILD-MILD technique, and it paid off. I started off by mentally repeating “I hear bubbles, I am dreaming.” due to my fishtank bubbles being nearby. After a while, my thoughts started to stray, so I counted by breaths and breathed slowly. Next, I thought of a dream (this was when I was started to transition I believe.). The thing is, I was still aware that I was in my room sleeping. My mind had transitioned while my senses had not.
Here is the dream:
A friend and I were in my room on the ground sleeping. I looked at him and he had all his facial features correct, and I was thinking “Wow, lucid dreams really do get images from your mind!”. A few minutes later after sitting there for a bit, I heard a squeaking. I turned around and saw a yellow furry mouse that had my dogs faces running around by my piano. I stood up and tried to grab him, but he bit my toe, which is the point where I woke up. I felt a stinging sensation for a second in my toe, and then my body went numb. I tried to move my foot, but it wouldnt respond. My whole body tingled, and I thought to myself “This is sleep paralysis? this isnt that bad!”. I could move my eyes and breathe, but nothing else. I wanted to move really bad though, so I pulled my hard to the left as much as I could and my whole body started sliding onto my back. I got extremely scared, because I wasnt moving on my own anymore. When I got to my back, I yanked my arm again, closed my eyes, and came back to awareness. I could move and everything again.
I decided I had to get past my small fear, so I let my body be lulled back into SP again. This time, it was much worse. There was a high pitched droning in my ear, but I was also aware of a low, tongue-heavy, tantalizing chanting. My body went numb, and my feet felt very heavy and tingly. I felt a light weight on my chest, and I opened my eyes and didn’t see anything. There was no old hag, even though there was some pressure. I believe my old hag would have been the demon from the Exorcist, as that is my biggest fear.
After a second of this I became excited, believing I was headed into a LD. I stayed calm though, not moving. Even though I was calm, the excitement must have leaked out because it stopped my SP. I tried to fall back into it again, but after about 5 minutes of trying I gave up. Im about to head back to bed (its 4:48 now) and try again.
Can someone tell me what happened? Im not sure if I had SP or just transitioned into a half LD and woke up into half SP…
This is the closest ive ever been to having a LD, and id really like to know what I did wrong.
BTW, im a 14 year old boy if that makes any difference.
@Edit
Some other notes I just recalled:
I never keep a dream journal. I never wake up after having a dream, even a nightmare. I know I should, but when I finally do wake up in the morning I dont need a DJ, since I already remember the dream. I have an extremely powerful memory, and I can remember any dream ive had in the last 2 weeks. I know I shouldnt rationalize, but my body doesnt wake up after a dream. The first SP ive ever had (the one I wrote about) is the only time.
Also, I did have a dreamsign in the dream. Im pretty sure the lights flickered on or off, because of my TV. But I entered the dream lucid (albeit without my senses.) so it didnt matter
