Well, last night when i was going to sleep i thought i would try to get a DILD wich would have been my first, but after a while i was very tired, all of a sudden my body went numb and i couldnt move and then it felt like my skin was bubbling. then it stopped and happened again, stopped again, then it happened a third time and undet the process of the numbing and bubbling i knew that was the symptoms of a WILD dream but this was only the third night of even knowing the existence of lucid dreaming. in the end i didnt have a lucid dream. but i did have a good and vivid dream recall.
Sounds like you were close. Just remember that for you to dream, you have to be asleep. Good luck. 
Thanks for the help
