Hello Everyone!

I'm new here. I've been searching for much information of LD for a few months now and they all seem to lead me here. I decided to sign up! I'm looking forward hearing and sharing ideas.

I do have a question about my last night experience (not a large portion or maybe not even at all LD).
A little background about me is, I'm a beggining dreamer, very motivated, I'm a young adult. I've been skeptical about LD for a while now but I've made somewhat a hobby trying to begin. I've purchased LeBerge's book for my tablet and I've seen reading it and its very general from what I've been reading for a while now.

For my question about last night;l

I went to be at 10. A little while before, I was doing the MILD technique, "Am I dreaming or not?" for about 20minutes before bed. I did this while brushing, flossing, cleaning up, and pretty much preparing for bed. When I finally laid to rest, I did another technique I read about. Is to imagine that you are dreaming or what you'd want to dream. Strangely, my phrasing and images mixed together in my head. I tried to sleep, however, I had an unnerving reaction to every little sound and my body itching/ spasming, but worst of all, I felt as if I was being lifted and tilted when I shut my eyes.

I kept waking up to this signals thinking I had false awakening, so I did many, many, many reality checks. Finally, I came to the conclusion I was scared and I couldn't sleep.

Any idea what happened to me?

I apologize in advance for this dreadfully long post.
