trouble FILDing

so, the first time I tried to FILD, i ended up falling asleep
the second time I had trouble not thinking about it
and the third time I had a false awakening, which I thought was real, then as I began to doze off (still in a dream, at least I HOPE) i went into a super cool sp where there was zero gravity and my body was doing the wave. then I couldn't move my left leg, or feel it.
I've been in sleep paralysis a ton, and I love every minute of it, but I feel that after i noticed my leg, i really should have been tipped off when my "vision" went into a3rd person view of my bed, then my leg.

any thoughts, help with the technique?
to FILDs often lead to false awakening in a dark room?

In a FILD you will more likely have a FA. Thats because the guides say that you should do a RC past some 30 seconds or 1 minute. Some people dont even feel SP when FILDing, but some can feel it. Im not a pro in FILD, but I reached SP twice. Just woke up in the morning natturaly and started FILDing. Just focus on the fingers and relax deeply (like being a "dead body") that resulted with me.
