So last night I came close to entering a wild, I believe. I remained aware through the physical trnasition to sleep and felt my body becoming numb. I saw images passing in front of me, becoming slightly clearer. I felt an intense vibration and my heart felt like it was beating really fast. I got very excited and thought maybe I would enter a lucid dream. suddenly, my eyes shot open. For a moment, I thought I might be in a lucid dream but I then realized I had woken up. I couldn't get lucid again.

Any advice on how to remain calm and make it through the transition into the dream?
