I'm new at this and have been a little on the fence about it from the get-go. I've done my best to remember dreams and seem to be getting better at it, ive also been doing reality checks ever hour from the sound of my watch. Last night i was lieing in my bed and was very relaxed and closed my eyes and cleared my head. As i did so i breathed slower and slower and my body felt very heavy and numb, i also opened and closed my eyes very slowly as one would do when their very tired until my eyes stayed shut and i saw a white flash and felt as if i was moving very fast, at the same time i felt my eyes moving around swiftly against my eyelids and i got nervous and opened them as fast as i could and when i awoke (if i was ever asleep in the first place im not sure) i was sitting up in my bed sweating.

Any suggestions?
