How do I get into an LD from this!?

[Dreamer4127]

Last night I fell asleep then I woke up about an hour later. My body was not paralyzed but it felt numb. I kept still, I didnt roll over and only needed to swallow about 4 times! I kept my eyes closed so it was like a DEILD a bit but instead of going into a dream I saw a pumpkin floating around and a blurry dark room started to form around me. I tried to get into the room but I couldnt and eventually it faded away. I then opened my eyes and did 2 or 3 RCs. I realized I woke up because my laptop was flashing into the mirror which reflected the light onto the wall next to me! I tried to go back to sleep but all i could see was patterns trying to suck me in. I eventually fell asleep and had no dream recall. 1.How am I supposed to get into the dream room? 2.Did the laptop flashing induce the imagery? (I heard somewhere that flashing lights help with WILDs or something like that.) 3.Is there any other tips you can give me? 4. I know this isnt related to my problem but is there anyone in the UK who can enter my dream and tell me that I am dreaming? I will do anything for a LD now >.< Thanks
