Hey everyone 
I started reading up on LDing yesterday and decided to give it a go during the night. I woke up after 6 hours and then went back to sleep again.
I had 3 LDs and the first two of them made me feel very, very uneasy for some reason.
In my first dream I realized after I did my normal "is this a dream?" question just randomly. During my day awake I questioned myself this every hour so I guess that helped me out. When I realized I got pretty excited of course and I started to float. I tried spinning around to get down to the ground again which I managed to. After that I grew very restless for some reason and tried to spin around to change my scenary (I remember I decided to practice this because this seems rather important)
I had my first false-awakening right after and even though nothing happened (every time I wake up I try to move my lamp to see if I'm really awake or not)
I got really frightened for some reason and decided to stand up and look out of the window quickly, this made me wake up instantly.
When I tried spinning around I got this massive headache, is this normal? It was actually really painful, like if someone smashed something against your head. When I woke up I had a ringing in my ear as well but I've heard that's normal.
I had a third LD after going back to sleep again where I tried to "summon" a girl I knew which worked after turning around and pretending she was coming around the corner. I talked to her for a bit and then I woke up, I had no chance to even spin around or rub my hands together.. Is this something usual when you start out as well?
In the end what bugs me is that when I realize that I'm LDing I try to calm down but I get this really eerie feeling that something will go wrong and I force myself to wake up. I used to LD a lot back when I was a kid not knowing what it really was, but it's been gradually going away since then.
TLDR; Why am I afraid of LDing, especially during a false-awakening (I saw a box floating in the air and I got scared, what the..?)
And if I just wake up suddenly how can I even try to stay in my dream?
Edit:
I also had a dream I think where I couldn't wake up, it was like a dream of my dream or something like that. Basically I tried to LD when I was in my false-awakening state (I'm not sure which of the dreams this was) I remember I couldn't move and I paniced. Is it possible that I was actually awake at this time WILDing (because I tried to after my third LD)? I'm very confused about this as well.
