Thread: extremely weird experience, please help!

Ah, this is because you had already slept a couple times before hand. You must have woken up right before your REM cycle when your mom came. When you went to lay back down and attempt the VILD, you triggered the REM cycle even though you lost consciousness and fell asleep. As soon as you started dreaming, you became lucid.

About your dream. It sounds to me like you had some stability issues and you still had that connection to your waking body. This is likely what made you feel SP a bit. I have never had an OBE and don't know a whole lot about them, so I can't help you determine whether it was that or not. It sounds to me like it was simple a DILD with some stability problems. Congrats on achieving lucidity though!

thanks ^^ it was quite odd, though because I just couldn't move and it was so early on
but the one thing is that when I fell asleep earlier I wasn't asleep for any longer than say, 25 minutes, could REM of kicked in already?
