Hello dreamviewers, I may look new here with my post count, don't blame you for thinking so, but I've been around for a few months just reading topics here and there.

Well to get on topic, I've had a LD before, it's just that it was a while back and I haven't tried again for awhile until just recently. Basically, last night I woke up at about 4:30 (after falling asleep at 12:30), to try the WBTB method. Shortly after I woke up and was laying back down I fell asleep because I lost focus. While asleep, I see disturbing images, not like dead bodies or anything but just images that for some reason scared me. I recall one of them being a brick wall or something. This is all happening while I'm asleep not while trying to induce a LD. While this is happening I can feel myself getting scared almost as if you were walking in real life and you get scared. But I tell myself this is a dream and it's not real and the image or thought goes away and comes another one. However, each time something appears I continue to tell myself this is a dream. After I have seemingly dismissed all the images I fall asleep with what I can remember no more dreams.

I've been thinking about this all day and thought that this was actually all happening while I was trying to WBTB, and I was just to delusional to realize it. And if so, is that what lost my focus and caused my to just fall asleep?

Also, if I was able to acknowledge the fact that I was dreaming and it was fake, why wasn't I able to LD?

Thanks for reading, and all responses help.
