I am not sure how close to a full LD you were, but you did manage to be aware in the first stages of sleep, and that is a great sign. I do not know, were you actually shaking? If so, it has nothing to do with dreaming. However, if you could not tell wether it was real or not, I bet it was not. The process of being aware when you are falling asleep causes all sorts of odd feelings and experiences. Good luck, it sounds like you are moving closer to your goal.
