Can someone explain what this is?

I've been keeping a dream journal next to my bed for two months as of today. I have noticed massive improvements in my recall and my dreams have become exponentially more vivid. However,I have yet to have an actual lucid dream - I think. I've had one experience where I performed a RC -pinching my nose and trying to breathe - and it was successful, but as soon as I 'became lucid', if that's what happened, I felt a pins and needles sensation throughout all my body. Very tingly, as if I'd been sleeping on my arm, but throughout my entire body. I then woke up. I have not had anything else since that night. What happened to me?

Your dream probably destablized and so you woke up
After waking up you didn't move or open eyes after waking up
Therefore you didn't woke up your body while mind of yours was awake

The vibrations, ringing noises, electric current feelings and smiliar stuff are sensations which you experience during transistion into dream world
You didn't move after exiting dream while being still in REM Sleep Phase
So your body assumed that your still asleep and therefore it attempted to move you back into dream

Those kinds of transmissions are mostly experienced during DEILD or WILD Methods for inducing lucid dreams

Oh,how weird. Thank you!

If you find yourself unable to stabilize a dream when it starts to tear apart you can use those kind of situations to your advantage
Assuming that you will be still in REM Phase after waking up keeping yourself motionless should throw you back into dream :)

Oh,okay! I'll remember that. Mind checking out my DILD workbook to see if you can help me out with another problem I'm having? I'd really appreciate it. http://www.dreamviews.com/dild/15281...-workbook.html
