Hi anyone who sees this I’m quite new to lucid dreaming, first of all I’ve been practicing the WBTB method for over 2-3 weeks with no success until now. What I’ve been doing for those week is waking up 6 hours after I fall asleep, then lie down straight with my eyes closed trying to remain awake however I always fall asleep. Until last night, I learnt a new method where you read for around 2 mins and put some water on your face and it drastically helps you stay awake. So I did that and after 5 mins I felt a weird stretch/weight on my belly, but I could still move my body so I wasn’t in sleep paralysis. After 15/18 mins something weird happened, my body started vibrating or just tingling all over. Then after looking at the blackness of my eyelids I started to see little dots probably around 90 i could see. Then there were multi coloured diamonds moving around the dots, I was quite certain I was in a hypogogic state. So after 30 secs of that I tried to move but I could easily move and I did a reality check and I wasn’t in a dream. So I must know was I doing everything right, and should I’ve waited longer in that state, and was I about to enter sleep paralysis
