Thread: What State am i in?

I tried to lucid dream for my first time recently, i know i got somewhere because the feeling i got was intense but at the same time i know it wasnt a lucid dream. Anyway il try and explain what happened and hopefuly you guys can tell me what im doing and how i can get to the next step of lucid dreaming.

I started off by getting into a comfortable posistion and relaxed my whole body. Eventually my breathing became slow and my eyes felt heavy; then i got the feeling that there was this really dim white light off in the distance. I sort of allowed the light to get brighter by relaxing and being passive and it sort of felt like the light was engulfing my head at which point i felt this weird sensation, kind of like when you get that shiver down your back but prolonged and more intense; also my breating quickened and i took in very short breaths for about 30 seconds without exhaling. Anyway it eventually slowed down and i felt like i was aware that i was still awake and not dreaming but really really relaxed , to the point where i wasnt paying much attention to my limbs. At this point i think i tried to induce a dream because i tried to think of random memories which made me lose my concentration and i snapped out of it.

Sound like anything?
