I think I finally did it...well somewhat.

So. I attempted SP last night for the 5-6 time and I was aware of my surroundings in waking life, like the hearing the fan. But as I was still laying there with my eyes closed, a dream came onto me while I was still awake and it seemed so real. I was like okay, if this is a dream I'm going to walk over too this dude in the car and punch him in the face, so I started walking over to the car and I went to punch him in the face the dream faded and I was back laying in my bed listening to the fan. My body felt like it was there and I can formed that dream.

I know it wasn't a false awakening because my girlfriend was laying next to me and I had opened my eyes and everything was back to normal and I was just like ahh shit. I almost had it. I did do a reality check and I was correct, it wasn't a false awakening.

Am I getting closer?

That sounds like a brief WILD. Do yourself a favour though, I know it's nowhere near as exciting as hitting a dream figure but next time stay still, take in your surroundings, do a few RCs and get a feel for the dream. Doing something like hitting a dream figure will no doubt wake you up. You need to become accustomed to keeping the dream going and to be honest hitting that guy yanked you out of it.

Good luck!

I will do exactly as you suggested. Thank you sir. Still open for any other comments.

I still haven't become lucid myself, so I'm afraid I don't have any helpful tips, but just wanted to say congratulations! That's so exciting!

I would count it as a success. You did make it, even if it was a very low level dream and you woke up right away. If you keep it up I am sure you will improve.
