I tried going into an LD through sleep paralysis, but I ended up just falling asleep. I don't know exactly what triggered it, but I was having a pretty vivid dream and it began to slip away. My body started feeling all tingly (this was either SP, or the fact that I had fallen asleep on my arms, and they were both asleep when I woke up). For some reason, I started playing the violin, and everything started becoming clearer. I was so excited, I started spinning for no reason (but it helped stabilize the dream), and I also touched the wall, and the tingling sensation started fading and then completely went away.
Anyways, I had the most vivid and longest lucid dream I've had ever (even though I've only had like 3), so this is very exciting for me, and I guess it's thanks to you.
And I guess I might have accidentally developed my own technique for LDing.
I also had a false awakening. I was trying to switch dreams, and I started losing it, and I was walking around in my room with my eyes closed (I figured I was sleep walking), but I was still dreaming, and I had another LD.
