Don't worry about how stable it was or whatever problems you had. Those are going to sort themselves out in due time. Most of my early lucids were dominated by weird problems of some kind or the other. It's part of the journey and dismantling these obstacles can be a lot of fun.

I have had the precise problem that you experienced. I got pretty desperate, so I attempted an out-of-body style exit from my body. Basically, I created a new head, torso, and arms and sat up out of my "old body". My legs and hips were still glued down when the dream scene collapsed, though, so it was only a very partial success.

This is my old DJ entry for it if you are curious: Sunny Day "Sleep Paralysis" - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

For what it's worth, this never happened to me again, so don't worry too much about it. If you find yourself thinking about it, picture what you would have happen differently this time. Don't spend too much time seeing yourself "stuck". Imagine freeing yourself and moving straight to your lucid goals.

Congratulations again!

Thanks. (: I saw myself as a black figure.. The surrounding enviroment was a sunny day in a field.. Hmm.. I hope this will be a lucid learning curve.

Interesting how similar the scenery was to mine. Wow. Did you by any chance get entranced by the sky and sort of stare up at it for a while? I enjoyed the sky for a while and when I decided to move again I'd gotten frozen.

Anyway, none of that matters. That's probably the only time you'll have that happen to you. You're the only player in this game and if you need to move, you can move.

No matter how you slice it, getting lucid is always a victory. You'll become more and more familiar with the sensation. That memory builds up over time and (I believe) helps you with future DILDs.

I actually was looking towards the sky.. I don't remember getting entranced by it, though..
And yes, a victory indeed. I hope I'll get to the point to where if I'm not aware in a dream, I just become aware by instinct.. The ultimate awareness goal. Haha.

Congrats Tay!
