Thread: Was it a HH that I saw?

Hello, so I found out about LD yesterday, I've been reading a lot about the subject and did my first attempt yesterday evening. I attempted to do a MILD but because I'm new to this I think I kind of did some WILDing too. So here's the progress:

Started relaxing and started repeating "I will lucid dream in my next dream" in my head for approximately 5 minutes until I felt very relaxed and heavy, I started imagining a beach, tried to imagine feeling of the warm sand that covered my feet, the warm sun hitting my body, the beautiful blue water etc. After a while I started seeing some kind of colors swirling, I got really excited by this but my excitement made the swirling colors disappear.. So I rolled over and started the process from scratch. This time I did not get as excited when the colors reappeared, after a while of seeing the colors I tried to imagine myself spinning because I was curios to see what would happen, I felt dizzy as though I'd actually been spinning. But that was a huge mistake, because it brought the excitement back and the colors disappeared.. After this I kind of gave up my attempts and fell asleep as I normally do.
The next morning when I wake up I was able to recall 3 dreams and wrote them down in a DJ, but none were lucid.

Now after reading more I think that I actually tried to do a WILD without waking up or taking a nap, and that seems to be hard. Next night I'll set an alarm to wake up in the middle of the night and retry this attempt then because I suspect that I was close to succeeding. But I would like to know, was the swirling colors a HH? I did not notice any SP during this because I was able to roll over shortly afterwards.. I'll also combine this method with SAT.

Opinions and suggestions are welcome too, thanks!
