Hey guys

Just woke up from probably the weirdest, most surreal experience I've experienced while attempting lucid dreaming so far. I won't go in to exact details about the string of dreams but I'll give you some basic info on what I was doing and hopefully I can get some feedback on my questions.

I woke up at around 5am after going to bed at about 11pm, I got out of bed for about 5-10 minutes, walked around, answered the call of nature
Then I lay down and attempted to get back into my dreams using WILD. I lay perfectly still letting every sense and feeling and sight pass without much attention. However unlike previous experiences, this time I felt several heavy waves rush over my limbs, my breathing felt like it was getting heavier and my HI got more intense, I even had auditory HI for the first time. I can't quite remember why but I decided that was enough for one attempt so rolled over and fell asleep "normally".

The first dream I found myself in was a pretty standard, but vivid dream, nothing really worth mentioning. The part I would like talked about is the end point. As the dream began to go to black and fade I felt what I thought at the time were my eyes opening, to find myself lying in my parents bedroom in our old house (our old house has popped up several times now for some reason, comments?)
I immediately stood up and began examining everything in the room, feeling slightly bewildered, it was at this point that I walked past the large mirror on the cupboard doors. To my surprise I did not see myself, but some deformed human form. This shocked me as I stepped back, I immediately somehow knew I was still dreaming, despite the various reality checks I performed all passing. What followed after this sudden realisation was several connected False awakenings, I felt as if the dream was throwing me about trying to knock me out of my newly gained lucidity (of which it succeeded after the 5th or 6th false awakening ) I even remember at one point asking a dream character how I could take control or stabilise myself.

Sorry for the wall of text guys but I feel I've made a big step on my journey to lucidity and would love some feedback from more experienced dreamers
