Hey everyone, I have just recently started to try lucid dreaming. I have had only one so far but it was very short only a couple seconds. But earlier this morning I think i was very close to having a WILD. I need your opinions to see if i was as close as i think i was to attaining lucidity.

After waking up this morning i stayed up for about an hour and then went back to bed. I tried focusing on relaxing my whole body to make it feel like my body was not even there. After lying there for about a half an hour trying to get back to sleep, I started seeing all sorts of crazy colors moving in every direction and my eyes started fluttering which i could nto control. I started seeing images but only for a split second each. I feel like i was close to LDing but i got excited and my heart rate went up causing me to wake up.

Does this sound like i was close to WILDing and does anyone else have a problem with there heart rate going up because they are excited and if so what do you do to relax?
