Hey everyone, ive been trying to have a lucid dream by using the WILD method. Im just wondering about how close i am.

I lay on my bed for about 15 mins counting 1-im dreaming 2-im dreaming and so forth and try to notice any flashes or changes in my field of vision. After this 15 mins, i will suddenly be overcome by this feeling of falling into my bed and getting very heavy. This feeling is very sudden and my breathing shortens. If i try and ignore it, i will notice i can see alot more flashes/ objects than normal. The only problem is that i get excited and the feeling leaves.

Is this near sleep paralysis?
