First real lucid experience, please help?

Hi!

I have been interested in lucid dreaming for a long time, and have tried WBTB methods, and kept a dream journal before. These last few months I haven't been practicing it, and I never actually got to go directly into a lucid dream.

Something weird happened tonight that scared me a little, I'm wondering if you guys can clarify some things for me?

I went to be about an hour ago 2am, with my cat Princess. She kept me up a little since she is energetic then came to lay down next to my head.

Anyway as I started drifting to sleep, suddenly something just clicked about lucid dreaming. With my eyes closed, I heard the crickets outside and my cat purring. Suddenly all sound stopped and I started hearing a light strange whirring frequency sound. I wanted to wake up but realized I was in sleep paralysis and tried moving my fingers, I thought I got up and saw my open window and cat but I didn't (?)

Anyway next I was getting to sleep again, and the sound continues. There was no other sound that I could here! I started getting a bit panicky and couldn't move. I started thinking and I saw my thoughts visually in some dream state.

That soon finished, and then I felt some really strange energy over me, that felt like really heavy as if I was trying to turn myself over. I can't explain it, it was a really heavy feeling as if I was too heavy to move myself. There was a flash, and this is how the dream started (I didn't know it was a dream, it was so realistic): I was in bed, but I didn't have any energy. I could hardly move and I couldn't talk, only a really weak whisper. I couldn't walk out of bed, so I crawled down, and opened the sliding door into my brothers room. I was so weak, and was trying to whisper his name. I managed to get him awake to try and take me into the bathroom. Next thing I see is myself walking with my hand in his, him taking me to the bathroom. Something strange that I don't understand is that I felt like half of my body was paralyzed, I felt like I couldn't open my left eye or something, the muscles in my left didn't work??

Anyway, we got to the bathroom, and it was a different bathroom with two rooms. I went into one, and suddenly *I'm in a dream!*.. I know I'm not supposd to get over excited, but because I was a bit scared I wanted to get out of it, I jumped up in amazement and tried to fly and soon enough, I was awake, my cat still next to me!

Here I am writing this to you, can anyone tell me about what this was, why it happened? My cat is next to me in the living room now, so I guess she is wondering too, hehe!

I have been smoking alot more these days, been using more diacetylmorphine than usual (I won't use it's real name, don't tell me about it, I know what I'm doing, I only put this here in case it makes a difference), and drank some multivitamin today (which I do usually) and have been taking zinc supplement recentely.

Thanks!
