Last night I had a strange LD (I think?) experience. Let me preface this by saying I've been lucid dreaming for a while now and have become quite accustom to my usual experiences.

This happened directly after falling asleep (this is usually what happens to me). I was at some sort of a party outside, talking to people and such, and something strange happened that made me think "Hey! You're in a dream! Time to have some fun." I put off my will to explore for a while because I was enjoying my conversation with someone. Finally, I decided to "go" (it made sense in my mind then but now I can't discern what I meant by it).

The party, the people, it all vanished. I saw nothing (it wasn't black or white or any colour, a sea of... not anything?). I held my hands in front of me to see if "I" was still there, and I was, but my hands were sparking with mini-fireworks. They were warm-coloured, reds and oranges and yellows. Then I looked upward, as if I knew I was supposed to ascend somewhere. I've flown before in dreams, so I assumed I'd just do that to get where I was supposed to go.

I looked up to where I was supposed to go and a face appeared in the nothingness, it was glowing a blue-ish colour. In that moment I thought it might be me or someone I knew, but the facial features didn't seem to resonate as anyone I could convince myself it was. Needless to say I got frightened and woke myself up after looking at the face for a few seconds.

Has anyone experienced something like this or know what was happening?
