Finally!

So I decided I was going to take a nap earlier, and was thinking about WILDing, but then I thought that it would keep me awake. So I let myself fall asleep after I flipped over onto my stomach. I was in a dream and digging through dirt looking for Native American artifacts, when I suddenly woke up, but didn't move. Next thing I know, I feel this crazy rushing feeling, and hear the rushing in my ears, then I realize what's going on. So I let it happen but I didn't really have a dream to enter so I couldn't do anything but lay there. Any tips on what to do after this happens?

I'm just excited that I was able to get that rushing feeling for the first time!

It sounds like you got a little to excited. It happens to us all...

My advice to you would be to keep experiencing these sensations until you are so used to them so you actually get bored when you feel them. You might feel new sensations in the future which will help you to know if you are able to transition or not, like for example I just found out that I hear a deep tone right before I can DEILD.
Sometimes the pitch is higher and in that case I am never able to WILD. So keep practicing and learn it your way =)

But next time you get an opportunity like this, stay calm and let it happen naturally and just observe.

What did you remember seeing? Nothing, but you knew you were awake? Try moving your body, it might seem counter productive because you might think your going to wake up, but the fact is if you entered sleep paralysis and that is what stops you from physically moving, not mentally though and you already were awake. Sometimes being in the void is how my lucid dreams start, just try to move slowly at first. Then from their you can practice manipulating your unconscious body.

I noticed I was trying to move my finger, and it didn't feel like I was Really moving it, it felt numb. Truly a mind blowing experience for the first time! I'll definitely try that out, I believe it might work for me. Thanks!

Alright so it happened again sometime this morning, but this time I felt as if I couldn't breathe, and that really hindered the just letting it happen part. So it didn't happen, and I couldn't fall back asleep.
I'm horrible at this lol
