Hi, welcome to DreamViews!
What you attempted was a WILD (Wake Initiated Lucid Dream). The vibrations and feelings you experiences are normal bodily sensations that may or may not accompany a WILD attempt. These sensations are normal as your body is falling asleep. Many people have these, while others do not. Keep in mind though that it is not necessary to have these sensations in order to achieve a WILD. Others can get lucid without ever feeling anything. Some common experiences may also include hypnagogic hallucinations, which can come visually, or auditorily, or basically any senses. I'm not sure if that was close to a lucid dream, but you're on your way. You can use those sensations as a milestone to let you know your body is falling asleep, but it is not completely necessary if you don't feel them.
There are also other ways to induce a lucid dream, besides the aforementioned method. Check out
Hope this clears a few things up. Good luck!
