It seems, Sandeep, that by praying to Shiva upon going to sleep, you inadvertently set an intention that led to your moment during the dream where you remembered your request. That was very well done! What probably made it work, other than the intervention of Shiva Himself, was the sincerity of your request... repeat that sincerity, and you might see such results again...And, given that it's happened twice already, you may have stumbled upon a handy personal technique!

When I did this it was like I could feel too bodies but the lighter body was stuck to the physical body with some sticky glue and how ever hard I tried, I was unable to break through.
After 20 or so minutes, my hands started hurting as they were on top of each other. So i released myself and then slept.
How do i separate? or enter a lucid dream state from SP?
I actually have not offered a technique for separating yourself from SP; you must be thinking of someone else (probably LaBerge, who suggest something similar in Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming -- in which case I am sort of honored for the confusion!). The reason I don't have one is because such techniques often elevate the "SP" sensations you are feeling due to you concentration on them, and that elevation trains your focus on the SP rather than on a transition to a dream. That could explain why your dream body was "sticking" to your sleeping body.
What I would recommend, should you find yourself in actual SP, is to simply relax your mind, and think about nothing beyond how this condition means that your dream is just around the corner. Then, after you've relaxed a while -- maybe even enjoyed the sensation for a moment, rather than challenge or fear it -- simply allow your presence to leave this situation and drift toward a new dream; don't worry about two bodies, or trying to separate them, just calmly move your presence from the body trapped in SP to a new place, which would be the dream . Even if that does not work, just remaining relaxed and mindful of your dream while waiting for the SP to pass might be enough to keep you aware and help you drift back to full sleep and a new dream (which, BTW, would also mean you'd be completing a WILD of sorts!).
