Meditation for the First Time

What happened was, I imagined the farthests distance of nothing that I could with my eyes closed, then I focused on my breathing, and the hum of some electronics near by. After a while, my vision went to white light with my eyes closed, and I felt like I was just a pair of eyes. I almost felt like I could see with my eyes closed, but at the same time, not actually seeing.

Is that what meditation feels like? Can you give me more information about this?

The part about seeing with your eyes closed, that is what happens to me when I start to lucid dream, very cool. Good luck and keep trying!
