      lucid with one eye closed

      This morning I woke up, had some coffee, slapped on a nicotine patch and went back to bed... I had several dreams bordering on lucidity before waking up. I eventually realized they were false awakening, and managed to become fully lucid. I got up off the couch and opened one eye into dreamland... I couldn't open the other eye though. It felt like when you have conjunctivitis and wake up with your eye stuck shut. When I woke up, I realized that the eye that was stuck shut actually have my arm laying across it, stretched up over my head and across my left eye; this must have carried over into my dream and kept that eye closed...

      does anyone know a way around this?

      Also, I experienced another strange phenomenon that I get sometimes when I become lucid from a FA: when I stand up (or sometimes only after I pick something up) I lose balance and tumble to the ground, and wake up in the process or trying to get to my feet and balanced.

      Any suggestions for overcoming either obstacle?

      I dunno much 'bout Lucid Dreams, seeing as I'm a newbie. Though, the getting up and falling down thing is common. The same thing happens to me. If you see stars while getting up and feel light headed, it's just a rapid change in your blood pressure. Try getting up slowly, it should be better. Though, getting up quickly isn't dangerous, just a bit inconvenient.

      (I wikipedia things a lot. This particular thing, phosphenes. "Seeing Stars.")

      That's not really an issue in dreams. It happens often while awake, but never in my dreams.

      What I'm talking about is completely different; almost as if my dream legs don't work. I can stand up, but then I wobble like a Weeble (except I do fall down!) and fall over on my side onto the floor.

      What's strange is that I can fly just fine; if I get out of bed by flying off the bed/couch, I'm fine; but if I try to stand up normally, or if I fly out of bed then touch down, I tip over and lie there, helpless, like a turtle on his back.
