I tried a wild last night. As I was laying in bed, thinking, concentrating on falling asleep, I started to see things. I fell into deep concentration. Then suddenly I start to feel heavy REM and I start freaking out. It's unconfortable and it's hard for me to keep my eyes closed. So unfortunetely I had to open my eyes. I was so close. I could almost feel myself enter my dream.

Any pointers on how to keep my eyes closed during REM?
