I can't 'lose' my eyes, any advice?

I've been trying to get into WILDing recently, mainly during afternoon naps as I've read this is the best time to drop straight into REM, however, I'm having a major issue with my eyes. I'm using Hemi-Sync's Lucid Dreaming tracks to achieve the level of relaxation needed for SP, which I can attain most of the time and generally starts at my feet and works up my body quite quickly after I get the initial sensations. But the problem comes as I'm about to break into the dream - I get this sensation as though I'm 'zooming' backwards and forwards towards my HI as though once I break through that I'll be immersed in a dream, but my physical eyes try and track it and focus on it rather than my 'inner' eye [for lack of a better term?] Has anybody else had this or a similar problem? Is there any kind of technique to overcome it or is it just keep battling until I get through the HI? Also, whilst I was writing this does anybody think that laying on my front/side would have a different effect to laying on my back and perhaps make it easier? If so I'll try tomorrow and report back! Thanks in advance! Any other tips or hints also greatly appreciated.

You should try to keep your eyes still, but I'm never able to do it and that doesn't seem to stop me from entering a dream. The zooming sensation is in my opinion, you entering the dream already. So i wouldn't worry about my eyes. When I see a dream formed, I say "I am there' while picking out a point in a dream and that transfers me inside the dream. Some say you should sleep on your back. Tibetan dream yoga says you should sleep on your side. It comes down to you being comfortable, so sleep in any position, that you normally sleep in. Hope this helps. Happy dreams

Can you shift your attention to different senses? Try to touch the HI, or dance with it, or eat it, or something? Personally, I need some tactile interaction to be able to enter a dream.

This has helped me during quite a few WILD attempts. What seems to work well for me is to try to feel the air on my skin. (I'm assuming that I am on the verge of entering a dream) I prefer this to trying to touch something, because I don't run the risk to move my actual body and wake up.
