Beginning a lucid with eyes closed?

This has happened twice now, it seems i can have a FIILD quite easily but there is a problem. When i FILD im in my bed and i move my fingers then i think im dreaming i do the nose pinch RC. The problem is that when i realize im dreaming i start the dream in me bed with my eyes closed. As soon as this happens i get a very strong feeling that if i open my eyes i will actually open my real eyes. Therefore i cant start the actual dream. How do i get around this?

Say to yourself that you can see through your eyelids - it's worked for me the past few times I've had shut eyes.

1. You could start walking around and see what happens.
2. Many people open their eyes and those are dream eyes.
3. You can tell yourself "wow look how bright it is inhere" and expect to see the room.
4. Wipe your eyes clean, take off the sunglasses, lift the hood off of our face...

In a dream, you don't see with your eyes. So if yu believe you can see, you will.
