Maybe it depends on the stage of sleep you're in, maybe it goes away with experience, maybe it only happens if you expect it to happen (first thing I read about LD is how scary HI is, now I know it's not; so it no longer is?), not sure.

It's best not to expect anything, you might end up on the lookout for something that will never happen and miss your dream.

I just tried to do a random WILD nap and after about 10 minutes or so, my eyes started fluttering (specifically my left eye for some reason) I don't know if that's good or bad. They open by themselves when fluttering...It's not the first time this has happened. It's like soon as I'm about to fall asleep with awareness, my eyes twitch like crazy and open themselves..so annoying.

Try reverse blinking, if that doesn't work you're probably just not sleepy enough, not much you can do if you simply don't need any sleep.

I tried it, several times for 5-10 minutes and it's like they open more if I do that (after 4 hours of sleep) It's so annoying, because whenever I start to see anything like HI or begin to transition is the only time it happens. It's mainly my left eye for some reason... I'll try a face mask, but I don't think it'll help.
