You know what I hate?

...When you can feel that your eyes are closed. You can see your dream fine, but you know that your eyes are closed, and every time you try to open them, so that it doesn't feel so weird, you see your room, and you have to close them again real quick before you wake up. It feels SO WRONG to go around, looking at things through closed eyelids. This limits my lucidity many times.

...Just a thought.

.....I've never experienced that. :|
When I'm in a dream, I never feel my body.

Sometimes, even in a fully lucid dream, I can feel a pillow stuck to the side of my head.

Sloth!!
Aah never experienced that either :(
but... I don't have enough experience with LDs anyway
buuut just thought I'd say hiii :)

I've never experienced it either, but I can imagine it could pose a problem to your LDing. Sounds really annoying.

Had this happen a few times. Sucks.

I know what you mean. I have had this in none lucid dreams for my whole life. Never affrcted me much though. Even when I am not lucid, I am extremely powerful in my dreams. I continue perfectly well despite being blind.

To sort it out, try just calming down and focusing. Then make it go away.

I had my arms up (not in the air) but above my head, and they were getting tingly from falling asleep. However i was in a LD and didnt wanna wake up so i kept them there. Needless to say, waking up was a pain. Also one of my arms was against my face and i could sense it in the dream.

ROFL

That's happened to me before as well...sorta. I'll be dreaming and I can feel my eyes closed and I can only kind of see my dream. But I can't open them, it's like my eyelids have weights on them. Pretty weird...

I sometimes find I can see with my eyes closed in dreams. I can feel my real eyes are closed, therefore the dream eyes are closed, but I can still see.

I usually find that after a WILD, my neck muscels will not co-operate with me, my head is left hanging when I sit up.

if you have a sense of body within the dream (e.g. sense of both the physical body and the dream body simultaneously), try rubbing your dream hands vigorously. i've always found this helps the mind to fully associate itself with the dream body image.

if you have no sense of body within the dream, but can see detailed scenes through closed eyes, perhaps try to pinpoint a person, and "zoom in" on their body until you possess it.

same deal...this should convince your mind to associate itself fully with a body image within the dream.

ps. if you inhabit a DC, use the hand rubbing technique immediately to stabilize your new body.

good luck :)

Great idea! Never thought of this.
