I once saw through my eyelids when i first entered a lucid dream (I was so afraid of what I would see if I opened my eyes that even though they were closed I could see right through them ) when your in the semi-retarded limbo state of losing consciousness and staying awake its easy to make stupid mistakes (ie. oh no, there's a real monster in front of me that has made me able to see through my eyelids!"
if you have a sleepmask on you'll know beyond a doubt that that's impossible. (and also it helps with the WILD itself, you may suddenly find that the lights in your room are on, so you open your eyes to see whats up and find you wife/mom/room-mate plundering through your closet, but you realize your sleepmask is gone, which triggers a reality check

It's kind of weird how your mind can generate noises that sound so real based on fear[/b]
that's nothing, just look at what its doing when your in an LD
