twice just last night i did a succesfull RC and relized i was dreaming. and both times everything went totaly dark and my eyes seemed to be stuck shut. the first time i tried to open them, to no avail. the second time i tried to imagine a dream world around me, again nothing happened. anybody had this experiance before and what can i do to prevent it.
Darkness is common, I think. It still happens to me sometimes even after many, many successful LDs. One thing I've tried is saying something affirming out loud, such as "The sun will rise in 1 minute!" It often works!
Try thinking about the dream that you were having, remember what was going on. Your brain got confused because there was a major change (you realized it was only a dream,) so if you act like nothing happened and reenter the dream then it should stabilized.
Also try to forget about your body in bed. Try to "anchor" your dreambody by stroking your hands each other. Skysaw's method works for me too.
