Eyes open during beginning of WILD

[Tom187]

I have WILD a few times and it is great because I will gain a 100% lucid experience. It feels as if i've just opened my eyes and i'm in some place and I go to start doing something because i'm lucid and my physical eyes will open.... my dream will keep going if i catch myself but will soon quickly fade away. does anyone else have a problem with their eyes opening upon entrance into a WILD? my eyes naturally open when i sleep sometimes and my girlfriend says that she thinks i'm staring at here when i'm asleep so i was thinking of buying a sleeping mask. would this do? when i consciously think to myself to keep my eyes closed when i try and enter a WILD i will hit a barrier. what is wrong? does anyone else have a problem like this? thanks much appreciated

Eyes open? That would be impossible for me, almost. I can only induce the state I'm in for WILD with my eyes closed.

Yea it happens to me. I wild just enter the lucid dream and then one of my eyes will start to open. Then i will see half- reality and half a dream. Very hard, if not impossible, to stay asleep.

Yea it was all accidental. It happens every saturday morning unless i put a pillow on my face. It's weird waking up with your eyes open.

Yea thats exactly what happens to me where my eyes will slowly open like the relaxed state is when they are like 1/3 open. However, when i WILD they forcefully fully open and then just because there is light in the room usually i'll regain my eyesight after a few seconds and the dream slips away. One time something in my dream shocked me a little and i opened my eyes and felt and saw bugs flying into my face and like a 1-2 inch spider in the corner of the ceiling above me. i tried to move because i wanted to kill the spider before it got away and i would find it in an unpleasant spot. i couldn't move no matter how hard i tried for about 2 mins just watching it and then everything faded, i was able to move again, and everything was gone. was like i was hallucinating like crazy... did this ever happen to anyone before? a dream while your conscious looking through your open eyes.
