Well, for me, anything like that is a product of my own doubt.
It's like in the back of your mind it's saying, "this is too good to be true" then that doubt fabricates a flaw in the dream.
Just stop and try and take absolute control and say," MY EYES ARE OPEN AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT."
That's how I am with flying anyway, the too good to be true kicks in at a nearly subconscious level, it's hard to even figure out I thought of it. It could be the same for you but I could be wrong
I've had that before, too. Usually I don't wanna open my eyes because I'm scared that I'll open them in real life and just wake up, even though that's probably not even possible. All I can think of is that if you're like me you just wanna open your eyes and do everything before you wake up, but maybe just take a moment to calm down and think about why you can't open your eyes.
Heh. ITT: I give advice to myself =/
That actually makes a lot of sense too. I know what you mean but I experienced it differently in that I did get a very well defined distinction between my dream eyelids and my real eyelids. I think if you recognized it well, this problem could be avoided. Then again could be just me..Quote:

i think its because you still feel the body of your reality self. Like some people when their in a lucid dream can still feel the pillow on their face, you are probably just feelings your eyes thats closed in reality.. i used to have a similar problem where i would still feel the sensation of laying down throughout the dream.. the better you get at dreaming, the more that stuff goes away, for me anyway.
Yeah. I have the same problem. My eyes randomly close and I lose the dream. I think I'm getting over it though.:)
When I was a kid, I trained myself to close my eyes during a nightmare, and opening them would wake me up. What this accomplished though, was to make me wake up any time I closed then opened my eyes in a dream. The way that I found around this was, once my eyes were closed, I would realize that I didn't really have eyelids in the dream and just make the dream scene re-materialize without opening my eyes at all. If you've ever had a WILD, this is similar to going from the darkness of being awake with your eyes closed into the dream, but much easier when you are already dreaming.
