Thread: Lucid Dreaming with your eyes open (my experience)

I can wake up half my body from within a lucid and observe the dream with one eye and waking with another, but it doesn't sounds at all like what you experienced.

Likewise, except I don't wake up half my body, but I can open and close my eyes and seamlessly go back and forth from experiencing the lucid dream to viewing the real world and both at the same time with each eye. I've never read anywhere that it is a requirement for the eyes to be closed to experience hypnagogia or even dream? I think the main thing is just a lack of sensory input, so staring at a white wall could be similar. I can't imagine it would be very good for your eyes though, since you won't have a blink reflex to wet/cleanse them.
