The times I've managed to become lucid, I always end up with one eye shut tight - which, in turn, makes me want to shut my other eye.
Last DILD, I tried to pry it open - took a lot more force than expected, but it did eventually open. However, it seemed to shut after a minute of being opened.
Is there a better method to keep my dream eye(s) open while having a LD?
Apologies if this is in the wrong thread
Interesting, I have the same problem, or used to at least. I find increasing lucidity helps the problem. A common method for increasing lucidity is staring at your hands and using verbal commands, such as "Increase lucidity" and "Focus now!". I used those in my LD last night and it helped me get deeper into my dream. The only problem is I could feel my contacts in my eyes, since I fell asleep in them.
Yeah, Seems as though whilst in your dream, you may not feel as though you are completely in control. Thus, leading you to beleive that you can't fully open your eyes/they feel heavy.
Just as SinisterDezz said:
The solution could be that all you need to do, is find some way to increase your lucidity. So, find out what works best to do so!Quote:

Tell yourself that you can see through your eyelids.
Think that you don't have eyelids or eyelids dont exist as dream often represent the waking life and the context can be changed according what you are thinking :panic:
