Need help with dream eyes.

[MadzAssassin]

Two LDs dreams last night from Dolphin's method (thanks Dolphin)! The second was a WILD where I was think of a scene, for some reason a train. I heard some train audio hallucinations and they were crescendoing. But then it all stopped suddenly. With my eyes closed, I did the nose RC and I was dreaming. I tried to open my eyes but it felt like they were celotaped shut. I realised I was trying to open my real bodies eyes. Question is, how do I open my dream eyes? I ended up waking up shortly after my attempt. I didn't panic though which was a good thing I guess. Side note - In my first Lucid, I started losing stability so I tried to become more intact with my senses but it wasn't working. Therefore I shouted STABILIZE. A floating hand appeared with a syringe and dropped a syrum in my mouth, instant stability which I thought was cool.

what dolphin method? You look at the black of your eyelids and wait for the LD. I also "I'm dreaming" in my head whilst doing it.

In that situation I'd ignore my dream eyes altogether (not even think or worry about them) and just patiently wait for the imagery to form, in the meantime keeping my focus on the dream itself or trying to engage other senses like feeling things, walking around, and so forth. In other words, I'd handle it just like the “voids” that sometimes happen during LDs in which the imagery just dies even though the dream doesn't actually end. Remember, the dream body eyes (just like the dream “body” and everything else in the dream) are just a mental construct. They're not actual physical organs that must be “open” or anything else; the only way they should be a problem is if you're too focused or preoccupied with them. Forget about them, and the dream will, too.
