Hi!

I'm new to the lucid dreaming practice although I have had several lucid dreams with varying levels of lucidity over the past month in which I have been actively practicing. Most if these dreams I have been able to stabilise well and have good control of eg flying, changing dreamscape, walking through walls and changing items to be specific to my needs etc and they have lasted at least 5 or so minutes.

However I was recently trying out DEILD and chained 3 lucid dreams all of which I had the same problem in. As I was in each dream I would begin to feel lucidity slip and my eyes would close and I was unable to open them. I would then call out to the dream 'eyes open' but it would only cause my real eyes to open and I would wake up. The third time this happened I called out for my dream eyes to open and this time one real eye opened and the other dream eye opened and for a second I swear I could see the dreamscape through one eye and my waking life bedroom through the other before I fully woke up with both eyes open in waking life.

I haven't gotten lucid since but I was wondering if anyone had come across the same issue and has a remedy to solve it in case it happens again in a lucid dream. Any help would be much appreciated!
