      Eyes open.

      Is it possible at all to lucid dream with your eyes open? The other night at my friend's cottage I was falling asleep, but for some reason, I didn't shut my eyes... I remember looking at the cubbords, and thinking they were a window for some reason, but I knew I was asleep, and I tried to move my eyes, and my body, but I just couldn't. I was just fully paralysed staring at the cupboard, and I tried to affect things like I would in a normal dream, but again I couldn't, and decided that it was because what I was seeing was really there, even though I was asleep...

      Opinions?

      Hmmm... could it have been a dream with no control?

      I don't think so. It didn't feel like it, but it might have been... It was really strange.

      Definitly not. My imagination's good, but not that good.

      Hmm, I don't know what to think then. From what I'm reading it sounds like you had an open-eyed Ld. Congrats on that, I've never heard of it. Actually, I heard it's impossible to sleep with your eyes open, but that's probably not proven.

      I woke up for a lucid dream once to discover that one of my eyes had been open the whole time. The weird thing is that in my lucid I couldn't open the eye that was really open, I woke myself up trying.

      Even during sleep paralysis you should be able to move your eyes (and breathe). My take on this is that you just dreamed (with eyes closed, that is).
