Thread: Eyes opening automatically?

I don't think the problem is your eyes at all, merely your mind. If you were going to sleep naturally, would your eyes do this? I don't think so. I would spend more time relaxing myself and making sure I have sufficient amounts of sleep under my belt so that I am thoroughly relaxed (and yet mentally alert) enough to proceed with a WILD post-WBTB.

In addition to that info, this article I wrote up (involving problems with the eyes and other hurdles to jump over when WILD'ing) may help you as well. http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...d.php?t=43435&
