I'll just get straight to the question, I know that one method of going into a lucid dream is Sleep Paralysis, and I do know how it all works out and what happens, but my friend and I have wondered, once you open your eyes in Sleep Paralysis, can you close then again? Because I've heard many instructions of Lucid Dreaming say something along the lines of "....And you will start to see figures, close your eyes again and you will go into the dream world, fully aware that you are asleep, then you can proceed to Lucid Dream." but my question still remains, can you close your eyes once you open them in Sleep Paralysis?
