      Question Hello all!

      First, let me say I am very excited to find a lucid dreaming forum. I've been lucid dreaming for awhile. I'll keep it short. Has anyone had a lucid dream with your eyes open? I was having a weird swinging effect of staring at the ceiling, knowing I was asleep with full sleep paralysis, to getting up and noticing my lamp turned into a monster then back again. The monster didn't even phase me. I was just thinking.."how the hell am I sleeping with my eyes open?" It would've been one thing If I slept normally with my eyes open but that was the first time, and it hasn't happened since. Is there a technical name for this?

      I can't understand exactly what you just said. But if what you did was, went to sleep and then experienced that swinging effect after sleep paralysis, then I could identify it as false awakening. That's when you wake up in a dream.

      I had a something like that, I was trying to wild, after a bit I went to sleep and woke up. I think this was a false awakening but I was moving my finger but I could see my real finger staying still but I could see a semi transparent finger moving over my real one. I didn't know I t was a false awakening so missed a ld, I just went to sleep after that.
      so yeh my real eyes were open.

      You experienced hypnagogic Imagery. It's fairly common in sleep paralysis. I wouldn't say you were actually sleeping, rather something in between.

      I did.

      Rather, I was in a LD and then opened my eyes, but my REM wasn't quite completed. My eyes were fine for a moment but then they started feeling very heavy and I alternated trying to keep them opened. I think I was hallucinating. I was on a website with a picture of a queen. Haha I surf the web in my hallucinations.
