Waking without dream fading and eyes open wide...
Yesterday i had my first WBTB experience (and today my second :D). What happened is I woke up and went to the bathroom. After around 10 minutes i went back to bed and started meditating for about 30-40 minutes and then rolled to my bed to go to sleep again. I suddenly felt like someone was moving the bed and my body rolling from one side to another, but i knew that it wasn't really happening. So i entered a dream being completely lucid. I opened my eyes (my dream eyes) and i was still in my room. The interesting part is the transition from dream to waking life.
I sat on the bed and saw something on my bed that seemed to be my keys... I grabbed it and pulled it towards me to have a better look. At some point i just couldn't get it any closer to me. So i just stopped there looking at it... What happened is that i slowly realised that i wasn't actually looking at my keys. It was a head from a poster on the wall in front of my bed and i was... awake... :shock: I found myself being awake (lied in the bed) and starring at the poster with my eyes still open... And there was no dream fading and no opening-eyes-to-wake-up... It was really confusing. I made a reality check right away but i was indeed awake... Any thoughts? Has anyone experienced something like this before?
