Must've been dreaming w. my eyes wide open 0_0

So, I was taking a nap this morning after class, and I was focusing on becoming lucid. I remember I was dreaming that I was setting my alarm clock to wake myself up for my next class, then I "wake up" from that dream into another one of myself on my bed. After this false awakening, I was trigged into lucidity because it was night in the dream, but should have been day.
From what I could see, it looked like my room, the only strange thing was that the blanket on me had a glow-in-the dark pattern on it. I was struggling to move but it was very difficult in this one, I could only look around and flail around my arms. As I looked closer, I could see the glowing patterns were math formulas printed on the sheets, they were really blurry but I wanted to remember them, they could have been the unifying theory of everything after all. The effort proved futile because I could feel myself beginning to wake up and my eyes felt so tired and were very hard to keep open. I was trying to spin, but I could only dream-imagine myself spinning.
When I woke up, the dream didn't just fade to black or I suddenly wake up or anything, what happened was it just faded to the real world. The glow-in-the dark pattern became the sunlight coming though the mesh of the blanket on my face. Because the transition was so seamless, I thought that I must still be dreaming. Now that I think about it, for me to interpret the sunlight as a glow in the dark blanket, my eyes must have been open in my sleep, which would explain why my dream eyes were fighting to close. Makes me wonder how often I open my eyes when I sleep and if all that thrashing and yelling I was doing to stay lucid, I was actually doing.

Well congrats on the lucidity.

Hope your next one will be more rewarding!

Carazy. My mom has told me that when I was little I slept with my eyes open. Not wide open, like when your actually awake, but half or something. But she doesnt see me sleep any more (because that would be creepy. Muah). And Ive seen the dog sleep with is eyes partially open. So..ya!
