Don't worry, they're okay. In fact, they work too well! I was trying for my lucid dream tasks, and I was almost there, but every once in a while, my eyes would pop open, and I'd be looking through my physical eyes while still dreaming. You have NO idea how disorienting that is! Unless you've had the same problem. It's so strange feeling yurself walk around and interact with the dream world, while having a sideways snapshot of your rumpled blankets plastered in front of your eyes! I guess I just need to swallow my pride nad get a mask.

Ew ... I sleep with my eyes open... I'm creeeepy.
