I can clarify some points if you're still confused by the end of this post, but the main gist of it is that my vision gets stuck while dreaming. An analogy to this is like looking at a photograph: I can see the environment, but my actions don't update the image I see. This is incredibly frustrating, since my fun in dreaming/lucid dreaming is cut short. This doesn't happen frequently enough for me to see a doctor about it, but it's annoying in its own right.
A weird side-effect of my vision getting stuck is that my movements become more sluggish. The characters/events in my dream are also still able to interact with me as if my vision was never stuck in the first place.
There has been one instance in which I was able to remedy my problem, but it has never worked since. The solution I used was to pretend that I had glasses that recorded my vision and then replayed it in individual frames for long periods of time. I imagined myself taking off the glasses, which fixed the problem I had in that particular dream. I tried the same solution in the next dream, but to no avail.
I'm not sure if this information helps, but I tend to sleep on my side. One of my eyes also tend to open while dreaming and I get this weird mix of seeing reality and my own dream at the same time. I tend to suffer more from my problem when I am lucid dreaming. I have been lucid dreaming since the age of six on at least a weekly basis, though I stopped caring that much about several years ago. I had a lucid dream that went on for a couple of minutes about thirty minutes ago, so I was reminded about my problems.
I'm really getting tired of this happening and want some possible explanations and solutions to my problems :\ So hey, why not ask DV?
EDIT1: It's not a nightmare. It doesn't happen in one specific dream setting, but can happen in any dream setting in any situation. I don't necessarily experience bad things while my vision is stuck.
