My sight keeps failing!

I successfully WILDed a few nights ago after getting into bed. It took around 1 hour, 30 minutes to get into SP, but I carried on into an LD. However, to my dismay, I got up out of bed and even though I could see, everything was very, very dark. It frustrated me so much, I couldn't even think straight and remember to try accomplishing a dream goal.

Last night, I WILDed again at around 4:00 AM using WBTB for 10 minutes. I got a glass of water and went back to my bedroom. I entered an LD after around 20 minutes, without feeling much SP at all, other than hearing occasional banging noises. I got up once they ceased, and my vision was really strange - I could only see through a horizontal strip of vision in the center of my eyes, and the upper/lower parts of my eyes were really dark. I was so pissed off, I woke up. I really can't stand wasting WILDs without knowing what to do with my vision.

Help! =(

I really appreciate the helpful comments, guys. x3

You are probably going to have to stabilize the dream. Try out several different stabilization techniques and see if that helps (rubbing hands together, shouting "increase clarity now", feeling your environment using all your senses to build the scene around you, etc.). You could also try a few other things like wiping your eyes clear, putting on some glasses in your dream, using some dream eye drops, traveling to a different scene or setting (walking outside, flying downtown, walking into a different room, etc). The key is to NOT get frustrated and just practice fixing it. Also, ignoring the fact that your eyes aren't working properly and continuing with the dream can sometimes help better than any other technique. It can take your mind off the problem, thus eliminating that problem. Well good luck to you and I hope I helped out a bit!
