Blind in a dream?

Lucid Adventures
1

So this morning after waking up and writing down my dreams I decided to doze off a little bit before I get up.
Next thing I notice is that I can’t move my body. Can’t even open my eyes. I couldn’t see anything. I thought : Hey this is sleep paralysis I should roll out of my body and I can have a LD. Somehow I managed to get out of my body.
But I was still blind. I couldn’t see anything. Yet I was perfectly aware of my orientation in my room. Like having a 6th sense of some sort. I knew where everything was and where I was, I just couldn’t see them. I tried rubbing my hands together, as it always helped before to achieve better visuals but apart from feeling and kinda hearing as I rubbed them together nothing happened.

Anyone experienced this before?

Yeah, it can be an issue with WILD. You could try to pry your eyes open (may lead to FA, so be ready with an RC), yell for vision or begin to picture the room in your mind. These all tend to help me when I have sight issues.

Most times I do WILD, I need to wait a bit until I can see something correctly.

Just calm down and enjoy the show, keep counting and reminding your situation; you don’t need to force it, because you might get an real awakening…

You can also try turning lights on or something. even if you think your eyes are closed, you can still see in a dream.
