Dreaming With Your Eyes Open?

Beyond Dreaming
1

Yesterday I took a little nap in my car at a park. At some point I looked up and saw everything around me like normal. I tried to look out the window, but realized I couldn’t move. After trying a few things, I realized I felt “wide awake” and not just in a SP where I could fall back asleep.

With some struggling I was able to grab hold of the wheel and pull myself up a whole…inch, but my vision didn’t change as I felt myself move. Out of curiosity I grabbed my phone from my pocket and held it up before me to see what time it was, and how long I had until the alarm went off. I couldn’t see it though, nor could I see my hand. No matter what I did, my vision was fixed in one position. It wasn’t like a still picture though; as I watched birds fly by, the wind move the tree branches, and clouds move in the sky. It took some time, but eventually I felt myself wake up, though my vision remained exactly the same and my eyes never opened.
That’s when I realized from how dry they were, they must’ve been open all along. I also noticed that my phone was neither in my hand nor my pocket, but rather on the armrest where I left it before.

I have a few thoughts of my own, but I would like to hear what others make of it. :content:

Hmm… this really just sound like an SP dream to me. It’s happened to me a few times where I dream that I’m in SP. Alternatively, you could have been trying to move your RL body whilst you were still asleep and dreaming, hence no change in vision.

Other way around for me, I enter SP and dream state with eyes open and the vision slowly goes away from RL. This is when I get most of my HJ’s :tongue:

I cant recall a moment where I opened my eyes like that and got stuck though :roll:

Actually, it sounds like overlaid vision. I read on Lucidity.com (I’m using Newport’s SDR tech all this week) and one sign that your close to an OBE is overlaid vision. Overlaid vision is when you see RL and a dream scene simultaneously that are usually close to the same.

Oh, and maybe you went into SP with your eyes open and they froze like that? Wicked hard SP then.

you know, i once had an FA like that. sounds just like it to me. i supposedly ‘woke up’ in my bed, but could barely move. i took my phone and started writing stuff, but the letters just didn’t appear. my whole view felt like a frozen computer screen or something. i even moved my hand, but nothing happened. i picked up though that it’s an FA because i was wearing sunglasses in my bed :cool_laugh: now why would i be doing that. made myself wake up… right into another FA :rofl:
