Last night I had my first successful lucid dream. Unfortunately, and perhaps because it was my first time, I was not able to exert particularly fine control over it; I was just able to confirm that I was dreaming, and to summon minor objects (I was not able to change the fact that I was in my house, but I was able to create a computer where there isn’t one in my house, for example). My biggest obstacle was that for some reason I was not able to see out of my left eye, which I think distracted me from being able to make any larger changes. The only reason for this that I can think of is that I usually sleep on my stomach, and perhaps I had that side of my face pressed into my pillow. Would that have any bearing on a dream in your experiences, or is it just one of those things that I’ll get with practice?

Many thing affect your dreams though, and I rarely actually fall asleep on my stomach, so for me that’s probably the case.
sometimes I can see through both eyes, but only the lower half, as if my eyes were half shut
