Using the WILD method I have trouble keeping my eyes completely closed,
I tend to open them a little bit every now and then.
Is this normal?
Cause it stopped me from going into the semi last phase
(from geometrical to images)
You’re not the only one and it is normal and depends on the person (I can’t keep my eyes closed sometimes as well). The best way to keep eyes from opening up is to put some kind of pressure onto them. A sleep mask would work, as well as a pillow. Just make sure it touches your eyelids and it should prevent your eyes from opening.
I got the same problem when I’m trying to WILD. Someone suggested I could try to blink rapidly for a few minutes before doing a WILD attempt, just to tire your eyelids.
I tried this, and I felt my eyes wanted to open, but they couldn’t. So I guess it worked, but I didn’t manage to get lucid though.
But, I’ve got myself a sleeping mask, which was also suggested. I haven’t tried that out yet.
I can’t express how annoying this is for me. For some reason I often sleep with my eyes partially open which just throws me out of the lucid dream I am in.
I’m going to solve it using a sleeping mask. I guess it should work.
