I had a dream this morning, and I knew I was dreaming. But my 'dream' eyes were closed, and I was afraid to open them because I could still feel my body on the bed and I didn't want to open my 'real' eyes by mistake.
But I tried anyway, just opened my eyes a sliver, and I saw a yellow pillow. I assumed that I had just opened my 'real' eyes by accident, so I immediately closed them again. And I sort of lost lucidity after that.

The problem is, I don't have a yellow pillow on my bed. So it was all a trick! X( I was lucid dreaming while I was sleeping in my dream. Which is weird. But the question is, how am I supposed to avoid this in the future? Should I just go ahead and open my eyes next time? I am dying to become fully lucid, and it annoys me when my mind tricks me like this.
