This morning I had my 8th successful WILD

For the first time ever, I actually tried to do some stabilization before going off and doing lucid activities. The dream seemed stable, but I thought it would be a good idea just in case that because of instability that my dreams are ending whenever I close my eyes.

About 1 or 2 minutes into the dream, I was having sex with a DC and I closed my eyes for about 1 or 2 seconds... which caused me to wake up. It seems that whenever I close my eyes I wake up. I'm trying to not close my eyes... ever... but it's difficult as I do it out of habit.

Can someone please explain why this happens and/or also any tips or advice I can learn to not close my eyes/stay dreaming if my eyes do close?

Maybe the answer is to avoid sex... haha. It has happened to me when I was attempting to fly and I closed my eyes then.

Reallllly appreciate the help from anyone. Thank you.
