Never knew LDs would be so clear

I had my very first lucid dream last night that I had full control over. It started when I was walkign down my street and my friend mentioned something about me dreaming. I instantly realised I was asleep so for the first time ever I remembered to spin around. when I stopped spinning everything was crystal clear. I decided to try and take control of my dream and I could rather easily. I flew around my neighborhood and conjured fireballs. I am very excited to have my first clear lucid dream but have one problem. I fidn it very difficult to open my eyes while I dream without waking up. Does this happen to anyone else?

Coooool! And congratulations - may this be the first of many many more!!!

Always wanted to throw fireballs - I think I've tried and failed a few times - usually I'm quite peaceful in LD - a little perverted perhaps - but hey...
However, RE: eyes - no, never had a problem with seeing. Does this mean that you dream of blackness until you open your eyes, and then wake up? Weird! In fact I'm not sure I've ever tried closing them in a dream - this is why I spin to change scene, rather than close my eyes and open them again which some people do.
