Paralysis

Non-lucid, Lucid I woke up just now at around 5:38 AM. Before that, I was sleeping with my back on the bed, and I was thinking of a few images. Then one came by really quick, like it was going inside of a vortex (like the one below, but it was dark blue and the picture was white with a bit of bright colors in it). To give you a better realization of what I experienced, watch this video from Code Lyoko when <PERSON> deactivates a tower. (The part at 30 seconds and the rest of the video is what I am talking about, but it went spiral to the right for me. That same image that I saw in a rectangular medium was about to go into the darkness, I CLENCHED MY FISTS that VERY MOMENT BEFORE IT WAS GONE, then it just came back up. Before it went into the vortex, I clenched my fists and thought in my mind that I wanted it back. Then I feel this sudden rush of energy and feel myself laying down. I am still thinking if I am trying to induce sleep paralysis, but then my whole body gets bent and then. I feel this heavy object on me as I wake up, (I am having one of those few lucid dreams where it is vivid as heck!) (When I was being elevated by the heavy object, it was something like this in this video) (around 30 seconds, except I did not get pierced in the butt xD) I was shocked at first, but I sort of repressed the urge to open my eyes in waking life. I decided to do a reality check by pinching my nose, and I was able to breathe, but when I try to exhale air through my nose, I had some difficulty. The heavy object was suddenly elevated, I did not even bother to look at it. My mind was just clear and aware, and I stood up and decided to look around my surroundings. The light was on,(It was not on in waking life) and see that my room is a little wider than it normally is. There is a black chair, and I believe my computer desk was there too,(it is in the living room in waking life). I tried my best not to panic or anything, I have full mobility. I wanted to have some medium that I use to remind myself that I am dreaming and to be aware of my senses in the dream world, so I called out "<PERSON>," and a gray ball appeared in my hand that was similar to the knead eraser I had in waking life that I use for drawing. Then after I am really aware that I am dreaming, I tried to focus on finding my dream guide, but some kind of reflex in me wanted to open up my eyes in waking life, and I have been suggested to let the dream come to me, but trust me, this dream CAME TO ME ALREADY. Darn it! Oh well, I will attempt it again tonight! I really need some help with making myself not open my eyes and learn to use my dream eyes. I feel as if I was following a certain technique when I clenched my fists, but I was not holding an object that allowed me to see my dream hands. It is just that when I have a dream this vivid, it is just so compelling to open your eyes, even though it was vivid enough with my dream eyes. I have read most of the popular guides and some that did not get to have such glorifying recognition, it is just this eye problem that bothers me. If I can just find a way to stop opening them and use my dream eyes, I can get on with finding my DG.
