Paralysis

as with most of my lucid dreams i just realized i was dreaming with no reality checks whatsoever in the dream i could not open my eyes because if i did the dream went blurry and i would go into sleep paralysis and i would change positions and be back in my bed, so i kept my eyes closed (i could still see) and went outside where there was patches of snow on the ground. after looking outside i went back in my house and was jumping around my living room trying to fly to convince my DC family i was dreaming but at the same time they was trying to convince me i was not, then i remembered how can i see if my eyes are closed which convinced them. i then remembered some tasks i was reading about 1. look in a mirror (unfortunately not this months) 2. ride a sea turtle (i think it was one of the tasks of the year) so i chose to look in the mirror and seen that i had no eyes and looked different ( i had short hair and no facial hair whereas in real life i have long hair and stubble) so i opened my eyes and eyes grew on my face in the mirror and then my face started morphing. i then remembered sivasons advice of looking at my hand (to help dream vividness and control?) as i was looking at my hand and the details kept on becoming clearer and then blurry and then they morphed into the surface texture of a golf ball. i then asked my subconscious to show my something brilliant and i woke up.
