Anyone ever dream with their eyes open?

I am a frequent lucid dreamer and I wear an eye mask to sleep. Recently I’ve been “waking up”, opening my eyes and becoming aware and moving my physical body, but my eyes are still seeing the dream. I believe it has something to do with my brain being confused by the blackout of my eye mask. It only lasts for about a minute, long enough for me to move my eyes around to test how much I can see while conscious.

In the past I’ve been able to stay inside a dream and yet feel my physical body as well. Feeling the texture of my blankets or realizing my cat is laying on top of me. My capabilities in my dreams are also affected by my physical body. If my cat is laying on my legs then most of the time my legs are paralyzed in my dream. I can usually float around but my legs don’t move.
