So this last week I've finally been trying to consciously exit and try meditation. I hit a snag on like the 3rd day and I've been waiting for the forums to come back up so I can ask about it because I don't know what to do.

I relax as much as I can and when I feel I'm relaxed enough, I do my best to clear my mind and put my body to sleep. Shortly after that point, my eyes go into REM activity and it is distracting as all hell. I can't even concentrate while it's happening. Should I be trying to ignore it? Stop it and continue with meditating? What do I do? A couple of times, the vibrations started with the REM but I couldn't focus enough on an outside POV with my eyes going bonkers behind my eyelids.
