Thread: Closed Eyes

WOW!!!!!

I was just going to come and post that in my 3rd lucid dream this morning, my eyes kept closing and I kept opening them. That is very strange. I'm guessing this is common?

Dude, that exact same thing kept happening to me. it suckes ass. I also could barely move my arms and legs. so i spent the entire dream looking around at how realistic everything was. I WAS IMPRESSED. anyways, and hints. maybe our brains were drifting from almost awake into dreaming. that would explain why i was soooo awake in the dream. kind of like a seasaw wavering in the middle. Thats my best guess, so try to LD when you're a little more tired. or when you get into am LD, DONT MOVE. if you start moving you'll get too excited and your eyes will close. Just lay, sit, or stand to let yourself get used to it. In my first one i was so supprised i didnt move for for 5 minutes after my reality check. I followed that up with 15 minutes of closing eyes, immovable limbs, and failure at manipulation.

Well, during my last LD (not during the WILD), since I couldn't look around (obviously ) I tried to concentrate on my other senses to feel the world around me as "real", and in the meantime I was slowly (to limit the risk of waking up) raising my upper body; I was almost ready to exit my bed when I told myself "Damn, how can I move around with my eyes closed? I won't see anything!", so at that point I did everything to open my eyes...

I had an idea after wakig up however. Since I had no problem opening my eyes BEFORE realizing I was dreaming, maybe "making yourself" open your eyes through some kind of automatic action would work; for example thinking in the most "realistic" way possible something like "What time is it?" (I mean, trying to make your subconscious think that you thought it "for real"; I know, that sounds strange ): maybe you would "automatically" watch the clock, and at that point you would open your eyes... I don't know if this would work though and I think that a lot of practice would be needed... what do you think?

I wish I can get impressed by being lucid. Even though my first one suprised me, my last 2 (even though I actually did something) didn't excite me. I think it might be the fact that I wasn't fully aware of my surroundings. And when I wake up it's hard to remember what I did the whole time. All I've done in my dreams so far is float (I think), fall, walk around, talk to people, summon people, and that's about it. Kinda sucks even though I had a lucid dream that lasted at least 40 minutes. It's like I forget what I wanted to do (the lucid task is one thing).

Hominus Feralis, I think the reason you can't walk or see is maybe because you try to imagine it. It's the same thing I have done. It doesn't work. I realized when I woke up that I needed to open my eyes and everything would appear. Try it, hopefully it will work for you.
