Thread: Is it just me or my glasses aren't working?

This one is for those that wear glasses,

I had a dream the other night where I had trouble seeing (my dream was not very focused or vivid) kinda like I am without my glasses . So I kept trying to put my glasses on to make it better, but it would not change anything. I'd see my glasses go on to my face, but looking through them made no difference.

So as I woke up I realized that my glasses weren't the problem but rather that my dream was not clear enough. I thought that maybe this could be a new dream sign, or lucidity trigger... if ever this happens again.

Maybe it could be turned in a RC, putting on my glasses to see if they work. Or if taking them off makes a difference.

What do you guys think?

Seems like it could work as an RC, just make sure that you do another RC with it until you are sure that the majority of your dreams involve blurry vision.

I wear glasses, but oddly enough in every dream I've had, I've never had them on! This actually seems like a very good Reality Check for us and our other 4-eyed friends.

You know, I've got pretty good vision and don't wear glasses and in dreams I can barely see a thing from time to time...It has nothing to do with your real vision...it had to do with the dream itself. Your glasses are just another dream object and are not going to make things more clear. If you want perfect vision in a dream you can have it. You can get it any way you like, through beleif, verbal commands, walking around the corner and expecting to see something sharp, bright and clear, but what I'd reccomend is this: Walk up to a wall or any object and begin to feel it's texture...this ALWAYS works for me to add detail and really add a whole other dimension to the dream (and extend a lucid dream) Use the tactile sense, i'm sure it will do something for you. Another idea that may work is plopping on your glasses after expecting them to do something for your eyes...you know that it's a dream so anything is possible, why not make your glasses work if you would like to try it that way?

I'm sure you'll overcome this and see more sharply soon (in dreams)...wish I could help ya otherwise

I wear glasses/contacts and have never had dream (lucid or non) in which I'm wearing them. My vision appears to be perfect when I'm dreaming.

Perfect vision without glasses should be a good dream sign for you to use.

Yep.. it should be but I never recognize it.

You're right, I never have glasses in my dreams either. But that one time, my dream wasn't as clear as they usually are (I smoked marijuana the night before, it could be why...don't judge me) anyways, so that's why I kept trying to put them on, because I kept thinking that that's what the problem was, when in reality it was just my dream that was screwed up.

Next time I LD, I'll try this out:
(a) check if I'm wearing my glasses, and put them on if i'm not.(in LDs I pull absolutely anything out of my pockets... anything) Try to see if it makes a difference.
(b)And if I am wearing them, I'll take them off.
And if nothing happens, I got myself a new RC.
