I'm interested as always in new methods and meditations. Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to check it out. I can already see the connection between samatha meditation and the lotus technique used widely by some people.

Woah i just tryed this sitting at my desk starring at my empty water bottle for 10 minutes straight and i felt like the room was falling forwards. then my right ball(of the eye) started to hurt so i stopped. It felt sweet though. i think i can get used to this everyday.

Interesting, I'll give this a try. I'm trying to master lucid dreams so I can explore the dream world and create my own world, so thank you for posting this. <3

Lol thanks for clarifying

Yes improving focus etc will improve your dreaming as will pretty much anything like meditation. I'm skeptical about the skip one day and you have to start over thing though.

ok I did this and it was odd, like my surrondings blurred up and al I could see was the word I was focusing on. Pretty weird, can this be bad for your eyes though? Like my legs and everything I could see were all blurred and also like white and foggy.

It was like I was in a world that stood still and only the word I was looking at exisited. It was pretty cool but a little scary even a bit.

Well, I dont think its bad since its just staring fixedly at something, and we do this very often (reading, using the computer, etc.).

Of course if you exaggerate then it might bring physical/psychological problems. Just do it for some minutes, then look at something which is far (the landscape or w/e), to change you eye's focus point, so it can relax.. that's what I do when I spend too much time in front of a monitor.

IMO this helps a lot, although the part where you said that when you skip one day everything's lost... is wrong (for me at least).
Some suggestions:
You could start doing this in a quiet room for some time, then do it for a longer time a day, then when you think you can keep up the concentration you might even place some distractions, like music (if that distracts you, i guess it depends on the music anyway)...

What Polmc said about relaxing the eyes by changing a focal point is intersting. Sorry to be a bit off topic but if I don't do that (I never feel the need to event hough my eyes seem to hurt all the time) would it affect my eyesight? I'm just a bit worried because I'm definetaly a bit short sighted and I think it's getting worse.
