Thread: Third eye, I need help

Well, I've personally always seen random colors and I wouldn't say my "third eye was awake" all this time
such color sensation can also be caused by looking at a bright screen for a few hours (or basically anything bright) as far as I know

Well I was looking at a screen before but the forehead third eye pain, does it mean It is activating?

*Moved to Beyond dreaming

I personally don't believe in the spiritual third eye
but people who believe that the third eye exists would probably say that it's your third eye

some people refer to the pineal gland as the "third eye" too. The pineal gland releases melatonin when it's dark, so your sleep cycle remains stable. As far as I know the pineal gland is pretty much at the center of your brain (obviously not between your eyes), so it can't be the reason for that pain/feeling
It's referred to as the third eye because some animals (eg lizards) still have a spot between their eyes which can sense light, the "third eye". (In humans, however, it's turned into the pineal gland)

Thank you for the responses guys. I think you have to activate your third eye to lucid dream though. If anyone has activated their third eye please respond.

Perhaps you should rethink that opinion? You have gone an entire year without any lucid dreams, maybe the third eye isn't the key to lucid dreams.

The key to opening the mind is to first let there be no mind.

That's a good point.

As long as I'm here: Spencerd, I'm pretty sure there should be no pain involved in opening your third eye, as it is traditionally a mystical, and not physical event.

Also, I've had more than a few LD's with no concern for a third eye; I'm not sure it matters that much...is there a reason you think it must be opened to LD successfully?

No, I know that you don't need to have your third eye to lucid dream. I just am tired of so many attempts at astral projection I wish there was an easier way to project and lucid dream.

There is, it's called intuition. If you have no notion of such a thing, then try different methods and different ways of thinking about how to astral project until you find the one that works for you. "opening your third eye" is like a tool that works for some people, it probably works great for people that are raised into that type of teachings and for people that can easily understand mystical concepts. But apparently it doesn't work for you so let that toolkit go and find another There are plenty
