Stabalization

**blakethegrea** · 12-18-2011 03:32 AM

I have a real problem with what i consider stabilization, or clarity which I will explain.Once i go lucid i have a problem with keeping both eyes "open". I act as if its hard to keep both eyes open and in the dreams it seems so. So i usually end up having one eye closed. Rember this is all my perspective and i havent been able to change it willingly although it seems if i ignore it i see "with both eyes open"

Instead of struggling to open that eye, have you considered remembering that your actual eyes are not present in a dream, and are both comfortably closed on your physical body's sleeping face? In other words, in your dream there are no eyes to open or close, only images your dreaming mind chooses to present.

Well i did experience once lucid were one of my eyes was half shut and it was really annoying, but after stabilization everythin went back to normality. Stabilization is something that is very important yet very delicate in lucid dreaming, you need this to extend your time in the dream and have it as crisp and detailed as posible. Here is a great tutorial on how to stabilize a dream succesfully Dream Stabilization and Clarity Tutorial - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Summary of the tutorial if you dont whanna read the whole thing is that basicly, remain calm and extend your both hands in front of your eyes and watch them with as much detail as posible for a minute or half a minute and in the meanwhile scream "ANCHOR LUCIDITY NOW!" and then after about 30secs-1 minute look up and your dream should be fully stabilized.

Good luck happy dreaming!

I used to have a lot of problems with lucid dreaming and my eyes/sight (because you of course don't need eyes to see in a dream), sometimes i wouldn't be able to see, my vision would fade in and out. What I found to be helpful is using verbal commands, that's probably one of the most useful stabilization techniques for me personally
