Thread: Close Your Eyes [stabilization, creation method]

Warning: This 'technique' requires some DEILD knowledge!

So hey everyone

Most people are against the idea of closing your eyes during a lucid dream, because it wakes you up... well, if you are conscious enough about what you are doing, then it can even help you, instead of waking you up.

In my latest lucids i found out a new method for stabilization and creation of things. Maybe this is known already, but i couldn't really find a thread that detailed it well enough.

Do you know how to get back into a dream with DEILD? Well if not: In short, once the dream collapsed, you start focusing back on the dream that you were in and soon you'll find yourself back in. It works easily for me, but some people have problems with this.
For this technique you might need a bit of practise of DEILD.


What do you need to do? In steps:

1. Close your dream eyes once the dream starts to get unstable/you want to create something.
2. Once all you see is black, focus on the dream itself and/or imagine the thing you want to create.
3. Don't open your eyes!
4. Soon your vision will return (it takes around 5 seconds for me) and you are back where you were before, but most probably with a more stable version of the dream and/or with the thing you wanted to create.
5. Have fun!


As far as i noticed, this method works well if you want to create things that are bigger than something that you can pull from outside of your vision range, or just things that you have trouble with to create.
It also works well when the dream is about to get unstable, because you recreate the same environment (or a different one if you'd like, but then focus on that), but in a more stable form.


I would be glad if some others would try and test this for me themselves, because based only on my own experiences, i can't say for sure that it works for anyone
