Eyesight in Dreams and Volume

Hi everyone, cloud9wannablucid here. (Wow that's a long name :shock:)

Anyway I have a question. How is everyone's eyesite in dreams? If you wear glasses/contacts in real life do you wear them in your dreams? Have you ever noticed?

I ask because early this morning I had a dream in which someone was coming into my kitchen via the backdoor and I couldn't see who it was because my eyesite was so horrible. I mean, it really is horrible in real life and I wear glasses. In my dream I asked the person who they were because I didn't have my glasses on, and I didn't want to run and get them because I was naked and the person was a guy.

So, anyone can explain that?
Also, how is volume? I ask because in several dreams when I'm in a bad situation or something and I try to yell or speak louder my voice remains very quiet and soft. In real life I am quite soft spoken but I mean, I DO have the ability to yell. What's the deal?

Thanks all. :)

I actually wear glasses but in my dreams I do not. And the volume. It depends. My brain sometimes makes me unable to speak certain things, or move. It depends though. It's not like you have a volume control.

I always see better in dreams than I do in real life. In fact, that's one quick reality check. But usually I see things differently in dreams, depends on the dream. Sometimes colors all have different sensations, as though maybe I was seeing infrared or ultraviolet. And a lot of times I have kind of a more wrap around vision, showing me a wider view but with less dependable depth perception.

Your dream eyesight copied your real eyesight? Lucidly you should be able to make your dream eyesight improve just by telling it to, as long as you can imagine it being better.

Your dream might be copying reality, I think I read once that when we are asleep our voices are hindered by the same sleep paralysis which effects the rest of the body. The solution I found was to focus on having a dream voice seperate from my real voice.

Before that, I was having trouble talking in dreams too. And when I did manage to talk, every word tended to have magical-spell-like powers, and did strange things like ripping holes in the sky.

do you wear your glasses often (like everyday) IRL? sometimes ill get lazy and decide not to wear my contacts (my vision also sucks!) and my surrondings are just one big blur when i dont.and ive noticed when i dont wear them for a while (like a month or even a couple of days :roll: my dream scenes become blurry like IRL. so they copy my vision. so i tried wearing my contacts the next day (after not wearing them for a week an made sure to look around at all the detail i had missed in my surroundings) an that night i had a really vivid/detailed,clear/sharp dream! for me my dream vision copies how well i saw that day in real life. so maybe its the same for you?

Thanks all! I'll keep this in mind. Maybe in the future (when I gain more control) I can better my situation. Thanks! :)
