Thread: Do you blink in your dreams?

I blink in my LDs. But when I blink too hard, I tend to wake up

Sometimes, mainly when the dream is unstable.

Do you mean do your physical eyes blink, or do your dream eyes blink? Presumably you mean dream eyes, in which case how do you know people don't blink during non-lucid dreams? The only evidence would have to be anecdotal, in which case how often do you remember blinking in waking life? For most people the answer is surely almost never.

I've blinked inadvertently a few times in lucids, but never in non-lucids... At least as far as I can remember - in normal dreams, I don't really have that heightened state of mind to be able to observe such a thing.

Well blinking is a subconscious thing. And we don't really notice it, (well at least for me). But when I see something like this the makes me think about blinking, I AM conscious of it, and that makes me angry. Curse you fOrceez.

I blink in both non-lucid and lucid dreams.

I don't blink it either, I probablly will now you mentioned it -.-
Could be a good mild for me? "when I don't blink, I'm dreaming" or something similar.

Interesting question. I have never paid attention to it, but will certainly try in the next lucid.

Why don't we? I think we normally do....

And I will have to pay attention to if I blink the next time i'm in a lucid! I'm pretty sure I do.

I've never thought about blinking before in dreams. Interesting question.. I don't actually know. I don't remember actually being aware of myself blinking, but i'd assume I do.
