Dream Senses

[purplepearl678]

How good are your senses in both lucid and non-lucid dreams? I also need some tips for developing all of them, so if you could drop some that would be much appreciated. Mine Vision: Mine switches between being near-blind and being extremely vivid with everything being really bright. Hearing: Not bad, but very echoey which can get annoying. Taste: Non-existent. Smell: Non-existent. Touch/Feel: Non-existent, in non-lucid dreams I'm like a ghost. In the few semi-lucid dreams I've had, I've been a corporeal being but I still don't feel anything which really sucks because I could be riding a 500 foot roller coaster and I don't feel a thing. It doesn't even feel like I'm riding a coaster, it feels more like I'm watching a YouTube video of one.

Well, my vision is probably best, but the dream scene is usually quite shifty. Hearing is good too, but my lucids tend to be silent-ish; or at least, I can only remember myself talking/wooping. xD I haven't tried taste or smell before but I would imagine they are hard to experience. And my tactile senses are okay, it doesn't feel as real as reality, the wind is not as real or as cold, but I can feel it. I guess if you can't feel, you should just start out small, try to touch the ground, feel your fingers etc. Touch things which you know the feel of and are familiar with and you will improve, or at least, this is how I improved touch in lucid/semi-lucid experiences.

I am normally very in tune with all senses in a dream. If I eat I taste, if I pass by a place that should smell, it does. My only problem is forgetting my hearing. I hear it normally at first, but then I forget what it sounded like straight away, I will even remember what I heard but forget what it sounded like. I would recommend just paying more attention to the world around you and working on dream recall. If you are working on dream recall the right way, your dreams should be more vivid and realistic as well. http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...kingyoshi.html http://www.dreamviews.com/dream-sign...ompendium.html

My vision in both lucid and non-lucid dreams seems to be fine, nothing special though. Same for hearing. Taste seems to be varying between non-lucid dreams, though don't appears as often. Haven't tried in lucid yet. Smell very rarely appears to be in lucid or non lucid, if at all. Touch i think is my strongest sense in dream, it's always present and often surprises me(non-lucid dreams with transformations for example), and i appear to always get vivid tactile sensations during HH/HI as well. As for training/developing i have already posted idea that would work for smell, and not that i think about it, it could work for vision and hearing as well. And the idea is to transform into something which have certain sense at more advanced level. Have not tried myself yet, but it's on my todo list.

Vision: Quite good. Usually about the same as real life, sometimes much less, but sometimes it seems even clearer than real life. (like having crystal clear vision as far as you can see) Hearing: Quite good. Usually about the same as real life, sometimes better. (like being able to hear far off conversations) Taste: Varies. Some foods, very bland, other foods, about as good as real life. Smell: N/A. Haven't tested it on anything yet. (in almost all of my lucid dreams I've been flying or inside, unfortunately) Touch/Feel: Pretty good. Usually a bit less than real life, but sometimes it's barely anything.

I have seen a lot of people say that food (especially desserts) taste amazing in their lucids. They even say the food tastes better than anything they have had in real life. I remember Naiya posting a dream vividly describing this, but she deleted it. That would probably be my most developed. If I had to put the senses in order from most developed to least developed for me it would be: Taste, vision, touch, hearing, smell.
