The visual

So when I lucid dream I have the worst time with sight, unless its a DILD that takes place as soon as i'm in the dream...the ones where you enter the dream, and it just feel obvious...you know what I mean.

Anyway my problems include...

Bar vision - there is a like...take a peice of paper to the top of your computer screen and move it down half way. That is what the vision is like.

fuzzy vison - those of you who have an astigmatism know what I mean.

lack of vision - speaks for itself right?...anyway, I get the physical sensations of the dream, but I can not see any of what is going on.

And my dreams are too crazy to write a journal about them. I'm always changing from one scene to the next, one moment i'm in my appartment, another i'm in the parking lot, another i'm in a pool of sludge, i'm a vampyre, and my fangs are falling out due to cavities...then i'm running away from the office i'm magically in, and then i'm outside watching another vampire burst into flame due to the sun.

Another problem is, when i'm controlling my dream, if something goes against what i'm trying to do...I wake up. That may be coincedence but I don't think it is. Example: I was in my dream, using telekinisis to move a coke can around...after some trial and error I figured it out, and then started playing around with the DC register guy...He raised his freaking hand and grabbed my coke can that was flying around him, and I couldn't move it anymore, so I woke up =(

You should practice dream control then. And also start off by stabilizing the dream.

About fuzzy vision, just though of an idea, I wonder what happens if you summon a pair of lucid glasses. After you put them on it might sharpen your vision!
Hmm, another idea. The glasses might work at first, but after a while the image may become fuzzy again, so it might help if you have a focus knob at the side of the glasses. When you turn it, it changes the focus ( like in a camera with manual focus ) until you can get a sharp vision. This way whenever the picture losses focus, you can turn the knob until it become sharp again.

Sandform, how do you do the VWTPIWBTBILD which is mentioned in your sig?

Next time you LD, and control is weak, try and sit down and do nothing.
Work at stabilizing and gaining control by first ruling the area nearest you.
Focus on the nearest objects, feel the brick or wood, tap your feet on the concrete, dirt, grass, etc...
Sometimes in my LD's, I will stand there and practice bringing objects into my hand. It's kind of creepy, but I am good at it now.
Sometimes in waking life, I think I can do it. (scary)

I think dreams can be directed by our actions, sitting down forces the dream generator to 'sit down'. Get up and run, the dream activity returns.
LD's can be like normal life, the attention is wherever you are focused.

I tried the spinning method about an hour ago and it worked =).

Also, Brandon is the one with the VWTPIWBTBILD not me =)

Good work there! So what was the dream about?

A skeleton army, which didn't care if I killed them, and a zombie hord, which tried to kill me...
