Thread: Your eyes and the lighting

Yeah, I think people generally agree darkness is best.. but I *completely* know what you mean when it comes to fear.. I spent an evening reading about bad WILD experiences and when I went to bed, even though I had no intention of WILDing, and even though I could hear people outside my room chatting, I was so scared!

If you do get scared then you probably won't be able to WILD anyway, fear = bad ..so for sure go ahead and try it with the lamp.. you can just experiment, if it feels like it's too light just reduce the lighting.. and if it feels like it's too dark, get the Big Bad Demon hiding in the shadows to switch the light on for you.

Sleep paralysis is nothing to be afraid of. Believe it or not, whenever you're dreaming your body is paralyzed to prevent yourself from acting out dreams.

If anything, a night light would hinder your eyes' ability to relax. Just leave the light off and quit being a pansy.

SP is perfectly safe. DV would not be freely dvising it were it not ... uh ... would they? Just kiddin'. Lucky is right, SP is actually safer than "non-SP" because without it, you'd end up jumping out of a window.

If it be the dark that you're afraid of, I suggest dim light sources such as leaving your curtains open or leaving the light outside your room switched on. If you'd rather have a brighter light on, then have it, but sleep in a way to block out this light (eg. under the covers or with an eye-mask).

Try it man.

Hmm, sounds cool. Opening the curtains does have a healthy light source coming in, but it's a bit scary still. I remember having a dream where my brother was walking in through the Back-Room window and then his faces ended up going splat at the window, then when the window was smashed with his face in it on the floor. Some people came and lifted it all up, it didn't break apart for some reason. There was multiple people that lifted it up, they were like "Sorry man" and stuff, held it up and there was the scariest crushed face ever, think Michael Jackson fusioned with the Scream. Honestly, other than the mouth, it's a good description of what I saw in that smashed window. It was also with very horrible and scary five second music. Made me quite scared of opened windows ever since.

I'll look away, look back and 'Bam'.

There was also the 'Man At The Window' my brothers used to scare me with, "There's a man at the window", used to scare the fuck out of me.

Other than that it's probably quite healthy.

Other that that? Hmmm ... maybe something else is called for. It's how comfortable you are with it, that counts.
