      I discovered something interesting (but useless) about my dreams last night...

      In one of my dreams last night (I was lucid), I stopped and remembered something I have been wondering about for a while, concerning my dreams. Do I blink in dreams? I thought of what I had just been doing in my dream, and I had my answer as I stood still, thinking. I do blink in my dreams. I also found out that I wasn't wearing glasses (I wear glasses in real life), and I found this fun and random.

      Now, have any of you lucid dreamers out there thought of this before? Do you blink in your dreams?

      Weird, I mean blinking. Did you catch yourself blinking, or just think that you probably did? I would have guessed I don't, but I don't know for sure.

      I've heard other people say they don't wear their glasses in dreams, and that's actually a good RC, but I've never remembered to pay attention to that either.

      I caught myself blinking while thinking about it, and I remembered blinking just a few seconds ago in the dream.

      So other people with glasses also don't wear them in dreams, that's interesting.

      I thought about this before. I tried not to blink, but like real life my eyes started to hurt. Then in the same dream I was trying to find my glasses because my vision was bad.

      ^Probably

      I'm going to try to remember to notice if I have my glasses on or not; I'm pretty sure not. It is a good RC, since you can kind of see your glasses a little bit if you look for them.

      It might be cool to convince yourself that you will see extra-good if you put your glasses on.

      I don't blink in dreams. If I do blink, it's for longer than a second, and when I open my eyes I may be somewhere different!

      I wear glasses/contacts but have never had dreams (lucid or non) in which I'm wearing them. My vision appears to be perfect when I'm dreaming.

      I also don't recall blinking in dreams but I did find the following threads about "blinking" in dreams:

      I haven't even thought about if I blink or not in a dream, I didn't even try to see my body until recently. A technique I use to get clarity right after I know its a dream is to look at my hands. I don't breathe in dreams, but I can feel my body breathing if that makes any sense.

      You don't breathe in dreams? I know I do! I thought it was normal to breathe in dreams?...
