Thread: Reverse Blinking really works

ok I tried it several times during the night- I was lying down very still and comfortable and opening my eyes every 5-10 seconds. didn't get an LD but the first time I definitely went into SP (and by that I mean I felt a "distance" between me and my body and everything suddenly became much quieter and darker) unfortunately my eyes opened and in the next attempts I was unable to achieve this


question: you said you have to open your eyes just long enough to focus on something- what if it's dark and I don't see anything? also I open my eyes for 1-2 seconds is that correct?

i really dont think it matters, i always do it when its pitched black and it always works. and i just open my eyes for 1 sec, but you can do whatever seems to work for you.

splendid will try it in 15 mins or so (about to go to sleep)

now that you have discovered this technique though, what is your success rate with it?

The fact after I discovered it I got lucid within 48 hours says enough.

100% success rate. ive used it every night since i learned about it, its truly amazing, i now have no problems falling asleep at night.

i have yet to try it with the WILD yet, but ill let you guys know how it goes when i do it. it will be awesome if it helps cause ive never had a successful WILD yet

When I used the reverse blinking, I opened and closed my eyes as fast as a normal blink. I didn't take time to focus on anything while they were open. I found that this worked better (for me) than leaving them open for a longer period of time (1+ seconds).

I agree with KingYoshi and James LD.

My best experiences with RB come from blinking-to-open almost as quickly as I normally blink-to-shut.

I often have problems getting back to sleep after writing in my DJ during the night. RB knocked me out three times last night. And quickly too!

RB and Lucidity

I tried an experiment last night - in the five-second gap between "blinks" I used the affirmation, "I know I'm dreaming". I did not achieve lucidity.

wait- I sorta assumed RB should be tried while lying still on your back like in WILD and not moving- that's how I was attempting it. The first time I did get SP but later than night (and also today) I have tried it several times without much success- I just gave up and rolled over. now I understand you can move a bit while you attempt it and also you can attempt any position? will try tonight...

100% rate is pretty tantalizing... JamesLD do you have skype?
