Thread: Reverse Blinking really works

I read about reverse blinking a couple days ago here on the forum and ive been using it the last couple nights to fall asleep and its insane how effective it is. within like 5-10 minutes i would be just dead tired and one night i even started feeling like i was falling through my bed. i have yet to try it with a WILD but i soon will.

for those of you that dont know about reverse blinking check it out, http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=24607

oh and in the past when i have felt that falling through my bed feeling my breathing would immediately increase and become deeper and all i can do is focus on my body and it never goes anywhere. ive heard that that feeling has something to do with sleep paralysis and falling into deeper sleep, is that true? and if so what can i do to not let that feeling effect me so i can enter sleep paralysis?

I used reverse blinking combined with WILD a few times before and it worked really well getting my body ice and tired. I had completely forgot about it. That truly is good stuff right there .

As for the breathing, it is ok if you can feel it. The key is to not focus too much attention on it. You have to try to get your attention on something else. I suggest letting your mind wonder. Try thinking some random thoughts and casually observing them. If you are getting some HI you can watch it as well. If your HI is limited, try listening to the sounds around you. Just try to relax and act as if you are relaxing on a pool side/beach/etc.

Really, it just takes some practice and you will get more and more used SP and WILDing. After some successful attempts you will figure out which "mindset" works best for you. Good Luck!

I had missed that particular tutorial. And here I thought I'd read it all. LOL. Anyway, I tried it last night and yeah, that really works. I didn't expect it to work so quickly. Thanks for pointing me to this!

lucidreamsavy just sent me this! I think this will be super beneficial to my attempts for my first WILD!

Looks really promising. The user opinions here support that too. I am going to try it tonight then!

will try it also sounds most intriguing- I hope my visualization abilities will suffice

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?

interesting, I'll have to try that.

I did it in the day to see how it went I got SP really quick, but not LD.
Last night with a combination of Yoshis WILD + WBTB and reverse blinking, I got an amazing LD in the late hours of the morning.

I've tried this for 2 nights in a row. It hasn't worked.

I wonder if some people are more susceptible to falling into a trance.

No prob loaf. Maybe I should've worded more clearly; I know some people have started to WILD in LDs and have achieved multiple LDs.

I've known people say that the effectiveness of RB has worn off after they'd done it some times. Can't remember the thread that was from.

It doesn't seem to work for some people at all Flashdance. That's one of the frustrating things about LDing - someone can find a technique that works really well for them but it doesn't work for others, and you can find a technique that works for you and it doesn't work for others.

Maybe I've been doing it wrong. I've just been trying RB when first retiring for the night. It's been suggested to me to try it with WBTB after 4 hours of sleep.

I'll give that a shot. I'll be trying this method for a long time before giving up on it.

EDIT: Loaf, I am glad it's working so great for you.

I use RB when I first fall asleep, simply to fall asleep. It amazes me how quickly you feel tired after practicing reverse blinking. You could try and use RB before sleep along with a mantra/self-affirmation to MILD. Of course, WBTBs and naps would be the best time to use this if you are attempting WILD. Good Luck!

I have to say that reverse blinking is fantastic for falling asleep. It literally takes me a matter of few minutes! I'll try WILD tonight after some sleep..

I read about this and tried it last night... and I actually had a lucid dream! It may have just been a coincidence, but I havnt had a lucid dream in like 2 months!

Seems to work for me making me sleepy faster. Haven't had any luck inducing WILD yet but I couldn't do it before finding out about this technique either but hopefully this will help.

This thread is old. But, I am glad you bumped it because I forgot about this technique. It makes me fall asleep really fast.

I'm addicted to this tech,not only for ld it can be use to meditation perfectly.Lot of times i catching myself to start wondering about random thoughts, and return for doing the tech, which is the key about meditation for lucid dreaming.
I also reach a lot of times the state when u totally start to not feel your body at all.
i am using rb more times a day and when i go to bed every time. I find it much more powrful when u really keep your eyes open for 2-3 seconds and while doing that focus on a certain point.(becouse i've read someone using the tech literally reverse blinking, so they open their eyes exectly like when they closing, when they normally
blinking.I've tried the both tech, and working much better when i keep open for 2-3 secs.)
I did not achieved lucids with this but i love it.
Most of the times i can enter trance state extremely easy,but ending up always falling asleep, but dont care, keep doing it, its also good for meditation as i said b4

Just learned about Reverse Blinking last week from doing deep dives into various DV threads. I LD maybe once per month, and almost always by recognizing a dream sign in an active dream or upon dream exit. I have never managed to WILD. Until last night.

Did the basics - lay on my back, reverse blinked, began to get drowsy. Eyelids began to feel "sticky". Got to a point where I could not open my eyelids and was in sleep paralysis. No sensations other than that. Recalled from reading various threads that this can be a problem - several people report entering SP, but tough to go from there. I then used a technique I picked up from the Phase crowd (Michael Raduga's obe4u site and books) called "straining the brain" where you pretend the brain is a muscle and try to "flex" it. I "strained the brain", felt a little "pop" and then brought on the vibrations. "Exited" from there.

I just want to say thank you to everyone for bringing Reverse Blinking to my attention. I can't wait to see how consistently I can make it work!

RB definitely works for me in terms of helping to get to sleep or to the start of HI/SP.
I'm not sure how it will pan out in the long term, but it's certainly another "weapon in the armoury" for LD techniques.
I used it last night to get to sleep quickly first, then on waking during the night I had a successful WILD using it. The only other times I've managed to WILD its taken more than an hour, but this happened in about ten minutes. Could be "new technique" effect, but promising!

Para fazer o piscar reverso precisa de sono???
