Hello! Im new here, this is my first post, and i am yet to attain lucidity, mainly for lack of habits for doing reality checks. But i cross by eyes randomly throughout the day, so i wanted someone to check to see if you can cross your eyes in a dream thanks!
I'm pretty sure you can cross your eyes in a dream. Since it's something you can easily do in real life then I do not see why you couldn't in a dream. Thus this would make this not the best reality check as it would not work.
You can click here for a list of some good reality checks and some great information about them as well. But feel free to make up your own reality check if you want.
May I also suggest you check out Puffin's Beginner's guide to lucid dreaming . Definitely some great information to be found there.
In addition to doing regular reality checks you should also be practicing awareness, after all it is your awareness that makes you become lucid. Reality checks help make you aware but actually practicing awareness for a while throughout the day is going to give you better success. Here is a good lucid dreaming tutorial involving daily awareness: Puffin's SAT tutorial
Hope this helps man!
I can cross my eyes and move both independently, but I would think doing that in a dream would either fail for some reason, or it would blur your vision in the dream and it would destabilize, like if you close your eyes in a dream.
I wouldn't recommend it for newbies trying to get a decent lucid like me, but maybe someone with experience wouldn't mind risking a lucid to test it out for you.
Hi there my friend,
Welcome to DV. Crossing your eyes is actually possible in a dream(I've tried it twice) but I won't recommend it to you. Just like what Avalanche said, it might destabilize your dream and get you off the right track. But don't get downed, there's a lot of reality checks out there waiting to be used. You can try reading the official Reality Check Tutorial to know the basic RCs.
If you do still have some questions, feel free to reply back Hope this helps :)
I don't think it would work as a reality check, in it's own, because I'm sure the same thing happens in dreams, BUT you could use it to become more aware. Anytime you do it, just do a nose pinch reality check, or look around and question where you are.
Thanks weakamon. The reason i believed you might not be able to do it in a dream is, if your mind is creating the dream in 3D in real time, and its just part of your imagination, why would crossing your eyes change anything? Everything would normally be equally blurry anyway
