      Twitching Eyes

      Ok, i've searched alot of threads and I don't recall anything about this. Ok, lately i've been doing WILD's and during the day just to make sure everything is right ect. Well, I can't keep my eyes close without twitching. It has gotten better, but boy, once colors and shapes take place im twitching non stop! I also read somewhere where you shouldnt force your eyes shut...


      Well any advice is appreciated, thanks.

      REM: Rapid Eye Movement
      You're entering REM - where dreams happen. It's a good thing.

      Oh, I guess I was very unsuspecific. Sorry. I mean before I even start getting close to REM I do it. Like right after I close my eyes, my eyelids start shutting and clossing slightly. After the color comes they still do it, but faster.

      No problem!
      I've had this once or twice, usually after I've been using my computer/tv for a long time, then I close my eyes. I doubt its anything to worry about.
      When it happens after the colors and stuff, I think thats the REM, as the colors and shapes are hynogogia/SP kicking in.

      Also, whenever I am "trying" to keep my eyes closed, I notice a kind of twitching. That's probably not my eyes though, it's probably my eyelids twitching.

      REM is actually more like normal eye movements (looking left and then right maybe 2-3 times per second). It's more like looking around, not your eyes fluttering all over the place. I'd say Xyn is experiencing more like a muscle spasm or twitch for no particular reason.

      Just my input.
      LD Counter (as of 07.25.07) = 5 (2 WILDs)
      Short-term goal: Recall three full dreams a night for a full week.
      Long-term goal: Have three LDs per week for one month.
      Longer-term goal: Have one six-hour LD every night! (Shooting too high? We'll see.)
      Waking life goal: Round up some NPSG equipment to study my own sleep patterns.

      Well he was indeed right. After WBTB'ing I could easily keep my eyes closed. I find Wild'ing is pretty hard though. But thats another story.

      I've started the WILD technique as well and the same thing happened to me. If you rest your eyes for a day it shouldn't be bad when you try it again. I finally am seeing dream images when my body falls asleep so keep trying and don't focus too hard or you'll get headaches and all that jazz.
