Thread: If you eye vision in reality isn't so good, will it be the same in the dream world?

I've also thought about that. never really payed attention to it much, but now that I think about it. My vision is more like 20/20 for me in my dreams.

I have checked and my glasses are always there in my lucids. If I take them off, the dream gets fuzzy.

This has worked in my advantage though. If the dream starts to get dark and fade away, or goes fuzzy on it's own, I have taken off my glasses to find the dream jump back into sharp clarity!! It is kind of funny considering all the scrambling I have done in the past to hold onto a dream when taking off my glasses is so easy.

Dreams are all about expectation. If you expect something to happen, it will happen. For sure. If you doubt you can snap your fingers and hold a fireball, you won't. If you, even for a split second, believe you can, then one will form, even if briefly.
If you expect your vision to be crap without glasses, then it will. Stuff like that is difficult to shake. It like if you get shot in a dream, you expect pain, and more often than not we feel dream pain, which is just a bad feeling or tension in the area we were hurt in.

If you can make yourself believe you can do this and are able to do this, then you will be able to do it. If you believe you can take off your glasses and still have super vision, you will.

Yeah, I don't think that it would be bad by default, especially if you wear glasses or contacts. Probably because you're used to it.

My vision is HORRIBLE. And by horrible I mean I can't read the big "E" at the top of the eye charts. I can't even tell there's a letter there. But....in my dreams, I have perfect vision. Now that could be because I used to wear glasses, and it's a moot point now because I wear contacts. But even when my prescription was too weak, my vision was perfect in my dreams. It was one easy way to tell if I was dreaming--if I could see everything clearly and not have my glasses on.

I guess if your vision is really terrible and you spend most of the day seeing everything as blurry it may effect your dreams. But as long as you have actually experienced good vision or even looked at pictures of stuff that was clear (for example pictures of landscapes if you're really near-sighted), you have the capacity to dream with great vision. I know people who are blind now, but had sight before, and they can still see well in dreams.

I've often thought about this as well. I've never noticed myself wearing glasses in dreams. Maybe it could be a dream sign. Who knows.

I used to use it as a dreamsign. It works even better if you have a lot of FAs, because if you get up without your glasses and have great vision....you automatically know it's a dream.

I have the worst vision compared to any other person I know, but my dreams are always crystal clear, but I usually have my glasses on in my dreams. When I don't, still, it's never blurry

My vision is bad in real life, but fine in dreams. I wear glasses, but I am never wearing them in dreams

I don't wear glasses, but I do have blurred vision in my right eye. However, like most people that replied to this thread, I have perfect vision in my dreams.

Are there peripherals in dreams?
