Wait, so you keep your eyes open in the beginning?
So that's why HI always fades away! That's the best peice of information I've read all day. Thanks Sasuke, remind me to kill Naruto next time he has a go at you or does that shadow clone thing he's obsessed with.Quote:

i'll try this tonight
Wow, I used to do this often, laying in bed with my eyes open, until everything disappeared. I've never come across anyone else who experienced it, but I see from the post and the responses that I'm not alone. I've never used it to WILD though, but I do recall I would tend to have some vivid Dreams when I did it. I'm glad I came across this, I'll be trying it.
I don't like propaganda techniques that exaggerates the title of a given technique(Like that "My technique keeps working" I've seen around here), although blacking out is original, you can't really say "improved" unless it is improved.Quote:

It's really not that easy. After about five minutes your eyes will be watering and you will be straining to keep them still.
and?.. My technique Only has worked for me personally a couple of times.. But the first time it worked i posted it and it and it seemed to be working great for them.. I posted this for all your sake's and benofit. okay? That "just pray" technique worked amazing well for me, IM a natural DILD'er.. i was just experimenting with WILD's at the time i found out about this.. And later on in the year i decided to re-write this techinique for some other people to test it out.. problem?
Wow, you don't have to be so literal. Just cause he has it in there doesn't mean you have to disect the whole thread.Quote:

Like I mentioned before, I used to do this a while back, but last night I actually started seeing imagery while my eyes were blacked out (but still open). I've never had that happen before. At some points it was really quite vivid too, and if I had been able to maintain it longer I may well have been able to WILD from that point. Unfortunately, not too long after closing my eyes I started to lose concentration, but I was particularly tired, maybe a bit too tired.
I'll keep trying though. I didn't get lucid, but the Dreams I had were interesting enough... :)
I really dont understand how you can not blink for 5 mins....do you keep your eyes barely open?? Or how long does it take for your eyes to black out?
I think it varies from person to person. If I lay down on my front, get comfortable and relax, then relax my gaze, it usually takes under a minute for my sight to black out. I find there are things that make it more difficult for me, like if I try doing it while laying on my back, or if I'm looking in an upwards direction (because my eyes end up open more widely). If there is a draft, this also makes it more difficult. All these things tend to cause my eyes to dry out more quickly and get too uncomfortable to proceed.Quote:

I assure you, it can be done :)
As soon as I start to do this technique, my eyes start watering heavily. Anything I can do about it?
I'm really interested in this technique becuase I usually see a lot of HI. However, last night, when I attempted it I had a few problems. The biggest issue I faced was finding something to let my eyes foccus on. My room was pretty close to pitch black, so it seemed like I didn't have anything to look at that wasn't already black. I tried just staring in just one direction, but I couldn't tell if my eyes were moving becuase I didn't have something specific to look at. I know this thread is a little old, but if anyone has some suggestions or guidance to offer, that would be great! :)
I think I'll try this.
I like keeping my eyes open.
I usually don't fall asleep easily anyway.
Sasuke, how do you "spin" images?
This seems good, i might try it.
I use to do this when i was younger but in a place with good ilumination. Found it fun because after a while i would start seeing stars and cloud-like things moving on my visual field and the vision would go totally white from the periphery to the middle without me being able to see anything anymore at a point.
Never tried it on the dark and with the purpose on mind of WILDing. I got to try it as i've tried other techniques and i never got to the HI part (i think i went to the SP part though).
I'll try this tonight, ill report my progress tommarrow
Edit:
Got a little drunk last night, didn't do it =\
Nice bump. Never heard of blacking out before. Giving this technique a try tonight. :D
Ha ha, yeah, this thread is a little bit old. I still want some help though.
How am I to focus my eyes? I don't get it.
Should I let them go out of focus like one of those magic eye 3d pictures?
I'm going to sound like the biggest retard..
But what is HI? ^_^
I'm not able to resist the blinking.
I can't resist blinking..
its so hard, if my eyes move the tiniest bit it goes away.
I'm lying there like :shock: for a while but in the end I go for a DILD aaaaand.
Yep.. fail.
