Thread: i seemed to have found an effect to lucid 50/50

No, I can’t say that I have heard of "tensing your eyes untill sleep" what exactly is the purpose of it? How does it work?

And for future reference: hase is spelled has, any body is one word, and thay is spelled they.

Dude, don't flame the guy so much, I don't understand how it works, but thats not to say it doesn't.

I haven't done that in particular, but I have felt affects of putting pressure on your eyes for amounts of time. I've never used it to try to fall asleep, but my eyes are already messed up as it is, so I'm not sure what this would do to them 8)

I notice if I try to fall asleep too hard that my eyes begin to feel like they are under a lot of pressure. It's never made me go lucid... just kept me awake. Please explain your technique a little more thoroughly.

BTW Welcome to DreamViews Draklucid!

I think I know what you're talking about. I did this once to get back into a dream I was having after waking up. I wouldn't have thought of it as tensing the eyes, but focusing on the image intensely I did feel some strain. The result was successful, but after many unsuccessful attempts using this tech. from full wakefullness to dreaming, I gave it up. I get to sleep quicker by ditching the eyestrain and loosely holding an image in my head. Doesn't result in lucidity, just sleep.
