Thread: Who here can actually SEE what they visualize

Ok to be a little philosophic here... How do you know that you can even see at all? It's not your eyes that see, ears that hear etc. They are just receivers of the information, it's your mind that see, hear, feel and taste.

But when I visualize I do it with my mind and I don't mean a third eye kind of way, I just mean that I don't see it with my physical eyes by looking at my eyelids or whatever.
You can practice visualization with eyes open to really confirm that you don't see it with your physical eyes. Look at an empty surface, like your desk for example and then imagine as vividly as you can a pen laying there or a mug you choose. And don't expect it to suddenly pop and see it in full detail, but more of a feeling that all your awareness is on the visualization and makes it vivid for just a millisecond. If nothing happens and yo don't understand what I mean, don't worry you use your minds eye all the time, try this instead. Keep your eyes open and think about a memory, and try to experience it as vividly as you can, you can't do this wrong so just make a try. Learn how it feels to do this kind of exercise for you!

Now CLOSE YOUR EYES! and do the same exercises over again but try to not look at your eyelids, close your eyes as you would do if you tried to fall asleep and relax. Another good way to practice visualization is to visualize things that you normally do n waking life, like opening a door, holding a pen and write, clap your hands, anything you can think of and always visualize as vividly as you can and don't stain yourself, because you already know how to visualize vividly you do it every time you think during the day as well.

I hope this helped. And read some of my dream journal entries where I mention dream flashes to see if you experience something similar.

Good luck!
