Has anyone had the experience of closing their eyes in a dream or lucid dream? What happens? Does the scene go black? Can you still see? I am researching lucid dreaming in a cognitive neuroscience lab and am interested in this topic for a study, depending on what peoples’ experiences are like. Who has tried it?
I often close my eyes while lucid dreaming in order to wake myself up. I will close my eyes and squeeze them shut for a few moments, and then when I open them again, I will often be awake in my room. I usually do this if the dream as turned into a nightmare. I have never really thought about what happens when I just casually shut my eyes in a lucid dream. However, I lucid dream every night, so I’ll give it a shot tonight.
I’ve only just found this site so I’m new here. I’m not sure if it’s too late to be useful? I’m in a very unique position where I actually have some sort of lucid daydreams? I can just sit on the couch for an hour and not even realise I’m doing it. I just sit there, staring at nothing but my brain is running a whole movie in my head where I’m the main character. Then when i fall asleep in real life, the story carries on, uninterrupted until I wake.
to answer your question: I’m in 3rd person in most of my dreams and daydreams so it kind of like blacks out (like in a movie) then fades in with the next scene if I fall asleep in a dream. Sometimes i even see what other characters are doing whilst I’m sleeping. It’s kind of like I’m creating a sequel to a movie and my head won’t stop until I get an ending to the film. i still control everything i do in the dream. it’s exhausting, especially if the dreams are close to reality because I can’t tell what’s real sometimes… I’ve never woken up when falling asleep in a dream. I wish i could, that would be so much easier than being constantly half asleep. If i die or something terrifying or traumatic happens, that’s the only way i wake up without being woken up in real life.
When I close my eyes in a lucid dream, I usually see only darkness. Then I can set a new scenario when I open again my eyes. I can also meditate in the darkness, beeing mucho more attentive than in waking state.
I just had a lucid dream where I got annoyed at having to find my way home. So I just sat down on the road with an internal awareness it could be a dream . I closed my eyes. It all went black. I could feel the breeze on my clothes. I wondered what was going to happen next. Asked myself “should I get up and fly?”but stayed seated. Then I felt myself levitate slightly and a great whooshing feeling happened at my back as I felt like a turned into a tornado of air and spiralled down a tunnel backwards to my bedroom and awoke.
