First, press your eyes into your head. You will see many vivid colours just like you would when you would be about to go asleep.
Practice of this technique (for weeks or monthes) allows you to summon pictures! I’ve made tonnes of short movies in my head from this technique!
Give me feedback on your experiences whilst doing this.
Quests to do:
Summon sand to fill your mind (extremely easy)
Summon eyes (quite easy, but also scary at some points)
Summon a battle (medium - takes a while to learn)
lol I do this on the bus. That’s why I can stay in the same place for hours. It’s like watching a little movie. If you let your mind wonder, you can see some pretty cool things.
@Rodrigo - If you hold too long it hurts when you let go, or that’s how it works for me. So you are saying that I get HI from doing that?
I usually only get Hypnapompic Audio/Vibrations when practising WILD, so maybe this is my Holy Grail
Do you have to actually hold your eyes to summon pictures when you get experienced, or can you just do it by closing your eyes?
I’ve made short movies in my head before without pressing my eyes, although they’re not very vivid. I’m good at summoning sound, especially music; I do it all the time.
I think you can get some simple HI from this as it makes your optical nerves send garbage which the brain tries to make sense of, which will probably result in random colours or even simple images to form.
But this is not something i would do, as i have heard that it can permanently damage your eyes.
Someone needs to design glasses that apply slight, but comfortable pressure to your eyes while they are closed so this would be easier. My arms and hands get tired.
Pressing on one’s eyes, especially often or for extended periods of time, can indeed cause permanent eye damage by increasing pressure on the optic nerves to severe levels, irrepairably harming them with time in the same manner as glaucoma. Total vision loss can eventually result.
Protect your eyes, folks! I know the things you see when you press on them can be interesting, but they aren’t worth permanently damaging your sight. Plus, Tomas and Fadem are right–you’re not actually entering a dreamlike state, just causing yourself to see phosphenes, the random constructions of your visual cortex in response to pressure. Getting true LDs requires one to actually be asleep.
