Yo.
This afternoon when I tried WILD, I got to a point when I seemed to get deeper into myself, but then my eyes started to twitch and flicker ALOT, to the point where I had to struggle to keep them closed, is this REM kicking in or what? Never experienced it before Anyway, made me lose my focus so that I failed.
When I learned hypnosis, flickering eyes was a sign that the person was in the first stages of hypnosis, so this is definitely a normal effect of altered states of consciousness. It sounds like you’re resisting it by trying to keep your eyes shut, but I would suggest relaxing and letting your eyelids do their thing, knowing they’ll stop eventually. That way you can get to the next stage without getting hung up on it. Even if they were to open a little in the course of their twitching, that’s ok!
Allright, nice info! I’ll try to relax next time then, because I was worried that opening them a bit would destroy my attempt. Thanks.
Wow this happened to me before and I had no idea what it was. Thanks Vi for the info, If this happens to me again I’ll just go with the flow like you said.
this happens because your eye is tense and needs to move. To stop it from happening roll your eyes a couple of times before you WILD closed and opened. If it still continues just relax your eyes and make them feel comfortable. It doesn’t really matter that they’re a bit open, you’ll still get in a dream
