I was looking at the magic eye website, and I noticed while doing one of the pictures that going lucid and magic eye pictures work kind of the same.
For ME pics, you do the pull your face away thing and you notice something sticking out, so you concentrate on that. Then, you see the whole picture sticking out much more clearly.
For LDs, you go into REM sleep and you notice something that can’t happen. You concentrate on it, checking it once or twice, and then the whole dream kind of pops out at you. Everything becomes clear.
I dunno, I just thought it was cool. Here’s one of the pics:
Nope, just tried for ages again and still couldn’t do it. My imagination was making plenty of fake pictures out of the jumble, though. So far I’ve seen “1877”, footprints, an amphitheatre and random swirly things… but that was just me doing it, not the picture. It doesn’t seem to make a difference how I focus my eyes, argh!
stormy: try this: draw 2 dots on a paper, about 5 cm apart. Now try to unfocus your eyes. The dots will move to each other, and a new dot will appear in the middle when they meet. That’s when you see the magic eye picture. So if you can do it with the dots, you know how to unfocus, and you just keep doing that until the picture connects.
Tried that - I couldn’t do that either. I could get the three dots easily, but I couldn’t make them stay for longer than half a second. Things kept sliding back into proper focus no matter what I tried. I guess that’s my problem, then…
I’ve always seen these things from time to time… but I don’t think I ever saw the hidden images in them. I never knew what I was supposed to do then… I think… nor did I knew what was supposed to happen.
I just checked out how they were supposed to to be solved though and now that I get it, I think I can do it now…
Anyway, I can make it already look 3d… but I can’t make out what the picture looks like… Is that normal?
I cant do these either, my friend showed me 1 a while ago and i stared at it for ages but i couldnt see anything there.
Its annoying because all my friends can do them and i cant lol.
