The Dream Walker
Rising Star
Lately in my wonderful dreams, physical sensations have been manifesting themselves over the course of the dream. Often times it feels like small pokes or prods in various places, but sometimes it's larger, like a hand grabbing. I'm absolutely positive that it's nothing in meatspace because I'm normally isolated. Anybody else experience similar things?
I also have to bring up my other concerns regarding my dreams...
Reading other trip reports, I can't help but believe that I'm experiencing lackluster visuals. Every now and again I'll have OEVs similar to mushrooms, and when I close my eyes it's very hard to determine if something is out of the ordinary. Whenever I close my eyes normally (read sober) I don't just have a blank field of vision. Instead I have shimmering fields of blue, yellow, and primarily red dots. I like to think of them as my pixel army. Occasionally, I can control the movement of these dot fields, or rally them together. Now after liftoff, I'm still presented with this same scenario, the only difference being that instead of dots on a blackish gray matte background, the background will sometimes be a black and white geometric pattern.
In all my dreams that I've enjoyed, I can only recount a very limited amount of images that were independant of the pixel army or something that I wish I saw in the patterns of the dots. The most recent was an image of myself sitting down, in black silhouette surrounded by orange "flames." The rest of the images are usually faces or outlines of people/entities but in very low detail.
Despite this lack of "vision" I can still feel/experience the things I shoul dbe seeing, kind of how I would imagine a blind person would construct a mental image of the world around them through their other senses. In my last dream, I recall telling myself to "Open your third eye" and afterwards there would be a flash of colors, but ever so briefly. Perhaps I am literally third eye blind!
Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations for instilling a new sense of vibrancy and "vision" in my dreams? Anyone else stuck in the more barren parts of hyperspace?
