Caroline, wow! Laughing and sneezing are both a release of energy, so maybe you let some tension go, and your vision benefited. Cool! I guess I’d look for more to laugh at.

That’s funny, I had the same experience of a moment of clear vision after sneezing one week ago. Also while laughing I had such a moment. It must have been because of the relaxation. I’m myopic, by the way.

Nadia, ha ha! If she was quite myopic, she was probably also quite good at straining. The sneeze may have momentarily released tension and let her relax. As a wise child Dr. Bates quoted in his Better Eyesight Magazine said, “No use trying (to see)!”.

I had a foster sister in my childhood who was quite myopic. She told me that every time she sneezed, her vision cleared up. By then I had experimented with the Bates Method so I told her that it had something to do with the muscle tension. I was only a child and could not explain it, so her understanding remained that it was the effort that made her see momentarily as her eye muscles must have been very weak. 🙂

I started studying dreams intensely about 20 years ago — they were so illogical, but so compelling! Now I think it’s just another channel for information to come in. The main article in this newsletter (http://www.nancylneff.com/newsletters/dec2015.htm) has more of my views on dreaming, and dreams about vision, if you’re interested.

In reply to Nancy. I used to think my dreams were too confusing and too open to interpretation to make any sense of reliably, other than pointing out my fears. Over the last few years I've started to see it differently. I had a lot of lucid dreams, and they got me thinking about how I can't create these entire virtual environments by just sitting here closing my eyes for a moment, and that it requires a change in consciousness to be capable of even doing it, inconsistently but spectacularly. I also noticed there was a recurring theme in my dreams since I was a kid about the the power that consistent certainty in my mind has to change my reality, and I had to wonder why I don't summon that persistent conviction about more things that I do.

David, thanks for telling me this! Dreams have so many layers of meaning, and there’s usually more than is obvious to me. Maybe there IS a secret vision-improving technique here. The adventure continues…

Funny you should mention this. Years ago I found that my vision cleared for a moment when the tip of my nose itched and I scratched it. It kept happening. I think it was probably a pretty simple reason, stopping for a moment and concentrating on scratching my nose for a second and letting my eyes go. It happens that quick.
