Eye strain while "focusing" my 3rd eye

[Zenit]

Hey all

Excuse the shortness of this first post. I been going through a bunch of experiances that lead up to this question, and i will expand on them in the near future, but right now i would like to ask the following.

Something that started fairly random (the experiances of being able to see dreams and objects vividly with my eyes closed) has been moving more and more under my control. My first experiance of this cam through sleep paralesys, and after i experianced it i have been trying to recreate these vivid images in my mind.

Reaserch lead me to the concept of the 3rd eye. Erins blog called it "dual consciousness which is being able to see with your physical eyes closed". I cant think of a better way then to describe it.

Here is another qoute that describes my experiance very well; "...you will feel as if you can see your thoughts. Just like a screen you will see your thought appearing before you".

For me, its almost like im materializing my thoughts into a.... halucination?

My question: When i try to enduce this, it feels like i am taking a thought from the "back of my mind" where its fairly abstract, and pusing it through my eyes into my field of vision. The thing is; this pushing puts a lot of strain on my eyes. It almost feels liek im crossing my eyes while they are closed.

The website above describes this as a positive indication that you have activated your 3rd eye. My natural instinct sais "this can not be good for your eyes".

Does anyone have any input on any of this. Would much appreciate it because i have a destinct urge to explore this as much as i can.

Cheers

I can also add that my heart rate speeds up like crazy when i do this. After reading some about astral projection i tried to induce the feeling of separating from my body. It felt like i was trying to rip myself apart, heart rate up, eyes fluttering. These things are probably very individual so who knows what im experiencing.
