    I always stabalize the dream as soon as I'm lucid for at least a minute or more by focusing on my senses like what I can hear, smell, taste, feel and see. I look at things in close up detail and appreciate the realism of the environment or feel myself slowly walking or feel the solidity of things untill the dream feels solid. I make videos on this channel to do with lucid dreaming and certain techniques to use in order for lucidity. :)

    Lucid dreaming began for me at a young age from nightmare recognition. I would yank my eyelids open with my fingers and it would work every time. Eventually, I learned how profound it is to be aware within the dream space. I wrote a list of goals for the dreamspace once I got ahold of myself in performing the task.
    Got over the initial sexual drive and onto flight. Many levitations and floatings, but the most notable was a double lucid dream where you fall Right back into the same setting. In both moments of lucidity I did a calf raise and shot straight up watching the world contract into a little marble below me.
    My most profound moment under the category of synesthesia was when I was sleeping on a couch in my University library. I suddenly found myself waking up behind the couch on which I was sleeping. THIS IS A DREAM i understood as I looked at the empty couch on which I knew I was currently sleeping. I heard a conversation. It was between two girls and I could make out the words. Was this just my dream? I wondered if I was making the voices or if I was hearing them. I purposely woke myself by yanking my eyes open in the dream and found the same conversation happening in the library that I was actually sleeping in. I had heard the current real time noise as I was lucid within the dreamspace.
    Personally, my most profound moment was upon lucidity, I agreed that if I turned to the right I would find a mirror. I turned right and was able to consciously look at a reflection of myself within the dreamspace. I saw my face with no borders. My face faded into the surrounding area. I looked lower to find the horrifying body of a cadaver. I attempted to wake in fear and found my first delay and what I guess is sleep paralysis. Though once I woke it was an entirely positive experience. The body is temporary

    watching this because the last two nights in the row i had my first and second lucid dreams, first one i got way too excited, woke up, fell asleep again immediately, but had a second where the log cabin setting i was in turned completely black and i felt like I was floating, the second dream I had was semi-lucid, i couldn't control what happened, but i knew that i was lucid dreaming

  • @Flint113

    I just had a lucid dream last night and It would fade away but if I closed one eye I could see the dream perfectly and it was super weird. All my friends also think I’m lying about how I can lucid dream but I think they are just jealous. For anyone who has never been able to do it bebfore the method that works for me every time almost is setting an alarm for like 4 hours before you usually wake up so like 4 o-clock and then doing something for like 20 minutes like reading a book and then go back to sleep thinking about a dream and you will be slightly awake enough and be able to realize that you are dreaming and you have complete control over it

  • @ctakitimu

    OMG! I've often had lucid dreams which I believe started with a recurring nightmare of falling and dreading the impact. Eventually I realised I was dreaming but it didn't change the fear I was having with falling and dreading the impact again. Until one day I realised I could close my eyes (inside the dream) before hitting the ground, and a short moment later my feet would touch down and I could open my dream eyes again. Now I often start in a lucid dream but then just relax and see where the dream story takes me and usually once I've done that, I can no longer be lucid in that dream. The most frustrating thing I get in a lucid dream is sex, about 10 seconds in I feel myself waking up really fast. And I can feel it happening and in the dream I'm like 'noooo'. Be good to be able to enjoy that part too, but it's like you say, as soon as the excitement hits, it's dream over time. And even if I go back to sleep, I generally can't get back to that dream. Different for nightmares, if I force myself awake from the nightmare I have to get up and do something then go back to sleep as I often reinject back into the nightmare otherwise. I'll try spinning next time and see what that does
    *edit* I can fly in lucid dreams, but it takes a lot of concentration to do it. Last time I almost hit power lines, I had forgotten to look out for them. And I can wake myself up from nightmares with massive effort, like the dream is trying to keep me in it, by charging/straining (like a dragonball Z character going super sayan) then boom, I'm awake. Helps to have my eyes closed while doing this, but I can still 'hear' what's going on around me so there's a big sense of urgency to 'get out' before the smothering evil finds me

    Thank you. I've been a natural lucid dreamer for much of my life, but the older I get the less frequent it becomes. And it's always been that when I TRY to lucid dream, it more often than not fails. I know there are a million techniques, but do you have any advice for someone like me, for inducing more lucid dreams when effort seems to yield the opposite? Thanks.

    • @EmilyButler
      @EmilyButler  5 лет назад +5

      Interesting! I'm sorry to hear of your dilemma. Do you have any trouble sleeping, or do you get a sufficient amount of sleep? Frequency of lucid dreams across the board decreases as we age (a trend which I have also made a video about) and my hypothesis is that it has a lot to do with quality of sleep also decreasing as we age. But it sounds like you have a mental block against lucidity where it has become harder than it should. Have you tried focusing on visualizing yourself becoming lucid? My recommendation is for your efforts to take the form of calm visualization before sleeping. Tell yourself: "I will have a lucid dream tonight" and try to really expect it to happen.

    • @MellowWind
      @MellowWind 5 лет назад +1

      @@EmilyButler Thanks Emily. Well, yes, honestly sleep quality has really gone down the drain. I find as I get older things like fiscal, political, ecological concerns distract me. I'm very less carefree than when young. But I also know that I'm still flexible and that the distractions are just a habit. I will indeed make more effort before sleep, with the intention for lucid dreaming. I've been doing the same with reality check, thinking, well, if I were lucid now, what would I do? Maybe over time things will loosen up again. Thank you.

      Do you have that thing when you put your alarm at a certain time, then wake up before the alarm and wait for the alarm to start,We all been programmed to wake up routinely Wake Up at the same time every morning And to some Of us it Became Natural Without the Need of an Alarm, We can do that that for the Same reason We can predict when Is the Best Time to Catch the Ball in The Air, or you can predict when the bassdrop of a Song will Hit , We quantified time And its Duration became ingrained to our minds, as you spent All your life feeling the Duration between Seconds and Minutes And Hours.
      Im Saying this because you are Able to Subconsciously Become conscious while dreaming, That is Fascinating because As you Share Your Reality With your Subconscious Mind, It Seems to Be doing Doing The Same for You. : )

      If you feel it gets tougher as you are older, it is partly because of your sleep cycle, but also adults tend to go through life on auto-pilot mode, which is bad for lucid dreaming.

    I have a LOT of Semi-Lucid dream - I'd say - I'll realize I'm dreaming (often because have a strange in world continuity) and then just let the dream play and go with the flow of it because I came to the realization a LOOOONG time ago - like in childhood - if I attempt to control anything or pause to check things out I'll wake up or get trapped in sleep paralysis (usually scary cause I feel like I can't breath and that kinda sucks)

      Thank you very much for buying the book! I really hope you like it :)
      I honestly can't remember! This is bad.... if I read it somewhere I should have cited that. The problem is that I read a TON about lucid dreaming, from lots of different sources, for over a decade before I started writing the book. So when it came time to write the book and track down citations it was quite a task. Much of what I read over the years was on forums, or just in conversation with other lucid dreamers, so I would not have been able to track those down anyway.
      It's possible I read this in Stephen LaBerge's Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming, which is my favorite book on the topic. Otherwise I just figured that rapid eye movements are probably a necessary component of REM sleep / dreaming. Since your eyes typically move around during dreams, it makes some intuitive sense to me that by stopping your eyes from moving, the dream might fade and you might wake up.

      I have another question for you.
      It revolves around
      Consciousness
      We sleep
      Sometimes we dream, other times we recall nothing upon awakening, either before or right after birth; we soon awaken and develop an awareness of the environment around us.
      We evolve and discover certain truths as we break away from indoctrinations and programs imposed upon us from the very start of our lives.
      Aren't you at all curious about various levels of consciousnesses?
      Are dreams a gateway to that clue of the origin of who we are or have been as humans with a very unclear past?
