  • Today I'll be talking about reality checks. Lucid dreaming reality checks are a lucid dreaming method that involve a form of test to see if you're awake or dreaming. Performed regularly, you can eventually end up performing them while dreaming, thus realising that it is in fact a dream and becoming lucid. In this video I share some easy to use reality checks and explain the best way to do reality checks for the highest success rate and best chance of lucid dreaming.

    So I finally had my first lucid dream last night! A character in my dream was telling me how they wanted to lucid dream but they were struggling to do so. I told them to perform regular reality checks, and then proceeded to hold my nose and to my amazement I was able to breathe! Thanks tipharot for all of your tips 😀

    How often (roughly) do you think reality checks lead to you having a lucid dream?

    • @Tipharot
      @Tipharot  7 лет назад +2

      It's not possible to give even a rough estimate for that because performing reality checks in a dream happens more frequently the more firmly ingrained the habit of performing reality checks is. So one person might perform reality checks all day every day and only get one lucid every 3-4 weeks from it - while another might get lucid dreams every single night from reality checks. The main factor is how long they've been doing reality checks for, and how often they remember to perform them etc.

    I really enjoyed when you did the power point thing for your videos. Listing important things using bullet points and stuff, it's quite effective. I think you should do the same thing with what you do, and a bit of editing to have important details listed using bullet points next to your head or something.

    • @Tipharot
      @Tipharot  7 лет назад

      Those style videos unfortunately take a LOT more editing time (we're talking quadrupling the time it takes to edit a video, which is already fairly long). So I try to save those for my more in depth and highly specific tutorials. That said I may try to play around with adding in more text information on screen in these talking-head style videos, and see how it looks/if I can do that in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks for the suggestion!

      If your dreams don't feature you then reality checks might not work for you. However one thing you could try, is actually performing reality checks every time you find yourself watching a movie or video, in case that association is enough to cause you to perform one during your dreams. (You may find that you actually //are// present in your dreams, just you don't notice yourself because you're busy watching the scene almost like if you were watching your tv screen or computer screen)

      You have to have quality reality checks. Also meditation and maintaining a clear mind and a balanced set of emotions are vital. If your world view is rigid or you aren't mentally adaptable and open you will likely not be able to have one. The clearer you can live in the real world the cleaeer your dreams will become. Personally my screen saver on my phone has the words "are you dreaming?". Mix it up and stay consistent in quality as well and you will make it

    • @Tipharot
      @Tipharot  7 лет назад +3

      You do actually have control you just don't remember it because you weren't lucid. When you remember those dreams they appear like movies. While you're in them, you think you're awake and in real life. That's why reality checks will work, because you'll think you're awake, and then perform one, only to realise you get lucid.
      Just perform them often enough and take them seriously enough, and it'll happen.

    • @Tipharot
      @Tipharot  7 лет назад +3

      That's pretty normal. You're VERY close to wakefulness in a lucid dream so the excitement from realising it's a dream can and will often cause the dream to end right away. It's annoying, but you get used to it, and thankfully there are a lot of measures you can take to prevent this from happening. See my video about it: ruclips.net/video/8x6rOMuJvjY/видео.html

  • @somnium4995
    @somnium4995 7 лет назад

    Your video quality is great and your voice is very calming but I still have to criticize your video. Reality Checks/Tests are just not worth for what you are doing. Yes, you will have a couple lucid dreams with Reality Checks but it's just not worth the effort. For having multiple lucid dreams in a night or even in a week you would have to make a reality test like 300 times or they would just have to be really, really... really important for you. And still, you can have so many more lucid dreams with less effort. For example: If your reality checks are so important for you that you have them always on your mind or just do them many, many times, you can just do dream yoga where you see your life as a dream 24/7. And then you will bring that thought in the dream and you're lucid. Or something more popular and easier with less time effort: Just think critically about the environment. Where did I come from so I'm here? What have I done in the last 15 minutes? Where am I? Is everything logic here? Just like Stephen LaBerge describes these techniques in his book. And Reality Checks are just things which happen because you await them to happen. And that can be a really bad thing in lucid dreaming too. Just like the beginner Myth: I can't read books in lucid dreams. Or: I can't read the same text twice. All these things really happen to beginners just because they believe it does. But when you really think about it: Why would that not even work? Everything works in a lucid dream, why not these couple things? Right, there is no reason for it and if you are trying these things more often and neutral you will see that they don't occur anymore. In the context of the reality check, this is not a particularly "Bad thing" but it still is an action where you put yourself in a cage. You can in fact not breath through your nose in a dream. You can have the feeling to fly, too. You can also feel pain in your lucid dreams if you want to. You can do everything and not do everything but it's just a matter of thinking. Another thing to mention is that Reality Checks bring so less lucidity. 5:30 right and there is the point to not stick your finger through your hand but to think: Is this environment logical, etc.?And I think beginners should directly be pushed more in the direction of just thinking critically or something like that. Or just not get told that WILD is harder than DILD, etc.
    And I mean, maybe you know that and just want to bring reality checks to beginners because they are so "easy" but still.
