Wake up 6 hours into your sleep and repeat the phrase "I'm dreaming now, this is a dream" over and over until fall asleep. Along with other preparations, this works very well.
I used to do the clock check in almost every dream, because somehow there was always a wall clock at the room I was in, even if it was outside. But in a particular dream the clock check stopped working, the clock was there as usual but it was following the real world rules, and from that day on it became rare for me to experience a lucid dream again, I'm gonna start trying these different methods.
i think one times I may have noticed I was dreaming, but I didn't think much of it. I was just like, "weird, i'm dreaming." and then I think i woke up, but i wasn't excited
I've noticed that in a lot of my dreams, i'm in public bathrooms and locker rooms. Usually people are doing things that they don't normally do in them, like taking a bath, putting on makeup, or holding poker tournaments.
Hey,can this be turned into a reality check?So when you're dreaming,close your eyes and think of someone for at least 3 seconds,can be anyone(your grandfather,your long lost friend,etc.),and open your eyes.He will spawn out of nowhere or will replace a dream character in front of you.I don't know if it works for all of you,but for me,it always does.
We do them as they become a natural part of your waking life! Its like if your eating in a dream, you will most likely be using your mouth and not your nose as in real life we eat with our mouths as it makes sense to. So when we see the dream sign it makes sense for us to do a reality check!
Ahhhhh i still remember the first time i had a lucid dream it was one of the happiest moments ever i started screaming and shouting " I DID IT YES I AM LUCID DREAMING " it was fuckin awesome moment however the more you do it the more it will become normal for you but it will always stay interesting
Actually my first lucid dream lasted for a good time and the funny thing is i knew just the day before that dream that dreams only last for 17 seconds and during the Lucid dream i was telling myself " Bullshit this dream is been going for more than 2 minutes and still going " so even it was the first one it definitely was vivid more than any other LD i had after
a good reality check i like to do is rub your nose and try to push through your face, dont like smash your hand into your face, just a small push into the side of your nose, in reality you will just rub your nose, but in a dream your hand will go through your nose and/or face. best part about this is when your not dreaming people wont be like "Why are they jumping checking out their hands and trying to suffocate themselves?".
i had the most annoying dream once where i spent the whole dream asking myself if i was dreaming and doing every single reality check (finger through hand, check hands, look at mirror, walk through walls, holding my nose, changing things about my dream characters.. ect.) but still didn't become lucid! :L
When ever i dream i always have a weird feeling that something isn't right, sometimes im talking to someone like last night i was gliding and told the 12 year old version of my brother how i was flying, I said,"Well i have a wing suit on" he said that he couldn't see it then i said,"you can't see it because this is a dream" thats when i realized i was dreaming. the night before i was watching alot of videos like this one, there a website called LD4all.com or something like that, it said that before you goto sleep to repeat,"I am going to sleep. i will lucid dream. i will be aware. i am aware that this is a dream" i herd that sentence in my head in the dream, but i wasn't saying it, it was like someone else was. I felt my dream eyes start to open then i got scared and woke myself up.
Once I did a reality check and I had TOES for fingers XD gave me a giggle and then I walked into my living room which was turned into a luxurious lounge. Awesome. Dream :(
I was in a dream and I saw a dreamsign. I did a reality check and looked at my hands. I had a problem counting my fingers but one thing I aspecially noticed was that my pinky finger was totally cut of and blood were coming out of it in floods.. I got super scared but calmed my self down knowing it was a dream.
one time, in my dream my family was driving down the street in our car. My mom wanted to go to a store that i hate going to, so i jumped out of the car lol. BOOM. IM LUCID.
I remember no joke that I was eating cereal (I forgot which kind) but then someone came to me and started eating cereal with me and it felt weird and he was in my house and then I said, what are you doing here and then I became lucid
Maybe the questioning can be a type of reality check? For example if you just walked through the door that was purple, wouldn't it just be better to have a second nature of questioning where you were a little while ago and how you got there, rather than pinching your nose then questioning.
First time trying lucid dreaming get a layer 0 had a dream about me telling a friend about trying lucid dreaming. Then get teleported into a dark room where i pull a hood up and wake up quite shocked. I was only asleep for 20 minutes
Reality checks have never helped me. I did them for like 3 days and stopped because it was pointless to me. MILD combined with WBTB worked incredibly well for me.
Although i have barely ever had a layer 2+ lucid dream, i do think in my dreams, Omg i'm dreaming and i can sort of control stuff but not really, sometimes in my dreams i get bored and im just like, erm hello? can i wake up please, this is boring. But in ALL of my dreams i can move objects with my mind like the force, its pretty cool!
I had a lucid dream that made me do some reality checks to realize that im dreaming.So I was playing the piano and when I looked at the keys,there were 2 rows of them.It was so weird so I held my nose and I could breathe through it.I was not convinced so I looked at my hands.The fingers on one hand was fatter than the other.I tried to strech my fingers but it cant strech a lot.Still not convinced,I looked at the clock,looked away and looked again and the time changed.Then,boom!I'm dreaming.Weird
I can't put my finger through my hand in a dream, but I tried it once (when I already was lucid) and instead of the finger going through, the hand was like "boneless" and the back of my hand budged out in she shape of my finger! I've tried twice with the same result both times. And since it feels like real life, it was REALLY weird to feel my hand do that and my finger going "in"
Last night I had a dream and I tried the finger through hand but it didn't work, it did give me a bruise though so I tried the nose plugging one and I could still breathe so I knew I was dreaming.
i just had a lucid dream recently where i looked at my hands and one of my hands had the right amount of fingers, but my right hands middle finger had another finger growing out of the left side of it. it was so weird. and my left hand had 3 normal fingers, and 2 of my fingers, my pinky and the 4th to last finger, were just nubs. i was like. holy shittttttttttt.
i smoke every day since 2 years i've never been dreaming that im smoking how can those reality cheks with hands and nose and the others can make them when im dreaming?
The other night i had the most realistic dream I've ever experienced in my life and in the dream i was chasing a train with my cousin and i began to realize how strange it was that i was doing this.i stopped to do the reality check where u push your hand through your palm but nothing happened, and then my cousin started yelling at me to hurry up or we'd miss the train so i didn't have a chance to perform another reality check..when i woke up i was pretty frustrated.. any ideas why it didnt work?
hy Ed, i had a weird dream last night (i almost every night have a weird dream, and lots of severe nightmares) where i thought to myself : something is realy wrong, i must be dreaming! i instantly did a reality check : i did this 'putmy finger in my hand', but this didn't work realy. i actually achieve a weird hand that bended away from my finger, and when it did, it was like very hot, and got blue color. but i was not thinking about the weird color as i was concentrated to put my finger in it.. how comes that my reality check didn't work? am i doing something wrong? I also did a time watch check and the same time when i looking away was still there. after that i was back in dreamstate in wich i was not aware that i was dreaming. Can you explain to me what i did wrong?
Hey I just recently had my first lucid dream (it was short but I got past layer one lucidity thank god, I figured out from me being in a gym... And I don't like gyms...) so immediately I tried to do a reality check but it didn't work do you know why?
So I guess a good thing to do throughout the whole day is perform just 10 to 20 RC's and do them right, but is it true that you just copy those in real life RC's to your dreams and perform them in your dream world and become lucid? I'm confused!
Hey gizedwards i want to ask you something.Every time i have a very vivid/scary/interesting/exciting/cool/flying e.t.c dream i can't talk i just can't.I cant talk in most my dreams i talk 20% in my dreams and 80% in my all dreams i just cant speak ..what should i do ??? and i cant remebmer anything from reality .
That is actually what he is talking bout. See how his girlfriend could breath through her nose? Well since that did not click that she was dreaming she did not control her dreams. Until he explained this it makes since why I feel a tugging tension when I go to punch something in a dream... Hope I helped :)
Can I instead of doing reality check, to make myself an object just like in the well known movie, so i can be very cool :D I'm kidding, but would this actually work?
this is a little stupid but the other night i was dreaming and i went to do a reality check and the reality check was seeing if i could pull a gun out from behind my back NOT a good idea if you want to continue a lucid deam !
My personal best reality check is paying attention to my movements, in real life I control my muscles directly to move, in a dream however, my movement is based on my will to move. I move by the thought of movement, if I move this way I enter layer 3-4 lucidity, If I actually pay attention to my real muscles I feel the sleep paralysis and the dream becomes layer 1 and I wake up.
QUESTION: How come if you pinch your noise in your dream, you can still breathe in the dream (because you are not pinching your noise in 'real' life') but when you are drowning, in your dream, it does feel like your drowning.... so you can't breathe, eventhough, you 're not drowning in real life?
a falling feeling is how I get into the lucid state
Wake up 6 hours into your sleep and repeat the phrase "I'm dreaming now, this is a dream" over and over until fall asleep. Along with other preparations, this works very well.
I love these videos, keep up the great work! btw, I have been trying to come up with good reality checks for myself, this video helped out alot!
"oh i'm dreaming because you don't exist in my life" that put me down for some reason lol
It might just be semantics but I don’t think a “level zero” lucid dream is actually a lucid dream
"I have a door" loled soooo hard xD
I used to do the clock check in almost every dream, because somehow there was always a wall clock at the room I was in, even if it was outside.

OMG! I have a door too! 3 and a half doors actually

Since im a tricker= somebody who jumps alot that reality checks is damn perfect for me!

still trying to get to that first step :)
you still sleep after that :v
Really? My first intention was kissing the guy i was with... and i still didnt get to... :\

my personal favorite reality check (tho not too practical): if you can breath under water, ur dreaming. if you cant ur drowning.
My prefered reality check is simply to look at my hands. In a dream my hands change shape constantly so I can easily tell If I'm awake or not.
a good reality check i like to do is rub your nose and try to push through your face, dont like smash your hand into your face, just a small push into the side of your nose, in reality you will just rub your nose, but in a dream your hand will go through your nose and/or face. best part about this is when your not dreaming people wont be like "Why are they jumping checking out their hands and trying to suffocate themselves?".

I swear by the finger thru palm RC - took awhile for it to work but it does now. Finger through palm RWR
it could be a house, a person, friends, an animal, they wont be in every dream nut they'll be in most.
When ever I have lucid dreams I am outside
When ever i dream i always have a weird feeling that something isn't right, sometimes im talking to someone like last night i was gliding and told the 12 year old version of my brother how i was flying,
I said,"Well i have a wing suit on"
he said that he couldn't see it
then i said,"you can't see it because this is a dream"
thats when i realized i was dreaming.
the night before i was watching alot of videos like this one, there a website called LD4all.com or something like that, it said that before you goto sleep to repeat,"I am going to sleep. i will lucid dream. i will be aware. i am aware that this is a dream"
i herd that sentence in my head in the dream, but i wasn't saying it, it was like someone else was. I felt my dream eyes start to open then i got scared and woke myself up.
Abe's oddysee!!!man that was my favourite game when i was a kid...another cool fact about you ed :D
Once I did a reality check and I had TOES for fingers XD gave me a giggle and then I walked into my living room which was turned into a luxurious lounge. Awesome. Dream :(
i had a dream last night getting nude pics of my crush.. I dont really know what "dream sign" that is? haha..
lol
lmfaooo
I was in a dream and I saw a dreamsign. I did a reality check and looked at my hands. I had a problem counting my fingers but one thing I aspecially noticed was that my pinky finger was totally cut of and blood were coming out of it in floods..

Do a reality check every time someone mentions dreams or sleep
*reality check*
*reality check*
*reality check*
Reality checks have never helped me. I did them for like 3 days and stopped because it was pointless to me. MILD combined with WBTB worked incredibly well for me.
Have anyone had dream signs but just can't control your body to do a reality check?
Although i have barely ever had a layer 2+ lucid dream, i do think in my dreams, Omg i'm dreaming and i can sort of control stuff but not really, sometimes in my dreams i get bored and im just like, erm hello? can i wake up please, this is boring. But in ALL of my dreams i can move objects with my mind like the force, its pretty cool!
Just realized the other day I had a dream about a clock and I kept on looking at it and it changed but i was a zombie
I had a lucid dream that made me do some reality checks to realize that im dreaming.So I was playing the piano and when I looked at the keys,there were 2 rows of them.It was so weird so I held my nose and I could breathe through it.I was not convinced so I looked at my hands.The fingers on one hand was fatter than the other.I tried to strech my fingers but it cant strech a lot.Still not convinced,I looked at the clock,looked away and looked again and the time changed.Then,boom!I'm dreaming.Weird

Nevermind,I just watched the "totem experiment" video after writing that comment.
You said how I met your mother reference. SUBSCRIBE
i just had a lucid dream recently where i looked at my hands and one of my hands had the right amount of fingers, but my right hands middle finger had another finger growing out of the left side of it. it was so weird. and my left hand had 3 normal fingers, and 2 of my fingers, my pinky and the 4th to last finger, were just nubs. i was like. holy shittttttttttt.
If you breathe in hard enough with your nose closed then air can come through your tear drain holes.
that's great to know
thanx :)
i actually thought ur finger went through ur hand for a sec!!
0:59 lol wut
Most people are scared of dream signs because they think lucid dreaming = Yume Nikki all the things, apparently.
You're in layer two of lucitdity.
when you start lucid dreaming can you ever go back to sleeep without lucid dreaming or after you learned it you can never sleep reguler again?
In all of my lucid dreams I can't control them. Any help
i smoke every day since 2 years i've never been dreaming that im smoking how can those reality cheks with hands and nose and the others can make them when im dreaming?
look at "Lucid reaming part 2"
The other night i had the most realistic dream I've ever experienced in my life and in the dream i was chasing a train with my cousin and i began to realize how strange it was that i was doing this.i stopped to do the reality check where u push your hand through your palm but nothing happened, and then my cousin started yelling at me to hurry up or we'd miss the train so i didn't have a chance to perform another reality check..when i woke up i was pretty frustrated.. any ideas why it didnt work?

So after this reality checks, what do I do? And in your dreams will you be in another place or where you slept(basically your house)
So I guess a good thing to do throughout the whole day is perform just 10 to 20 RC's and do them right, but is it true that you just copy those in real life RC's to your dreams and perform them in your dream world and become lucid? I'm confused!
If you have a wound on your body will the wound be still there? Because if it isn't that would be a great reality check
that's fucking awsome
Try to close your eyes and see nothing
can you please tell me what is MILD and WBTB ??!!
Can you cite your sources in your videos pls? I love them I'm just an overall skeptic haha :)
I have a really good way to see if your dreaming or not. Try count to six when your dreaming X_X I can never do it!
thats how you escape the leyer zero i gues :D:D:D
I have regular Lucid dreams, is that bad?
Hey gizedwards i want to ask you something.Every time i have a very vivid/scary/interesting/exciting/cool/flying e.t.c dream i can't talk i just can't.I cant talk in most my dreams i talk 20% in my dreams and 80% in my all dreams i just cant speak ..what should i do ??? and i cant remebmer anything from reality .
