Keep that beard growing man! Also on the serial killer journal thing; I just finished up one of my dream journals and as I filed it away with the others, my girlfriend caught a glimpse and was so confused as to why I keep them. What? I'm going to burn the last 8 years of dreams I've had? xD
@Jews Fear The Samurai how in life has this chasing dream manifested itself over the last year ? Did you marry, switch careers, confront a life long challenge ? Resolution ? Ok obviously TV/game imagery influence maybe returning to adolescent scenario needing resolution, did you find it ? Or did you realize the symbolism regarding this, and apply it to your adult life ?
I tried to use the finger trick to get to sleep at first and for a brief moment it was like I was looking into a pitch black room rather than looking at the back of my eye lids.
Once I realised that I was dreaming my head started to hurt really bad and I got scared and woke up. I could stay with that feeling for longer, but I DECIDED to open my eyes...
I keep waking up early in the morning and think about my dreams but I just get too tired to write them down so I fall asleep and then I can’t remember them when I wake up and it’s so frustrating!!!
Stephanie Payne but at that time of waking up from sleep i struggle a bit and fall back to sleep after checking my phone. . . . That's when i overslept 1 hour and i see cluster of dream ,as if I'm half awake . . Perhaps its ideal time for lucid dreaming,when u r tired enough to get up. . Recently i had almost a lucid dream experience, i was spending time with my old high school friends i vividly remember. . . I was about to play owl city fireflies in piano before them. . And i was unable to play bcs it turned into gaming keyboard I seriously enquired myself, wtf. . What is this? Its not real. . I remember the figure induced reality check by then. .but I don't remember clear enough, but I'm sure i got more pretty awake ..
I've got a problem though: my dream sign occurs very rarely in real life so should I still stick to practicing with reality checks? I am just afraid this isn't the right thing for me due to my particular sign...
my common dream sign is my dog who mysteriously disappeared one day. sometimes i have dreams where hes in it although it never makes me lucid despite me knowing this. but there was one time i did question it in the dream, but some fucking how i didnt go lucid.
my other, far more common dream sign is the dream taking place at night. it is almost always night time in a lot of the dreams i remember, or it will become night time suddenly.
I believe I used to have lucid dreams many years ago. At least i think I did because I was aware of the fact that I was in a dream. I don't seem to have them anymore and I assume it's because I am addicted to sleep meds. I started them about the age of 30 and have just never been able to stop.
Whenever I begin to realise I'm asleep, I get so excited that I wake myself up, and it's not a slow waking up it's like _bam_ then I'm awake so I can't even spin around in my dream to stop myself from waking if that makes sense?
The main reason I want to learn how to lucid dream is because the large majority of my “dreams” are actually nightmares, and always have been since I was a young child; and frankly, I’m sick of them interrupting my sleep. Once I have a nightmare, I can’t go back to sleep for at least an hour or the nightmare will continue, and continue, and continue forever until I get up and stay up. I’m not having night terrors, but when I wake up, I am so terrified that I walk around my house with my dog and my gun, even though I understand my fear is irrational. The fact that my dreams happen anywhere from 10-45 minutes after falling asleep (most happening closer to the 10-20 minute mark) makes it *very* difficult to get _ANY_ sleep, much less a “good nights sleep” (whatever that is). I still don’t understand why my nightmares happen so quickly after I fall asleep, obviously before I have a chance to get to REM sleep. If anyone has any advice, I’d greatly appreciate it. 🙏
Are you a veteran by any chance or did you contract PTSD somehow?! Are your nightmares related to traumatic experiences? If yes, you've got flashbacks, not exactly nightmares.
One Punch Anime well... normally you would want to see a sign before doing reality check or else you doing reality checks at random event through would not benefit you... example... if you only do reality checks at home... and in you're dream.. you're never home... r.i.p
That explains why I've been able to breath under water only in a dream. Is there more that meets the eye though? Like once I become more predominant in my dreams; is it possible to in a way "reconstruct your mind from the inside" or create a place that we can always go back to? Is it possible to design a maze in concious reality the same way we see in Inception?
Definately top 5 reasons you are not sucessfull in having a lucid dream. I am pretty new, but know about everything since I have watched practically all of your top videos and tutorials. 😂 So I am actually in the process of trying wbtb and doing this at the same time. Great video and keep up the good work!
You might have wanted to add a totem to this because it helps a lot. It's something you always keep on you and works very similarly to a reality check. Only thing is that with a totem, you need to truly believe that the unexpected will happen for it to work. My totem like figure is a yugioh card that I selected randomly. I constantly check it and I know that if I ever see the card that I'm dreaming. My way of using this is I visualise and believe that I have a certain yugioh card in my hand and if the face down card appears as the card I was thinking of I know I'm dreaming. If you've ever watched inception you'd know the basics of the totem used. It's best to use something you're most comfortable with. If you prefer using a coin and flipping it expecting it to land standing up then do that instead
Wow thanks for the video. Can I use lucid dreaming to help myself get over someone or something? I've read its possible to talk to your subconscious while dreaming lucid.
Aakash I'm not Giz, but yes. Lucid dreaming can help you grt over deaths, breakups, phobias, and others. It helps you let go and realize that (if a phobia of spiders for example,) that they are not a threat. For talking to your subconcious mind. This is a real thing in which you can accomplish in the dream by either sitting in front of yourself or looking at yourself in a mirror. Once you do that, you can talk to yourself, and since in a dream, it is your subconcious mind in which makes the answer to what you said or asked yourself. Good luck with your dreaming!
Krystal lol. In my opinion it's always best to assume you are dreaming. Even if you're not.... unless you are crazy psychopath who thinks they are in a dream constantly.... but normally just say "am I dreaming? What did I do 10mins ago, ect." Answer you're own questions. You can say "no, I'm not dreaming" but I wouldn't recommend that... I was in a dream and something told me to do reality check. I asked my self if I was dreaming, and I told my self. "It's to good for this to be a dream, there is just no way I'm inside a dream, the visuals and the high definition is to good to be a dream" lol.
I keep voice recordings as dream journals. I make sure every night to open the voice recording app on my phone and when I wake up I immediately reach for it and record everything I remember. Later on, at the evenings before I go to sleep I tend to re-listen my previous dreams from the last couple days, maybe sometime a fow older ones. It's actually amazing (and scary too) to remember every bit of them. Give voice recorders a try guys, takes less time to record your dreams and you can go back to sleep. My recordings are usually 2 mins in length.
kcolg321 lol.... well mmmm.... right... after waking up you're like "wow that was the greatest dream ever... ""3mins later"" ... what did I dream about?"
boy thats the 10th video about ludic dreaming ive watched in a roll, hope I get to lucid dream soon

Update: He's still lucid dreaming from the day he made this comment until now.

Great video, you're helping me a lot! Thanks
So happy to see you're still making videos!
“We need to write down our dreams like a serial killer.”
the place where you live looks so beautiful
I'm going to try and start lucid dreaming. Thanks for making this video!
Hey, how's your lucid dreaming still going ?
@@Gaurav.P0 holy shit I forgot I even made this comment, sadly I gave it up really soon after because I was focusing on a lot of personal stuff.
4:04 - 4:10. LMAOF! That set up was perfect! Giz, do you also teach comedy? Cause I think I am learning a lot!
Nice video!
Keep the beard, KEEP THE BEARD!

Stop fast
This seemed a lot more serious than usual for some reason

It's called Layer one. It will pass with time, the more that you do it the less frequently it will occur.
Hey, how's your lucid dreaming still going ?
That's a damn nice, blonde beard, Giz. You're a handsome guy.
So basicaly
1. Sleep more
2. Write down dreams in a dream journal (like a serial killer)
3. Do reality checks.

how do you remember to do a reality check?
Great video Giz!
My problem is that I don't have much discipline, so I generally don't do many reality checks :P
Question - I lost a childhood game and am very nostalgic about it. Would lucid dreaming about it give me the same nostalgic feelings if I played it?
yes your mind creates those memories and sensations
Remember that old RUclips app that came with Apple products before like, iOS 6?
Yeah, I was watching Giz videos on that. >D
But how do we realize our dream sign?
One Punch Anime well... normally you would want to see a sign before doing reality check or else you doing reality checks at random event through would not benefit you... example... if you only do reality checks at home... and in you're dream.. you're never home... r.i.p
How long does this take to get started at?
Can you do a video on the effectiveness of totems?
gizedwards, what is the best food to eat for lucid dreaming? I can't really find it on the internet.
Sorry for my bad English.

About how long would I need to be journaling to have a good level of consciousness within my dreams?

4:29 - time line on video - I did't understand which is the first best way for lucid dreaming.
My English is not perfect. :)

sometimes i know i'm dreaming but i don't go lucid
Gordon Freeman you do go luicid you just are more like watching it this is stage 3 called semi luicid more like just watching keep trying

I'm doing a story on sleep paralysis soon ;) even though it was short
I can remember my dreams for years without writing them down I'm a Dream Walker
Damn my signs are scary and worried and weird
5:11 Baiiiiiiii
senpai 😍😍
how long?
WHAT?
I guess he is asking... how long should he be writing down dreams like a teenage girl and attempt to do reality checks, ect....
When we do Reality Checks, are we supposed to sat to ourselves "I'm not dreaming right now" OR "i'm awake right now"???????????? PLEASE ANSWER :"(
Krystal lol. In my opinion it's always best to assume you are dreaming.

@@alexcastillo247 yep i had one too i said to myself no this cant be a dream cuz i dont know that language but it actually turned out to be one!!
teenaged serial killers must be the best lucid dreamers. huh.
How else are they so good at planning murders...
I wish i could watch u in rem
I feel like your a meme kinda guy

yes I am a serial killer. d:
"Uh yes Hello? Mr. 911? I would like to report a uh, "Dutchik" to be put onto a watch list please. Thank you"
John Doe hahaha! watch out john!
Dutchik This phone was discovered near the body of the murdered
/REDACTED\ D./REDACTED\
by the FBI and this conversation wil be used as evidence
Holy shit I saw a face in that old shed
Oh, and don't smoke weed before bed, it destroys your dream recall
kcolg321 lol.... well mmmm.... right... after waking up you're like "wow that was the greatest dream ever... ""3mins later"" ... what did I dream about?"
So smoking weed in other time is perfectly fine for your memory to recall dream?
