1. Sleep properly 2. Want a lucid dream and have a goal in mind 3. Write your dreams 4. Use reality checks (look hands, pinch nose) Advanced techniques: 1 M.I.L.D: as you fall asleep repeat “when I fall back asleep I will realize I’m dreaming”, imagine that in your previous dream you realized that you were dreaming 2. W.B.T.B: wake back to bed, sleep 4,5 to 5 hours and read from 5 to 50 minutes, try not to do it in bed, then fall asleep and imagine you will realize you are aleeping 3. W.I.L.D: falling asleep consciously. 4. Finger induced lucid dream: move two fingers slowly while falling asleep While dreaming: 1. Say clarity now 2. Say instead of thinking, (“I want to fly”)
dude i’m not a med student or anything but your lucid dreaming content is TOP TIER! it’s insanely motivating and it makes me really excited to lucid dream again after like 6 months
@aspol12 he means that there was no point in needing to point out that you weren’t a med student. And that you obviously wouldn’t need to be a med student to enjoy this content.
As a teenager I started writing my dreams down in a journal and then began regularly lucid dreaming. Eventually I would find I had the experience of feeling my entire body buzzing with electrical energy and hearing a high pitched hum, at this point I would imagine myself getting out of bed and slowly I would begin to see my bedroom and find myself able to walk around the house and the neighbourhood, one night I woke up and went to the bathroom, when I got back in my room I saw myself lying in bed, my body looked like it was surrounded by a golden light, more like an Out of Body Experience than a dream.
I had an out-of-body experience too. I woke up, and walked for a bit. I talked to my dead Grandpa (I never met him) for a bit. Then I walked back into my room and saw my body lying there. The sight of my body spooked me so much, I woke up for real. It was a surreal experience
Lucid dreaming is the most useful skill you can learn. It provides many benefits including: Problem solving Euphoria Getting rid of recurring nightmares Getting rid of fears More inspiration Getting better at other skills Higher self awareness It's something everyone should know about but most people just don't. Like, you can live a whole other simulated life complete with adventures to anywhere you want as long as you can imagine it and it feels just like real life. Dreams are highly underrated
@@sa4ra there is no such thing as a "lucid nightmare." Those two terms are contradictory. If you achieve true lucidity in a dream, you will know that everything you are seeing and experiencing is only a projection of your own mind and you won't be scared. You will know that your real body is safe in bed. You also cannot get "stuck" in a lucid dream no more than you can in a normal dream. Please don't let those "horror stories" of lucid dreaming stop you from learning. Most of those people are just out to get attention and are a big source of misinformation. There is absolutely nothing to be scared of with this subject : )
@@connerlee6494 really, this is so interesting, i guess i though that things like intrusive thoughts would make random scary things appear, but if that's not the case and I'll be able to wake my self then i really want to commit to lucid dreaming. Thank you man!!!
00:32 🌙 Lucid dreaming can be cultivated through practice, allowing control over dreams and potential life-changing experiences. 01:18 🛌 Proper sleep, especially longer REM cycles, increases the chances of having lucid dreams. 01:21 🎯 Having a clear goal and internal motivation for lucid dreaming is essential. 01:29 📖 Keeping a dream journal helps to reinforce the importance of lucid dreaming to the subconscious mind. 02:05 👃 Reality checks, like looking at your hands or pinching your nose, aid in realizing when you're in a dream. 03:29 🚀 Advanced techniques include MILD (Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dreaming), WBTB (Wake Back to Bed), and WILD (Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming). 07:24 🤔 During a lucid dream, increasing awareness, speaking out loud, and problem-solving are valuable experiences. 11:50 🌌 Exploring the universe and asking profound questions during lucid dreams can lead to self-discovery. 13:30 💡 The Ultimate Lucid Dreaming Technique, a combination of WILD, WBTB, and another technique, is discussed exclusively on Nebula.
I've had a lot of success achieving lucidity with a reality check that can be done unobtrusively. (Pinching your nose works, but it's kind of noticeable to everyone else.) I noticed long ago that in lucid dreams I can push my way through walls or windows or most anything else with just a bit of effort. This gave me the idea of pressing the index finger of one hand into the palm of the other. In the dream state this always results in my finger passing through my palm. There's a little resistance at first, but after 3 or 4 seconds it goes right through, proving to myself that I'm actually dreaming. Of course if you're awake nothing happens, but if you do this repeatedly throughout the day you WILL do it in your dreams and cross the threshold into lucid dreaming.

Great idea to press your finger through your palm 👍
@@coltyn2003 although it is common, it doesn't mean they had heard of it. If it is the case they figured it out without outside assistance, then they did come up with it, though it isn't a unique idea.
Ok, I'm back. My lucid experience: first of, I watched this video late, before sleep. I committed myself to have a lucid dream, I was already kind of sleepy, so I dozed off quickly. Long story short, I was with my wife and there was some caged lions on a park. In dreams, Murphy's law applies, a lion escaped and, of course, jumped me. I'm fighting for my life, as my wife kept talking to the lion trainer. Why? So I followed one of the steps: reality check. My wife ignoring my life threat. That was enough to know I was in a dream. So I got the lion off me and he leaved me alone. So I did it! Took control of my dream. Needs more practice, but it's a start.
@@xzuao4308 downside: I haven't been able to replicate, but I haven't been practicing either, to be honest. The spare of the moment must have been an influencing factor.
OMG, first night! 😳 I just woke up and had 2 lucid dreams, for real! Watched your first video and part of the 2nd before bed. Trying to fall asleep consciously seemed to help, and for me lying flat on my back I can sink into sleep and dreams best. During the first part of the night, I was tired but made myself wake up to write a couple words down, couldn’t remember much. But then there was this part when I thought I woke up but it wasn’t quite right. I remembered what you said and looked at my hands. It was the hands, definitely. My right hand. 6 fingers and I immediately got excited like you said you did, lol. I stood up in the dream and walked across the dark room. Not my room, more like my grandma’s old house, and I was shorter (?). Talking myself through it and my voice sounded weird. Lucid dream! I can do anything, right? What should I do? I had not pre-planned for this. Maybe find a (rotary) telephone and call someone? And then I woke up. It was about 5 hours into my sleep so I tried what you said and got up for a few minutes, then went back to sleep with conscious intention, and a bit of a plan for what to do if it happened again. Next dream was longer. I was with people I knew and trying to tell them about my 1st lucid dream (they didn’t seem to care too much) before I realized I was actually dreaming. Right hand was all f’d up, haha. Is this a 2nd lucid dream?!? Again, as I thought about what I could do and that I could do anything, I set off to do what I planned but felt myself coming out of it… I seemed to switch into my conscious thoughts rather than the dream as I woke up, but it was still cool. One interesting thing is I felt like real time would have been equal to dream time and was afraid I slept too long - logical mind - but time in the dream was much longer. Dude, that was amazing! Thank you! 😎🙏🏼
Wow what nice experiences you had, even on the first day this is pretty crazy, lucid dreams are pretty cool, just dedicate yourself and believe that you can have my congratulations!
What if, when you got to the phone and it started to ring and it was someone on the other line saying, "We've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty."
@@arthtunp4383 Hey thanks. Yeah, I tried again for a few nights and nothing. But it was cool and I think I was able to send a message of love and support to someone who needed it once I controlled myself in the 2nd dream. Maybe that was the whole purpose of this experience, to connect with this person and share, and then it was done. And that’s ok.
I've been trying to have lucid dreams for about 4 months it took a long time for me to have the first one after that I had 3 more in a quick period but I made mistakes and keep making mistakes on this journey, mainly Regarding sleep quality and having a goal of what to do in those dreams. Turns out I had little awareness in dreams and that was a little annoying
Yeah takes a good amount of practice, keep going, eventually it made me look forward to sleep because I was excited to have dreams where I could take control
Great video, the editing is amazing! I have had lucid dreams many times somehow but never intentionally. It was great to know that one can have them on command. So many possibilities!
Lucid dreaming really is life-changing! The lucid dreams themselves are transformative in many cases. Also the practices, especially with awareness, make one a better, more intuitive and more present human being. For a wealth of information, tutorials and guidance, check out the Lucid Dream Portal channel here for great info, no BS. It is the best source for learning how to lucid dream.
I'm glad I stumbled on this video. I've been controlling my dreams for years as well as using them to get information I need in my personal life. I taught myself to fly intentionally over the last 10 years and also I enjoy levitating things in my dreams. I had no idea this was a technique or name for it. Thanks for the awesome video!!
I don't wake up at night, I sleep! Writing dreams can only be done in the morning for me, maybe I wake up once in a while but it is VERY rare. Although, I had many lucid dreams in my life; surely I can't count them. You inspired me to start doing it more seriously. I'm wondering how it could be if I actually put effort into it. Cool video! Nice of you to share your experience!
When I was about 6/7 yrs old, I figured out that by repeating "it's a dream" over & over in my head while trying to fall asleep & after a few days it worked & I was controlling my dreams. It eventually got harder the older I got.
My goal is actually weird. I want to recreate a dream I had years ago. The dream was a football (european football) match, but the players and team staff were characters from anime and videogames I used to play. I don't remember all characters but some of them were: - Goalkeepers: Slenderman and Cho'gath, from LOL; - Wingers: Altair and Ezio from assassin's creed; Yasuo, from LOL, and Corvo Attano, from dishonored; (Altair and Yasuo were in one team, Ezio and Corvo in the other) - Strikers: Goku and Vegeta (opposing teams, obviously) - Coaches: L and Light, from death Note. I want to recreate this dream, to see the remaining players and staff, and to see who wins.
I'm new to lucid dreaming and well I'm now learning a lot about it and I've been trying to lucid dream for a while and a couple of times I was aware of my dreams, but still couldn't control them because it was my first time! Now my research finished with your vidoes abt the topic and now I will try controlling my dreams and achieve my goal which is to create and entire small world where my problems don't exist and where all my imaginary friends are, so we can go to adventures or something and be happy and do all the things a normal child does
Ok, I just wanna vent my lucid dreaming problems for a sec to see if anyone can relate. Whenever I try to keep a dream journal, I always end up ditching it after a few weeks bc I start remembering my dreams too much, to the point that it takes me 30 min to write it all down. But if I don't write it all down then I fear I might forget it. Also, I rarely ever have dreams where I'm fully immersed in the dream, especially as of lately. I end up with half lucid and 3rd person dreams where I feel like I'm both a person in the dream and like I'm watching the dream take place from above at the same time, and my feelings can influence what happens in the dream, but I can never truly get to a state of lucidness. It's just so frustrating.
He Zach, thank you very much for creating this video! Super awesome to hear you about lucid dreaming and hear the tips. Also awesome to discover that wrote the whole script down in a blog post. Gone try that 30 day challenge you described in an other video and see where it gets me. Thanks
I have this one recurring dream where I'm at school with no shoes on and don't notice until later in the day. I've had this dream so many times that as soon as I notice that my shoes are off, I become lucid. I remember the last time I had this dream I was walking with my friend in the school's hallway. He asked me, "where are your shoes?" I looked down and immediately became lucid and said, "Ben, I'm dreaming." Soon after I kinda made the school crash down then escaped to Mars, but we don't talk about that...
I feel this lucid dreaming without doing anything, I don't know why, just feel that I get way more lucid dreams that anyone, it feels weird, I can sense things happening in real life but I am sleeping, I can think in my dreams, I can think and imagine, then with a jerk or a noise outside, I wake up and my heart is beating like 120 or 140.. and then I fall back asleep.. all I do is, it's a habit me from childhood, I always means always when sleeping I imagine whatever I want, mostly me doing my dream job of owning a big company but keep it not too intense like a war or something, it won't work, something settle and small like sitting in a beach or just keep talking weirdly, it isn't possible to explain it, I remember the first time it happened, it was literally in my appartment, in the basement, with my family, there were cars for sale, insted of cars being parked in their spots, different cars were being sold there, I remember, when my dad said that this car was hus favourite, I was absolutely disgusted (just like in real life), it was a old car, with no windshield, rusted, blue, small, wheels broken and no wheels, I wanted a big car that was nearby, then I remember my mom was is in the car, asking my dad is she was correct on the controls, then it happened, the car was actually a flying car, I got super thrilled when I saw it could fly, I asked my mom and sat to drive it, whe car's controls were 2 big joysticks, I remember somehow I knew moving it, I set the motion, and suddenly the car went high up into the air, basically, my appartment basement was on road level, everything built off, there is a back wall what has a gap like a very big fence , behind is where some people live, I remember flying through the gap at supersonic speed, after reaching the clouds, the can went head first down at speed, at that time, I could really feel the motion of air, like when you are really falling from top, the weird feeling in my stomach, the air hitting my face, I could feel everything, then, instead of those people, the backside area was a farm land with cows, I woke up like inches before I hit the ground, and all this happened years ago, I still remember from that feeling to the dialogues in perfect memory.. (I keep forgetting stuff)..
I want to thank my younger self for using the W.I.L.D technique. I always fall asleep with an idea in my head, I don't have a time when I am empty minded so when I get to a dream what I was thinking of happens, now I just need to do these things you said about and I should be there in no time lol
Amazing video I really enjoyed how you narrated everything and how you managed to conquer your nightmare man you have an amazing content, keep it up, subscribed 👍❤️🙏.
I have the habit of writing down my dreams on my phone or a notebook whenever I have dreams that I consider important, lucid or vivid. That I want to remember, that is. I know you're not supposed to use your phone because of blue light, but I still use it in general because it's faster and that way it allows me to capture more details before I forget it. As one of the requisites for this is sleeping properly, I have to say is that this could finally be an actual way to fix my poor sleep habits. Damn. Also, thank you for the video! Had a really intriguing dream yesterday, I was with a blonde girl, we were talking and in a moment she lays in a couch at my side, and I kiss her. That was nice, but the most interesting part was that at some point I realised I didn't know that girl (don't think I even saw her face, but still I wouldn't know her) even though it felt like we shared a life together, like if we were a couple and way more things had happened in the dream before what I remember. It's hard to explain, it was like I didn't know her, but at the same time I did, cause we were talking so casually! As if the dream was just a small part of a way longer dream, actually. I know it's kinda dumb but whenever I have these sorts of dreams I'm obsessed, it leaves me wondering if I can figure them out like: Who is this girl? Is her someone I'll know in the future, or is it just a sign from my subconscious? It's like "Dude, I have to know!" And I don't get wonder this things for no reason. There have been times that I had these short dreams that were like flashes of trivial scenes, that seemed normal but then THEY ENDED UP HAPPENING IN REAL LIFE AFTERWARDS. Feel free to believe me or not, but I'm serious. At the moment it just feels like a dejá vù and I don't give it too much importance, but when I think about it, it's almost scary. So, lucid dreams could be a way for me to figure out the meaning behind those kinds of dreams. I've been really interested in it ever since I knew about the topic too.
I had Lucid dreaming a few times without knowing what it was, I told my mom I was conscious in my dream. I didn’t do anything with them except for one. I have sensitive feet, I don’t go barefoot. I was dreaming, I was on the gravel road in front of a barn and I looked down and saw myself barefoot. I said, I must be dreaming, because I wouldn’t be able to do this for real if I was awake. I saw a figure of a man next to me, I heard him more then saw him, he asked where I was going, I said, for a walk, I’m going to enjoy this walk barefoot. He joined me on my walk. Then I woke up. I haven’t did any Lucid dreaming since. I’m going to try these techniques. It I can Lucid dream, I want to meet my highest true form and have a conversation with them and write them down. From there I don’t know. I will also dream of an happenings and I will say oh I remember this, and I will go through what happens, then it doesn’t go the way it was supposed to happen. That gets frustrated when I’m trying to redirect it, but it goes off some where else. My bladder usually has me looking for a bathroom in my dreams and wakes me from 2 to 3 times a night and sometimes after 4 hrs asleep. Thank you for your videos.
I now realize I had lucid dreams as a kid before I knew what it was. I just imagined what I wanted to dream and then just began to dream it and manipulated the dream as I wanted. But growing up, I lost it. Now I look forward to doing it again.
I am watching your videos from a such a long time. I really wanna apriciate you for this experiment. It's awesome - sometime I do feel after I wake up like- am I dreaming. Just few days before. Before these I use to sleep about 6 hr. But now 7hr and it's make many experiences ❤️
Ive only recently started practicing lucid dreaming, and i find that my main issues with these types of things is i tend to overthink things in the night and dont have the discipline to get myself to properly prepare in the day. Any advice?
While a majority of people can enjoy lucid dreaming, there are caveats with lucid dreaming that sometimes are overlooked. From the order of least to most important. 1. Some of the people who lucid dream that I've spoken with have stated disappointment that the quality of their dreams seems to take on a more mundane character over time after frequent lucid episodes. One friend said his dreams became more like VR chatroom with standard props and characters. His sleep was "boring" and not emotionally restorative. Not true of everyone obviously but something to bear in mind. Not every dream needs to be a "lucid" one. 2. It takes time to control elements of the dream. As Zach has mentioned, being aware does not mean you can control it. It is sometimes hard to disengage real world physics even knowing it's a dream. Friends have reported disappointment that they didn't have god-like powers. 3. Have an external alarm. One acquaintance did not believe in alarm clocks. He was actually pretty good at telling himself to wake up at a certain time. He had a lucid dream that turned into a nightmare and felt like he couldn't wake himself up out of his lucid dream. His partner nudged him and he woke up. He then became afraid of going to sleep and "being trapped in his nightmare". When you believe you should be in control but you feel you're not, it can be frightening. 4. Individuals on meds for sleep disorders should be cautious. Ambien and other Z-drugs are notorious for somnambulistic behaviors (sleep eating, sleep driving, etc.). Some medications also block dreams or affect the sleep cycle making it hard to impossible to have a lucid dream. 5. While cataplexy is relatively uncommon, waking up and being unable to move can be frightening. One female friend has reported it after lucid dreaming. We had discussed similarities of astral projection and lucid dreams. I have since heard a couple others mention it. The situation they mentioned was having a nightmare, realizing it and then waking unable to move. They were not experimenting with lucid dreams but the liminal transition of awareness to wakefulness was there. 6. Individuals who have or are being treated for mental health need to alert/involve their psychiatrist or therapist before beginning. Schizophrenia spectrum disorders can often mimic lucid dreaming states. This disorder makes reality testing difficult in the first place. Individuals with Dissociative disorders need to avoid lucid dreaming as it can trigger alters (alternate personalities). One individual with DID told me he went to bed and "woke up" two months later in a different town with a different job and no idea what happened. He remembered parts of it but it "felt like a dream". Individuals with PTSD typically have very vivid dreams/nightmares. Lucid dreaming exercises could intensify these. Under guidance of a therapist, this can be healing. Without supervision, it could trigger or intensify symptoms.
One of the most afraid I’ve ever been was what I would call ‘inception syndrome’. I woke up from a lucid dream and instantly had an anxiety attack that I was not actually awake and that my reality checks just weren’t reliable.
Yes it's definitely possible to induce lucid dreaming! I did it for years having somehow learned how to back when i was a teenager. I never read a book on it... i just i guess figured it out. But ever since I developed psoriatic arthritis i dont really dream anymore unfortunately, or at least is extremely rare. i think its cuz i really dont sleep through the night. i constantly wake up tossing and turning. recently i started taking a sleeping pill. it definitely helps me be fully rested but still no dreams yet... that i can remember. It's a bummer.
When I first learned about lucid dreaming, I always did reality checks. And then, one night, I was dreaming and I did the reality check with my nose. I was able to breathe trough it... but I was a bit stupid and thought "whatever, it's real anayways". And I did not realise I was dreaming. Now I am trying it again, a few years later, and I really hope that this time, it works, because I was so close once.
Had my 1st lucid dream last Friday, 3/3/23. It was fantastic, I had so much fun with it! Old people in motorcycle jackets were zooming by me on motorcycles with their wheels in the air inside a wide, barely sunlit (from windows) carpeted hallway. I shouted/asked an old man and woman who were they, what were their names, what did they mean?! No answer, so I hung a left down to a wide staircase where a slow moving line was forming. A small hole opened up on the step I was on where a skull face appeared and it grabbed my left leg trying to pull me into the hole. I couldn't get it to release so I mind-manipulated one of the MC jacketed seniors that was way downstairs/outside to fly and tackle the skeleton underneath the stairs. I didn't see it happen, but I made it happen and my leg was free. It ended when I tried to focus too hard at a young (seemed to be Asian?) woman I was standing behind in the line. She had long black hair and I was trying to make out the details of her face while yelling/asking her the same questions I asked the old people. Her face was blurry then got swirly/gray/smoky with the more I kept trying to focus on her face and then the dream was over. I was completely aware I was dreaming the whole time. I wanna do it again so bad, but with a little more less shouty finesse. 😊
Last year I had a lucid dream where I was in my school and the floor was full of water and we had so much fun I laughed and I was so happy and then I kinda realised that I was in a dream and after a few seconds i woke up and had a sleep paralysis, and even tho it was scary, i still like these kind of experiences
Hi Zach, great video and wonderful information. Thank you! I would recommend another alternative to Journaling when waking up from the dream is to record the dream with your cellphone, then later on listen to it and write it down cementing your dream on the journal, more of the dream will be coming back to you as you write it down. That has worked for me well, also I have notice by making it a habit using my cellphone, it appears in my dreams and that is my clue that I am dreaming. I know that because I tried to take pictures of my dreamscape and my phone would not work or the apps start jumping out of the phone bringing me into awareness. Great stuff! thank you so much for sharing your amazing experiences. 😀👍
I think we all have lucid dreams but have the time can't remember them ,your subconscious from daytime spilling over to nighttime, I have quiet an adventures imagination so my mind goes off into its own world at sleep time,the more you doing and think in your waking life the more your probably dream about something,I always no when I'm in a dream just have a great time till you wake.
I feel like i dont have nightmares like other people. My nightmares are situations where i need to act quickly but im stuck and cant do anything. I found these useful in real life because ive noticed I react quickly without even thinking. For example, a friend was putting gas on a fire and it caught his pants on fire. I instantly rush to him and put the fire out with no thought involved. Also i was really drunk. This isnt the only time this has happened. So i feel because of my dream where im stuck, i reacted so quickly in real life. I thought this was interesting.
Every morning I wake up, I go out of my bed, and then find myself again in my bed dreaming that I got out of my bed. It sucks because I feel trapped in my, everytime I go out of bed was just a dream. That happens to me everyday starting the Covid-19. And then one time, I dream again of going out of bed and it was very real, I was already making my coffee when I realized "oh this a dream, doesn't matter". That's when I discovered lucid dreaming my self, I tried teleporting by closing my eyes and it happened. Every morning, I do lots of experiment in my dream. The only problem I have, is how to stay longer in a lucid dream?
That first one is actually very common, they're called false awakenings and can be a great way to lucid dream. I often have them when waking up from one. To stay in a dream longer there is a practice called stabilization. Try feeling things around you or go near the most vivid thing you see. Try not to get too excited
I tired to lucid dream a while ago i gave up because i was having a hard time determining reality and dreams since i started to remember all my dreams but i never wrote them down (yes im an idiot)ever since I haven’t been able to not dream only if i am super exhausted the night before i got it back down to only remembering one dream and it fixed my issue but now I’m ready as an adult to try again! Already have a step up with dream recall, wooo hopefully i can this time, this video gave me courage to try again
what you noted about not being able to fly in a dream unill you say it out loud(or something similar to that) is actually a common thing that also happens in the wake world, while it probably isn't smart to talk about the specific thing where this is most common, it is really a interesting thing, it actually goes much further as well, since it shows exactly why in your dream you have trouble doing it even when you are concious unless you do something like that saying to convince yourself. I can talk about it if you want to, the thing is this is some kind of next stage beyond just lucid dreaming. even though most people who can actually do it well are naturally born with tallent for it, so most people don't really learn it later, either they learn it as a child often while playing or such, or they just learn it on instinct. most of those people however never have someone to train them or train with so most of them have terrible controll and actually that speciffic problem you noted is something they get very strongly often and which often is insanely hard for them to conquer. but once you can do that thing and also master that fault(so for example if you also are super good in basic lucid dreaming) then a completely new world and next level of things opens to you. just take the experience you get when lucid dreaming, but then amplify that and kind of do it on command, as well as some much more interesting things that would however say to much already for now. many people with tallent for it however have trouble with Lucid Dream training, they do sometimes just get lucid dreams, and even more often can do the things they can do in lucid dreams even when a dream isn't completely forced lucid, but reality checks and such typically don't work well for them especially on later age since their dream can actually be more realistic than this world, for example more dimensions and senses are common simple examples of it, also in their normal dreams quite regularly it can actually affect or mimmic their normal senses for example breathing with the nose closed can in some cases for them not work in a dream. if you(whoever reads this) wants to know more about it I can explain more about it and actually tell about it. but be WARNED!(decided to add that like that so peolpe don't accidentally skip it) this is something you should only go into if you want it, even just reading or hearing about it can cause many peoples body to greatly panick causing them to automatically behave and think stupid and bad without actually thinking or wanting to improve.
if you(whoever reads this) wants to know more about it I can explain more about it and actually tell about it. but be WARNED!(decided to add that like that so peolpe don't accidentally skip it) this is something you should only go into if you want it, even just reading or hearing about it can cause many peoples body to greatly panick causing them to automatically behave and think stupid and bad without actually thinking or wanting to improve. while I didn't say how it works or what it does and can do and such, here are some things to help you decide if you want it: people who would want it can be seen as extremely agreeing with or wanting the following things: 1. having real freedom as much as possible, so no need to controll others, no need to follow patterns or rules, just wanting to be able to do whatever you want however you want, or actually whatever you feel like however you feel like, this includes doing things that you don't even know if it is possible and how. 2. not having to rely on physical things or people to have that freedom, for example not needing money at all to do whatever you want(ofcource you can use and have money,( but if your thinking tells you you need and want money to reach your goals over being able to reach the exact same thing without having to rely on things like money and other people, then this probably isn't someting you can handle, unless reading this manages to open you to thinking about the possibilties of not having to rely on standard systems to reach your goals then you might be). 3. you like and want lucid dreaming or similar things just for being able to do it, for freedom, or for something like fun or excitement. 4. don't want to rely to strongly on anything except for yourself(your feeling and feelings of those you trust and feel), and to some slight extend the things and people you care about. here is a nice example of it, you have people who obsess over money and work, and you have people who obsess over not having to rely on money or work at a company or such. a person who would want this thing I talk about would want to be neither of them, so would want to have to obsess or rely on any such things. they don't want to have to rely on it and be stuck in it instead they want to do just whatever they feel like in that moment for however far and in whatever way they feel like it. also there is a 5th point wich actually isn't part of it, but can be, so it isn't part of people who are capable of handling the actual thing. but this 5th point is for things like humans or similar who might want it to some extend but can't handle the actual freedom(not freedom as in not having or needing to do things(like helpping your friends would be something you need to do typically since you wouldn't want them to get hurt), but freedom as in being able and capable of doing whatever you want without having to look at anything(which also would result in the other version of freedom). since if you really want the capability and freedom but can't handle the 4 points to well, then as long as you are not a evil person and you do not want to controll or opress others then this still might be interesting for you to know about since there actually still is a method to kind of do it, but in that case it isn't often completely on your own so you would rely on others(untill you get well enough adapted to freedom that you can be free, but don't expect it to be easy, even this method would make you a outcast to humanity, since you will never be able to see the world like a average human living in human society anymore and never be able to think or act like them again, the only way you can do that then is by pretending, quite much like a little child pretending to be someone or something, if you want to be like a normal human after getting there you would just be acting and either experiencing what it would be to be someone else, or just a mental fictional character. humanity also will look much more primitive and their evils will become much more obvious, not everyone can handle that either, since you will see what is wrong while they think it to be perfectly fine, you might even know or see solutions but they won't be able to hear you or will just ignore it, many humans will also react agressive if they start to notice/feel like(so before they are conciously aware) what you can, do and are. this agressiveness can out in many ways like fear, hate, violence, ignorance, etc. this isn't just like getting some extra time in a lucid dream, this actually is something far greater and further even though once you have reached it you will probably just think you where stupid for seeing it as something different from lucid dreaming. essentially if you master it you have perfect contoll over yourself and perfect understanding and feeling of yourself, and will be dynamic because of that since you can follow your feeling instead of having to rely on a pattern. it also no longer requires things like reality checs, so if you would want to lucid dream you actaully wouldn't need to do reality checks and you wouldn't even need to keep a log or such anymore, while it isn't just lucid dreaming, mastering it also makes you a master of lucid dreaming. also back to he part where most people would panick even subconciously, (so not only their concious mind but also their subconcious mind would panick, this makes it something harder to open up to than lucid dreaming, since with lucid dreaming only the conciousnes might slightly panick. it is like following the white rabbit in the matric and deciding to take the red pill to go to reality instead of your olde delusions. sadly for how far I know mastering it isn't as easy as just taking a red pill and following a white rabbit, while it also actually can be more esy than that in some cases when it comes instinctively. but most people will panick and will even reject the possibility of thinking about it. they will be so scared that it might actually stick similar like a trauma, but they won't be concious enough to notice it as a trauma and fear/panick response, instead they will be cocky and try to enforce their delusions they made to hide from their fear on others. this is why it is even dangerous to talk about it to most people. showing can in some cases with natural tallents who lack controll actually do wonders while with people who have great contoll but very limited it can still cause them to go insane(had someone who beleived to be into such things and beleived to be good in it actually try to kill me after I accidentally made her see it was all real and not just something I talked about, that person suddenly felt super weak and afreaid because of that and since I was the only one she knew who was far enough into such things she came to the conclusion that if she would kill me all those strange things would be gone because then it would be and stay hidden without someone who is capable of showing it, and then she would go back to feeling super powerfull in that theory, this took a few years, that peron by now has recovered, actually due to time and D&D probably since time allowed her to heal and D&D allowed her to think less in things like digital things and less seeing things as "facts" and such just opening the mind a little to differences. perhaps if you want to prepare for mentally being capable of accepting it you might want to first visualise, pretend, or simulate being many other people/creatures in many different situations and scenarios, including ones where you literally just do whatever you want, but also some where you have to face being much weaker than other thigns so facing weaknes. even though you want to be free instead of weak, facing weakness allows you to not let the idea of it conroll you, it allows you to better controll your fears, since fears are dangerous. oh and for those who wonder no I am no talking about opening the third eye what people typically talk about this is many levels further, even though in theory if you see the third eye just as a state of energy/concious of the many states the body has(so quite much like how it is used in old meditation and such) then the third eye would also be opened, but I am not talking about that actually something going much further, even though actually your third eye chakra would be open and possibly even furher than just opened as a part/side result/thing of it.
I wake up at 11:00 pm a lot and normally fall asleep around 9-9:30 pm sometimes I fall asleep at 8:00 pm, so I normally get 2 to 3 hours of sleep before going back to sleep, so how would that affect lucid dreaming
One thing is clear: If you already have troubles sleeping, this training is not an option. Just the thought of setting an alarm clock to wake me up when I am finally sleeping horrifies me!
I think i have an important question How do you guys wake up in the middle of the night after a dream? Do you set random alarm and hope that before it you will have a dream? Or maybe you naturally wake up after a dream?
I think its just a natural wake up. I could be wrong but, when you naturally wake and remember a dream, you are on the edge of lucid dreaming. So writing your dreams as soon as you wake up will help you to realize your dreaming without waking up in the moment. I know when i wake up and remember a dream, if i dont consciously think about it i forget it all together after a few minutes. I could be way off base here as i am no expert, but thats how i understand it.
I watched your other video on this last night. I tried to lucid dream but it didn't happen. I woke up from a dream that had the late Robin Williams in it. I woke up and told myself that if I got back in the dream, I would tell him that he was missed... And I did when I got back in the dream! He just said "I know" with a kind of sad smile.
The ultimate lucid dream is what we call the waking state. In other words, this earthly realm is a lucid dream. Passing away from this realm=waking up.
I noticed a while ago the ability to read numbers in dreams doesn't work. Anything having numbers, like city block street signs, phone numbers on cabs, etc. are blurred or impossible to decipher, perhaps because the subconscious works in images while the conscious is adept at calculation. Might be another good reality check to practice while awake. Thanks!
7:00 WAIT WAIT WAIT, you got the FILD method wrong! what that does is not "wait, i am dreaming cuz my fingers are moving", it actually just simulates a part of a brain that keeps your brain awake but your body sleeps, which is good for lucid dreaming.
Trying to lucid dream is way too scary for me, although I used to have plenty lucid dreams when I was younger. I remember all my last few lucid dreams, I spent them fucking bitches lol
Love this channel. Book recommendation for anyone interested in this subject matter: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from dreams, time travel, death, the afterlife, extraterrestrials, the Vatican Archives, the Renaissance secrets, the Pyramids and Pharaohs, Jesus, Sinai, Hebrew letters…etc. Wild read. Best I’ve had in years.
When I was young I used the love/affection technic (naturally) to stop a recuring nightmare. After a week of the same dream of a killer trying to kill me and other people, when he caught me I said I can help you catch the other and be your friend! Never made the nighmare again cause he was my homie xd
I wonder, is the feeling of falling and jolting yourself back awake one of those WILD feelings? I get that a lot when I try to follow myself into dreaming.
DUDE!!! First night after watching your video and trying the W.I.L.D technique, it happened. I never been so terrified in my life. It felt like my body caught fire and I could literally feel gravity pressing down on me. The pitch blackness of having my eyes closed changed to static like on an old TV set and then here's the kicker. There was like a voice and it was the only thing I could hear, it was screaming, but it was so poweful I swore I was getting abducted. I used the two finger technique and had to keep reattempting during the night, because everything it happened. It was to much to handle. Dude isn't playing. It's not for the feint of heart. I had no lucid dream, but now I'm so curious to who I telhe hell was talking to me last night
You had sleep paralysis last night man, never had if myself but heard a lot of stories about it, its when your body is almost asleep so you cant move and around you demons can talk to you and like stand next to your bed. Sleep paralysis is Just a big Error inside your brain
Woah!!! I want to make it clear I was definitely able to move. I was squeezing my pillow because of how terrified I was🤣🤣🤣 I can't say anything about the demons tho
Everyone dreams but not everyone remembers their dreams. Start writing down your dreams as soon as you remember them and your dream recall (memory) will improve and you’ll remember multiple dreams a night
@@ZachHighley when I do dream. I remember them pretty vividly. Oddly enough, most of my dreams, become reality. Say weeks or months go by after a dream. Then all of a sudden, I’m in that moment from my dream, like I dreamt it before it happened, and I can tell what’s about to happen, before it happens. Almost like seeing the future. And I have no clue if others experience this as well. I don’t have dreams of aliens or any type of way out there thoughts like flying with pigs. Mostly pretty normal, down to earth dreams. Thanks for the very quick response btw!
@@blink182stile Dejavu? The same thing happens to me, maybe not entire events but small moments where I feel like I have already experienced/know what's going to happen in the next second. I do have some realistic dreams, but some of those feel terrifyingly so much so that I hope they never happen irl.
Cool video dude, I can see your passion and love towards Lucid Dreaming. I'm Lucid dreaming today of a Spiderman secret lab to create all my gadgets into Reality. Keep spreading awareness ❤
I've been lucid dreaming since I was around 4. I don't write down my dreams or do reality checks or anything. Usually lucid dreams just happen on their own but I made up a way to make myself lucid dream (I guess it would be the wild method? I've never heard of It until now) I lay down on my back and pay attention to the squiggles when you close your eyes. I try not to think about anything and make sure to stay completely still. It usually takes 15 minutes max before I'm in a lucid dream. I also do this if I'm just having trouble falling asleep
Oooohhhh, so THATS why I heard that bang!! I do not and had not ever tried lucid dreaming but one night several months ago I heard an extremely LOUD bang that woke me up and scared the crap out of me. Almost as if someone had fired a gunshot But, it was not a gunshot. I intuitively knew it had happened inside my mind while I was asleep but I never learned why. NOW I know!!
Idk of this is right or not but if I don’t lucid dream but have a usual one I write down what o can remember in the morning so I can try picture it the next night. Can somebody tell me if I’m wasting my time?
SUMMARY: MILD 1. Write down dreams 2. When going to sleep, repeat "When I fall back asleep, I will realize Im dreaming". 3. Picture yourself becoming Lucid in your previous dream. WBTB 1. Set an alarm fo 4-5 hours after you sleep. 2. Wake up, get out of bed and into chair, and do something for 10 minutes (NOT electronics) 3. Then, fall back asleep and picture yourself becoming Lucid while doing so. WILD: 1. When falling asleep, fall asleep consciously. 2. Now, don't be afraid if weird things happen, as its all happens every night; just unconsciously. FILD: 1. Move pointer and middle finger really slowly, so slowly they may not be moving but they appear to be in your head. TO DO IN DREAM: Reality Check. Say things.

How nice of you ❤
dude i’m not a med student or anything but your lucid dreaming content is TOP TIER! it’s insanely motivating and it makes me really excited to lucid dream again after like 6 months
Rlly, i return lucid dream a few weeks ago and I'm having good results but I still feel my dreams with little lucidity and clarity
Okay? I'm not an english student and I read your comment
@@Genos72453 huh?
@aspol12 he means that there was no point in needing to point out that you weren’t a med student. And that you obviously wouldn’t need to be a med student to enjoy this content.
As a teenager I started writing my dreams down in a journal and then began regularly lucid dreaming. Eventually I would find I had the experience of feeling my entire body buzzing with electrical energy and hearing a high pitched hum, at this point I would imagine myself getting out of bed and slowly I would begin to see my bedroom and find myself able to walk around the house and the neighbourhood, one night I woke up and went to the bathroom, when I got back in my room I saw myself lying in bed, my body looked like it was surrounded by a golden light, more like an Out of Body Experience than a dream.
this sounds a bit like astral projecting
How regularly, daily, or weekly?
I had an out-of-body experience too. I woke up, and walked for a bit. I talked to my dead Grandpa (I never met him) for a bit. Then I walked back into my room and saw my body lying there. The sight of my body spooked me so much, I woke up for real. It was a surreal experience
And then you woke up lmao
Its the same,AP and LD ist one and the same..
Lucid dreaming is the most useful skill you can learn. It provides many benefits including:
Problem solving
Euphoria
Getting rid of recurring nightmares
Getting rid of fears
More inspiration
Getting better at other skills
Higher self awareness
It's something everyone should know about but most people just don't. Like, you can live a whole other simulated life complete with adventures to anywhere you want as long as you can imagine it and it feels just like real life. Dreams are highly underrated
I would love to start lucid dreaming but the idea that it could turn into a vivid lucid nightmare is what prevents me from doing it, it's scary ik
@@sa4ra there is no such thing as a "lucid nightmare." Those two terms are contradictory. If you achieve true lucidity in a dream, you will know that everything you are seeing and experiencing is only a projection of your own mind and you won't be scared. You will know that your real body is safe in bed. You also cannot get "stuck" in a lucid dream no more than you can in a normal dream. Please don't let those "horror stories" of lucid dreaming stop you from learning. Most of those people are just out to get attention and are a big source of misinformation. There is absolutely nothing to be scared of with this subject : )
@@connerlee6494 really, this is so interesting, i guess i though that things like intrusive thoughts would make random scary things appear, but if that's not the case and I'll be able to wake my self then i really want to commit to lucid dreaming. Thank you man!!!
i only know about it at a surface level. are there ANY negative side affects that are known?

00:32 🌙 Lucid dreaming can be cultivated through practice, allowing control over dreams and potential life-changing experiences.
01:18 🛌 Proper sleep, especially longer REM cycles, increases the chances of having lucid dreams.
01:21 🎯 Having a clear goal and internal motivation for lucid dreaming is essential.
01:29 📖 Keeping a dream journal helps to reinforce the importance of lucid dreaming to the subconscious mind.
02:05 👃 Reality checks, like looking at your hands or pinching your nose, aid in realizing when you're in a dream.
03:29 🚀 Advanced techniques include MILD (Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dreaming), WBTB (Wake Back to Bed), and WILD (Wake Induced Lucid Dreaming).
07:24 🤔 During a lucid dream, increasing awareness, speaking out loud, and problem-solving are valuable experiences.

Bro if I look down at my hands and see seven fingers I'll wake myself up with cardiac arrest
I've had a lot of success achieving lucidity with a reality check that can be done unobtrusively. (Pinching your nose works, but it's kind of noticeable to everyone else.)
I noticed long ago that in lucid dreams I can push my way through walls or windows or most anything else with just a bit of effort. This gave me the idea of pressing the index finger of one hand into the palm of the other. In the dream state this always results in my finger passing through my palm. There's a little resistance at first, but after 3 or 4 seconds it goes right through, proving to myself that I'm actually dreaming. Of course if you're awake nothing happens, but if you do this repeatedly throughout the day you WILL do it in your dreams and cross the threshold into lucid dreaming.
Great idea to press your finger through your palm 👍
That's something I usually do. I count my fingers a few times, then try to put my index finger through my other hand.
Lmao you didn't come up with this yourself, this is a very common reality check used by lucid dreamers.
@@coltyn2003 although it is common, it doesn't mean they had heard of it. If it is the case they figured it out without outside assistance, then they did come up with it, though it isn't a unique idea.
I just did it! 1st night, 1st lucid dream! Within minutes. I tell about it tomorrow, going back to sleep.
This works, people!👍👍👍
Ok, I'm back. My lucid experience: first of, I watched this video late, before sleep. I committed myself to have a lucid dream, I was already kind of sleepy, so I dozed off quickly.
Long story short, I was with my wife and there was some caged lions on a park. In dreams, Murphy's law applies, a lion escaped and, of course, jumped me.
I'm fighting for my life, as my wife kept talking to the lion trainer. Why? So I followed one of the steps: reality check. My wife ignoring my life threat. That was enough to know I was in a dream. So I got the lion off me and he leaved me alone.
So I did it! Took control of my dream. Needs more practice, but it's a start.

I loved the first video to this series. Such an interesting way to create these types of dreams
OMG, first night! 😳 I just woke up and had 2 lucid dreams, for real!
Watched your first video and part of the 2nd before bed. Trying to fall asleep consciously seemed to help, and for me lying flat on my back I can sink into sleep and dreams best. During the first part of the night, I was tired but made myself wake up to write a couple words down, couldn’t remember much.
But then there was this part when I thought I woke up but it wasn’t quite right. I remembered what you said and looked at my hands. It was the hands, definitely. My right hand. 6 fingers and I immediately got excited like you said you did, lol. I stood up in the dream and walked across the dark room. Not my room, more like my grandma’s old house, and I was shorter (?). Talking myself through it and my voice sounded weird. Lucid dream! I can do anything, right? What should I do? I had not pre-planned for this. Maybe find a (rotary) telephone and call someone? And then I woke up.
It was about 5 hours into my sleep so I tried what you said and got up for a few minutes, then went back to sleep with conscious intention, and a bit of a plan for what to do if it happened again.
Next dream was longer. I was with people I knew and trying to tell them about my 1st lucid dream (they didn’t seem to care too much) before I realized I was actually dreaming. Right hand was all f’d up, haha. Is this a 2nd lucid dream?!? Again, as I thought about what I could do and that I could do anything, I set off to do what I planned but felt myself coming out of it… I seemed to switch into my conscious thoughts rather than the dream as I woke up, but it was still cool.
One interesting thing is I felt like real time would have been equal to dream time and was afraid I slept too long - logical mind - but time in the dream was much longer.
Dude, that was amazing! Thank you! 😎🙏🏼
Wow what nice experiences you had, even on the first day this is pretty crazy, lucid dreams are pretty cool, just dedicate yourself and believe that you can have my congratulations!
What if when you dialed the phone and someone answered. It was you (asleep) reminding your dream self that you were lucid dreaming . . .
What if, when you got to the phone and it started to ring and it was someone on the other line saying, "We've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty."

@@arthtunp4383 Hey thanks. Yeah, I tried again for a few nights and nothing. But it was cool and I think I was able to send a message of love and support to someone who needed it once I controlled myself in the 2nd dream. Maybe that was the whole purpose of this experience, to connect with this person and share, and then it was done. And that’s ok.
I've been trying to have lucid dreams for about 4 months it took a long time for me to have the first one after that I had 3 more in a quick period but I made mistakes and keep making mistakes on this journey, mainly Regarding sleep quality and having a goal of what to do in those dreams. Turns out I had little awareness in dreams and that was a little annoying
Yeah takes a good amount of practice, keep going, eventually it made me look forward to sleep because I was excited to have dreams where I could take control
Could you make a video in a year to share your best lucid dreams
Would love listen to those stories
I’ve only had a handful of these lucid dreams. They are amazing!

Great video, the editing is amazing! I have had lucid dreams many times somehow but never intentionally. It was great to know that one can have them on command. So many possibilities!
Thanks for watching
Lucid dreaming really is life-changing! The lucid dreams themselves are transformative in many cases. Also the practices, especially with awareness, make one a better, more intuitive and more present human being. For a wealth of information, tutorials and guidance, check out the Lucid Dream Portal channel here for great info, no BS. It is the best source for learning how to lucid dream.
I had my first lucid dream after two days of watching the previous video :D
Please more lucid dreams videos and tips! Thank youuu 💫🙌🏼
I'm glad I stumbled on this video. I've been controlling my dreams for years as well as using them to get information I need in my personal life. I taught myself to fly intentionally over the last 10 years and also I enjoy levitating things in my dreams. I had no idea this was a technique or name for it. Thanks for the awesome video!!
I don't wake up at night, I sleep! Writing dreams can only be done in the morning for me, maybe I wake up once in a while but it is VERY rare.
Although, I had many lucid dreams in my life; surely I can't count them.
You inspired me to start doing it more seriously.
I'm wondering how it could be if I actually put effort into it.
Cool video! Nice of you to share your experience!
So glad you made a follow up video from the last one!
It worked for me on the first night, after watching your videos! Thank you so much, this is a beautiful gift. ❤
This stuff really works - I've literally had a lucid dream on my second night of trying
When I was about 6/7 yrs old, I figured out that by repeating "it's a dream" over & over in my head while trying to fall asleep & after a few days it worked & I was controlling my dreams. It eventually got harder the older I got.
My goal is actually weird. I want to recreate a dream I had years ago. The dream was a football (european football) match, but the players and team staff were characters from anime and videogames I used to play. I don't remember all characters but some of them were:
- Goalkeepers: Slenderman and Cho'gath, from LOL;
- Wingers: Altair and Ezio from assassin's creed; Yasuo, from LOL, and Corvo Attano, from dishonored; (Altair and Yasuo were in one team, Ezio and Corvo in the other)
- Strikers: Goku and Vegeta (opposing teams, obviously)
- Coaches: L and Light, from death Note.
I want to recreate this dream, to see the remaining players and staff, and to see who wins.
This is the only correct reason for wanting to lucid dream
very uniquely insightful! thankyou for this !!
Thanks for watching!
Finally, the video is here!!
Here we go
I'm new to lucid dreaming and well I'm now learning a lot about it and I've been trying to lucid dream for a while and a couple of times I was aware of my dreams, but still couldn't control them because it was my first time! Now my research finished with your vidoes abt the topic and now I will try controlling my dreams and achieve my goal which is to create and entire small world where my problems don't exist and where all my imaginary friends are, so we can go to adventures or something and be happy and do all the things a normal child does
Ok, I just wanna vent my lucid dreaming problems for a sec to see if anyone can relate.
Whenever I try to keep a dream journal, I always end up ditching it after a few weeks bc I start remembering my dreams too much, to the point that it takes me 30 min to write it all down. But if I don't write it all down then I fear I might forget it. Also, I rarely ever have dreams where I'm fully immersed in the dream, especially as of lately. I end up with half lucid and 3rd person dreams where I feel like I'm both a person in the dream and like I'm watching the dream take place from above at the same time, and my feelings can influence what happens in the dream, but I can never truly get to a state of lucidness. It's just so frustrating.
I do this unintentionally for years 😂. Now I know how to intentionally do lucid dreaming thanks to your video 👍
I had a lucid dream today❤❤❤ thank u so much
You videos are really helpful
Great video! Love your color grading!
He Zach, thank you very much for creating this video! Super awesome to hear you about lucid dreaming and hear the tips. Also awesome to discover that wrote the whole script down in a blog post. Gone try that 30 day challenge you described in an other video and see where it gets me. Thanks
I have this one recurring dream where I'm at school with no shoes on and don't notice until later in the day. I've had this dream so many times that as soon as I notice that my shoes are off, I become lucid. I remember the last time I had this dream I was walking with my friend in the school's hallway. He asked me, "where are your shoes?" I looked down and immediately became lucid and said, "Ben, I'm dreaming." Soon after I kinda made the school crash down then escaped to Mars, but we don't talk about that...
Have you tried to teach yourself to read something while dreaming? It is possible.
I feel this lucid dreaming without doing anything, I don't know why, just feel that I get way more lucid dreams that anyone, it feels weird, I can sense things happening in real life but I am sleeping, I can think in my dreams, I can think and imagine, then with a jerk or a noise outside, I wake up and my heart is beating like 120 or 140.. and then I fall back asleep.. all I do is, it's a habit me from childhood, I always means always when sleeping I imagine whatever I want, mostly me doing my dream job of owning a big company but keep it not too intense like a war or something, it won't work, something settle and small like sitting in a beach or just keep talking weirdly, it isn't possible to explain it, I remember the first time it happened, it was literally in my appartment, in the basement, with my family, there were cars for sale, insted of cars being parked in their spots, different cars were being sold there, I remember, when my dad said that this car was hus favourite, I was absolutely disgusted (just like in real life), it was a old car, with no windshield, rusted, blue, small, wheels broken and no wheels, I wanted a big car that was nearby, then I remember my mom was is in the car, asking my dad is she was correct on the controls, then it happened, the car was actually a flying car, I got super thrilled when I saw it could fly, I asked my mom and sat to drive it, whe car's controls were 2 big joysticks, I remember somehow I knew moving it, I set the motion, and suddenly the car went high up into the air, basically, my appartment basement was on road level, everything built off, there is a back wall what has a gap like a very big fence , behind is where some people live, I remember flying through the gap at supersonic speed, after reaching the clouds, the can went head first down at speed, at that time, I could really feel the motion of air, like when you are really falling from top, the weird feeling in my stomach, the air hitting my face, I could feel everything, then, instead of those people, the backside area was a farm land with cows, I woke up like inches before I hit the ground, and all this happened years ago, I still remember from that feeling to the dialogues in perfect memory.. (I keep forgetting stuff)..
Awesome man
The best wishes for you and your love ones 🌍💯
Same to you!
Ayee it's you again! I recently saw your 30 day lucid dream video haha
Dream journaling was a sure fire method for me, lucid dream happened like maybe 5 days after max.
I’m going to try this tonight, thank you so much!
More power sir
Gotchu
@@ZachHighley 🙏
I want to thank my younger self for using the W.I.L.D technique. I always fall asleep with an idea in my head, I don't have a time when I am empty minded so when I get to a dream what I was thinking of happens, now I just need to do these things you said about and I should be there in no time lol
Amazing video I really enjoyed how you narrated everything and how you managed to conquer your nightmare man you have an amazing content, keep it up, subscribed 👍❤️🙏.
Lucid dreaming is life changing. Flying is my favorite!
is it really that good , have you used it for anything to get information for real life ?
@@declanballbagius9529 I should but I haven’t. It’s too much fun just to start flying or moving things with my mind etc…
I have the habit of writing down my dreams on my phone or a notebook whenever I have dreams that I consider important, lucid or vivid. That I want to remember, that is.
I know you're not supposed to use your phone because of blue light, but I still use it in general because it's faster and that way it allows me to capture more details before I forget it.
As one of the requisites for this is sleeping properly, I have to say is that this could finally be an actual way to fix my poor sleep habits. Damn.
Also, thank you for the video! Had a really intriguing dream yesterday, I was with a blonde girl, we were talking and in a moment she lays in a couch at my side, and I kiss her. That was nice, but the most interesting part was that at some point I realised I didn't know that girl (don't think I even saw her face, but still I wouldn't know her) even though it felt like we shared a life together, like if we were a couple and way more things had happened in the dream before what I remember. It's hard to explain, it was like I didn't know her, but at the same time I did, cause we were talking so casually! As if the dream was just a small part of a way longer dream, actually.
I know it's kinda dumb but whenever I have these sorts of dreams I'm obsessed, it leaves me wondering if I can figure them out like: Who is this girl? Is her someone I'll know in the future, or is it just a sign from my subconscious? It's like "Dude, I have to know!"
And I don't get wonder this things for no reason. There have been times that I had these short dreams that were like flashes of trivial scenes, that seemed normal but then THEY ENDED UP HAPPENING IN REAL LIFE AFTERWARDS. Feel free to believe me or not, but I'm serious. At the moment it just feels like a dejá vù and I don't give it too much importance, but when I think about it, it's almost scary.
So, lucid dreams could be a way for me to figure out the meaning behind those kinds of dreams. I've been really interested in it ever since I knew about the topic too.
so happy i found ur channel
I had Lucid dreaming a few times without knowing what it was, I told my mom I was conscious in my dream. I didn’t do anything with them except for one. I have sensitive feet, I don’t go barefoot. I was dreaming, I was on the gravel road in front of a barn and I looked down and saw myself barefoot. I said, I must be dreaming, because I wouldn’t be able to do this for real if I was awake. I saw a figure of a man next to me, I heard him more then saw him, he asked where I was going, I said, for a walk, I’m going to enjoy this walk barefoot. He joined me on my walk. Then I woke up. I haven’t did any Lucid dreaming since. I’m going to try these techniques. It I can Lucid dream, I want to meet my highest true form and have a conversation with them and write them down. From there I don’t know. I will also dream of an happenings and I will say oh I remember this, and I will go through what happens, then it doesn’t go the way it was supposed to happen. That gets frustrated when I’m trying to redirect it, but it goes off some where else. My bladder usually has me looking for a bathroom in my dreams and wakes me from 2 to 3 times a night and sometimes after 4 hrs asleep. Thank you for your videos.
Great video thank you I love lucid dreaming
I now realize I had lucid dreams as a kid before I knew what it was. I just imagined what I wanted to dream and then just began to dream it and manipulated the dream as I wanted. But growing up, I lost it.
Now I look forward to doing it again.
I am watching your videos from a such a long time. I really wanna apriciate you for this experiment.
It's awesome - sometime I do feel after I wake up like- am I dreaming.
Just few days before.
Before these I use to sleep about 6 hr. But now 7hr and it's make many experiences ❤️
Thank you for this! Always an inspiration .
Ive only recently started practicing lucid dreaming, and i find that my main issues with these types of things is i tend to overthink things in the night and dont have the discipline to get myself to properly prepare in the day. Any advice?
While a majority of people can enjoy lucid dreaming, there are caveats with lucid dreaming that sometimes are overlooked. From the order of least to most important.
1. Some of the people who lucid dream that I've spoken with have stated disappointment that the quality of their dreams seems to take on a more mundane character over time after frequent lucid episodes. One friend said his dreams became more like VR chatroom with standard props and characters. His sleep was "boring" and not emotionally restorative. Not true of everyone obviously but something to bear in mind. Not every dream needs to be a "lucid" one.
2. It takes time to control elements of the dream. As Zach has mentioned, being aware does not mean you can control it. It is sometimes hard to disengage real world physics even knowing it's a dream. Friends have reported disappointment that they didn't have god-like powers.
3. Have an external alarm. One acquaintance did not believe in alarm clocks. He was actually pretty good at telling himself to wake up at a certain time. He had a lucid dream that turned into a nightmare and felt like he couldn't wake himself up out of his lucid dream. His partner nudged him and he woke up. He then became afraid of going to sleep and "being trapped in his nightmare". When you believe you should be in control but you feel you're not, it can be frightening.
4. Individuals on meds for sleep disorders should be cautious. Ambien and other Z-drugs are notorious for somnambulistic behaviors (sleep eating, sleep driving, etc.). Some medications also block dreams or affect the sleep cycle making it hard to impossible to have a lucid dream.
5. While cataplexy is relatively uncommon, waking up and being unable to move can be frightening. One female friend has reported it after lucid dreaming. We had discussed similarities of astral projection and lucid dreams. I have since heard a couple others mention it. The situation they mentioned was having a nightmare, realizing it and then waking unable to move. They were not experimenting with lucid dreams but the liminal transition of awareness to wakefulness was there.
6. Individuals who have or are being treated for mental health need to alert/involve their psychiatrist or therapist before beginning. Schizophrenia spectrum disorders can often mimic lucid dreaming states. This disorder makes reality testing difficult in the first place. Individuals with Dissociative disorders need to avoid lucid dreaming as it can trigger alters (alternate personalities). One individual with DID told me he went to bed and "woke up" two months later in a different town with a different job and no idea what happened. He remembered parts of it but it "felt like a dream". Individuals with PTSD typically have very vivid dreams/nightmares. Lucid dreaming exercises could intensify these. Under guidance of a therapist, this can be healing. Without supervision, it could trigger or intensify symptoms.
Thank you for the great info!
One of the most afraid I’ve ever been was what I would call ‘inception syndrome’. I woke up from a lucid dream and instantly had an anxiety attack that I was not actually awake and that my reality checks just weren’t reliable.
Yes it's definitely possible to induce lucid dreaming! I did it for years having somehow learned how to back when i was a teenager. I never read a book on it... i just i guess figured it out. But ever since I developed psoriatic arthritis i dont really dream anymore unfortunately, or at least is extremely rare. i think its cuz i really dont sleep through the night. i constantly wake up tossing and turning. recently i started taking a sleeping pill. it definitely helps me be fully rested but still no dreams yet... that i can remember. It's a bummer.
Hey Zach! Do you still practice lucid dreaming currently? I practiced for awhile but gave up because the excitement of being lucid always wakes me up.
When I first learned about lucid dreaming, I always did reality checks. And then, one night, I was dreaming and I did the reality check with my nose. I was able to breathe trough it... but I was a bit stupid and thought "whatever, it's real anayways". And I did not realise I was dreaming. Now I am trying it again, a few years later, and I really hope that this time, it works, because I was so close once.
Had my 1st lucid dream last Friday, 3/3/23. It was fantastic, I had so much fun with it! Old people in motorcycle jackets were zooming by me on motorcycles with their wheels in the air inside a wide, barely sunlit (from windows) carpeted hallway. I shouted/asked an old man and woman who were they, what were their names, what did they mean?! No answer, so I hung a left down to a wide staircase where a slow moving line was forming. A small hole opened up on the step I was on where a skull face appeared and it grabbed my left leg trying to pull me into the hole. I couldn't get it to release so I mind-manipulated one of the MC jacketed seniors that was way downstairs/outside to fly and tackle the skeleton underneath the stairs. I didn't see it happen, but I made it happen and my leg was free. It ended when I tried to focus too hard at a young (seemed to be Asian?) woman I was standing behind in the line. She had long black hair and I was trying to make out the details of her face while yelling/asking her the same questions I asked the old people. Her face was blurry then got swirly/gray/smoky with the more I kept trying to focus on her face and then the dream was over. I was completely aware I was dreaming the whole time. I wanna do it again so bad, but with a little more less shouty finesse. 😊
Last year I had a lucid dream where I was in my school and the floor was full of water and we had so much fun I laughed and I was so happy and then I kinda realised that I was in a dream and after a few seconds i woke up and had a sleep paralysis, and even tho it was scary, i still like these kind of experiences
Great video, i really liked it.
Glad to hear that!
Hi Zach, great video and wonderful information. Thank you! I would recommend another alternative to Journaling when waking up from the dream is to record the dream with your cellphone, then later on listen to it and write it down cementing your dream on the journal, more of the dream will be coming back to you as you write it down. That has worked for me well, also I have notice by making it a habit using my cellphone, it appears in my dreams and that is my clue that I am dreaming. I know that because I tried to take pictures of my dreamscape and my phone would not work or the apps start jumping out of the phone bringing me into awareness. Great stuff! thank you so much for sharing your amazing experiences. 😀👍
Is the city/water background real? Like props for bringing the chair there
I think we all have lucid dreams but have the time can't remember them ,your subconscious from daytime spilling over to nighttime, I have quiet an adventures imagination so my mind goes off into its own world at sleep time,the more you doing and think in your waking life the more your probably dream about something,I always no when I'm in a dream just have a great time till you wake.
Planning on doing this soon, with a different method though (MILD + WBTB)
I feel like i dont have nightmares like other people. My nightmares are situations where i need to act quickly but im stuck and cant do anything. I found these useful in real life because ive noticed I react quickly without even thinking. For example, a friend was putting gas on a fire and it caught his pants on fire. I instantly rush to him and put the fire out with no thought involved. Also i was really drunk. This isnt the only time this has happened. So i feel because of my dream where im stuck, i reacted so quickly in real life. I thought this was interesting.
Wicked
Zach ur an absolute unit m8
Cheers bruv

i hear 'clarity now' and i immediately picture kramer repeating 'serenity now'.
Every morning I wake up, I go out of my bed, and then find myself again in my bed dreaming that I got out of my bed. It sucks because I feel trapped in my, everytime I go out of bed was just a dream.
That happens to me everyday starting the Covid-19. And then one time, I dream again of going out of bed and it was very real, I was already making my coffee when I realized "oh this a dream, doesn't matter". That's when I discovered lucid dreaming my self, I tried teleporting by closing my eyes and it happened. Every morning, I do lots of experiment in my dream.
The only problem I have, is how to stay longer in a lucid dream?
That first one is actually very common, they're called false awakenings and can be a great way to lucid dream. I often have them when waking up from one. To stay in a dream longer there is a practice called stabilization. Try feeling things around you or go near the most vivid thing you see. Try not to get too excited
Awesome content, but whats more awesome is your colors in your main shot, goddam that good!
I tired to lucid dream a while ago i gave up because i was having a hard time determining reality and dreams since i started to remember all my dreams but i never wrote them down (yes im an idiot)ever since I haven’t been able to not dream only if i am super exhausted the night before i got it back down to only remembering one dream and it fixed my issue but now I’m ready as an adult to try again! Already have a step up with dream recall, wooo hopefully i can this time, this video gave me courage to try again
what you noted about not being able to fly in a dream unill you say it out loud(or something similar to that) is actually a common thing that also happens in the wake world, while it probably isn't smart to talk about the specific thing where this is most common, it is really a interesting thing, it actually goes much further as well, since it shows exactly why in your dream you have trouble doing it even when you are concious unless you do something like that saying to convince yourself.
I can talk about it if you want to,
the thing is this is some kind of next stage beyond just lucid dreaming.
even though most people who can actually do it well are naturally born with tallent for it, so most people don't really learn it later, either they learn it as a child often while playing or such, or they just learn it on instinct.
most of those people however never have someone to train them or train with so most of them have terrible controll and actually that speciffic problem you noted is something they get very strongly often and which often is insanely hard for them to conquer.
but once you can do that thing and also master that fault(so for example if you also are super good in basic lucid dreaming) then a completely new world and next level of things opens to you.
just take the experience you get when lucid dreaming, but then amplify that and kind of do it on command, as well as some much more interesting things that would however say to much already for now.
many people with tallent for it however have trouble with Lucid Dream training, they do sometimes just get lucid dreams, and even more often can do the things they can do in lucid dreams even when a dream isn't completely forced lucid, but reality checks and such typically don't work well for them especially on later age since their dream can actually be more realistic than this world, for example more dimensions and senses are common simple examples of it, also in their normal dreams quite regularly it can actually affect or mimmic their normal senses for example breathing with the nose closed can in some cases for them not work in a dream.
if you(whoever reads this) wants to know more about it I can explain more about it and actually tell about it.
but be WARNED!(decided to add that like that so peolpe don't accidentally skip it)
this is something you should only go into if you want it, even just reading or hearing about it can cause many peoples body to greatly panick causing them to automatically behave and think stupid and bad without actually thinking or wanting to improve.

while I didn't say how it works or what it does and can do and such, here are some things to help you decide if you want it:
people who would want it can be seen as extremely agreeing with or wanting the following things:
1. having real freedom as much as possible, so no need to controll others, no need to follow patterns or rules, just wanting to be able to do whatever you want however you want, or actually whatever you feel like however you feel like, this includes doing things that you don't even know if it is possible and how.
2. not having to rely on physical things or people to have that freedom, for example not needing money at all to do whatever you want(ofcource you can use and have money,( but if your thinking tells you you need and want money to reach your goals over being able to reach the exact same thing without having to rely on things like money and other people, then this probably isn't someting you can handle, unless reading this manages to open you to thinking about the possibilties of not having to rely on standard systems to reach your goals then you might be).
3. you like and want lucid dreaming or similar things just for being able to do it, for freedom, or for something like fun or excitement.
4. don't want to rely to strongly on anything except for yourself(your feeling and feelings of those you trust and feel), and to some slight extend the things and people you care about. here is a nice example of it, you have people who obsess over money and work, and you have people who obsess over not having to rely on money or work at a company or such. a person who would want this thing I talk about would want to be neither of them, so would want to have to obsess or rely on any such things. they don't want to have to rely on it and be stuck in it instead they want to do just whatever they feel like in that moment for however far and in whatever way they feel like it.
also there is a 5th point wich actually isn't part of it, but can be, so it isn't part of people who are capable of handling the actual thing. but this 5th point is for things like humans or similar who might want it to some extend but can't handle the actual freedom(not freedom as in not having or needing to do things(like helpping your friends would be something you need to do typically since you wouldn't want them to get hurt), but freedom as in being able and capable of doing whatever you want without having to look at anything(which also would result in the other version of freedom).
since if you really want the capability and freedom but can't handle the 4 points to well, then as long as you are not a evil person and you do not want to controll or opress others then this still might be interesting for you to know about since there actually still is a method to kind of do it, but in that case it isn't often completely on your own so you would rely on others(untill you get well enough adapted to freedom that you can be free, but don't expect it to be easy, even this method would make you a outcast to humanity, since you will never be able to see the world like a average human living in human society anymore and never be able to think or act like them again, the only way you can do that then is by pretending, quite much like a little child pretending to be someone or something, if you want to be like a normal human after getting there you would just be acting and either experiencing what it would be to be someone else, or just a mental fictional character. humanity also will look much more primitive and their evils will become much more obvious, not everyone can handle that either, since you will see what is wrong while they think it to be perfectly fine, you might even know or see solutions but they won't be able to hear you or will just ignore it, many humans will also react agressive if they start to notice/feel like(so before they are conciously aware) what you can, do and are. this agressiveness can out in many ways like fear, hate, violence, ignorance, etc.
this isn't just like getting some extra time in a lucid dream, this actually is something far greater and further even though once you have reached it you will probably just think you where stupid for seeing it as something different from lucid dreaming. essentially if you master it you have perfect contoll over yourself and perfect understanding and feeling of yourself, and will be dynamic because of that since you can follow your feeling instead of having to rely on a pattern. it also no longer requires things like reality checs, so if you would want to lucid dream you actaully wouldn't need to do reality checks and you wouldn't even need to keep a log or such anymore, while it isn't just lucid dreaming, mastering it also makes you a master of lucid dreaming.
also back to he part where most people would panick even subconciously, (so not only their concious mind but also their subconcious mind would panick, this makes it something harder to open up to than lucid dreaming, since with lucid dreaming only the conciousnes might slightly panick.
it is like following the white rabbit in the matric and deciding to take the red pill to go to reality instead of your olde delusions. sadly for how far I know mastering it isn't as easy as just taking a red pill and following a white rabbit, while it also actually can be more esy than that in some cases when it comes instinctively.
but most people will panick and will even reject the possibility of thinking about it.
they will be so scared that it might actually stick similar like a trauma, but they won't be concious enough to notice it as a trauma and fear/panick response, instead they will be cocky and try to enforce their delusions they made to hide from their fear on others. this is why it is even dangerous to talk about it to most people. showing can in some cases with natural tallents who lack controll actually do wonders while with people who have great contoll but very limited it can still cause them to go insane(had someone who beleived to be into such things and beleived to be good in it actually try to kill me after I accidentally made her see it was all real and not just something I talked about, that person suddenly felt super weak and afreaid because of that and since I was the only one she knew who was far enough into such things she came to the conclusion that if she would kill me all those strange things would be gone because then it would be and stay hidden without someone who is capable of showing it, and then she would go back to feeling super powerfull in that theory, this took a few years, that peron by now has recovered, actually due to time and D&D probably since time allowed her to heal and D&D allowed her to think less in things like digital things and less seeing things as "facts" and such just opening the mind a little to differences. perhaps if you want to prepare for mentally being capable of accepting it you might want to first visualise, pretend, or simulate being many other people/creatures in many different situations and scenarios, including ones where you literally just do whatever you want, but also some where you have to face being much weaker than other thigns so facing weaknes. even though you want to be free instead of weak, facing weakness allows you to not let the idea of it conroll you, it allows you to better controll your fears, since fears are dangerous.
oh and for those who wonder no I am no talking about opening the third eye what people typically talk about this is many levels further, even though in theory if you see the third eye just as a state of energy/concious of the many states the body has(so quite much like how it is used in old meditation and such) then the third eye would also be opened, but I am not talking about that actually something going much further, even though actually your third eye chakra would be open and possibly even furher than just opened as a part/side result/thing of it.
Do you set alarms to wake up during the night to write down dreams? Otherwise I don't get it...
I wake up at 11:00 pm a lot and normally fall asleep around 9-9:30 pm sometimes I fall asleep at 8:00 pm, so I normally get 2 to 3 hours of sleep before going back to sleep, so how would that affect lucid dreaming
One thing is clear: If you already have troubles sleeping, this training is not an option. Just the thought of setting an alarm clock to wake me up when I am finally sleeping horrifies me!
I think i have an important question
How do you guys wake up in the middle of the night after a dream?
Do you set random alarm and hope that before it you will have a dream?
Or maybe you naturally wake up after a dream?
I think its just a natural wake up. I could be wrong but, when you naturally wake and remember a dream, you are on the edge of lucid dreaming. So writing your dreams as soon as you wake up will help you to realize your dreaming without waking up in the moment. I know when i wake up and remember a dream, if i dont consciously think about it i forget it all together after a few minutes. I could be way off base here as i am no expert, but thats how i understand it.
@@frostbittenhosehead7153 thanks!
I watched your other video on this last night. I tried to lucid dream but it didn't happen. I woke up from a dream that had the late Robin Williams in it. I woke up and told myself that if I got back in the dream, I would tell him that he was missed... And I did when I got back in the dream! He just said "I know" with a kind of sad smile.
The ultimate lucid dream is what we call the waking state. In other words, this earthly realm is a lucid dream. Passing away from this realm=waking up.
I noticed a while ago the ability to read numbers in dreams doesn't work. Anything having numbers, like city block street signs, phone numbers on cabs, etc. are blurred or impossible to decipher, perhaps because the subconscious works in images while the conscious is adept at calculation. Might be another good reality check to practice while awake. Thanks!
8:22 I like how we had the same recurring nightmare as children xD, anyone else had these sort of nightmares too ?
I'm coming back here when I can finally lucid dream watch this
Part2 plz😊
7:00 WAIT WAIT WAIT, you got the FILD method wrong! what that does is not "wait, i am dreaming cuz my fingers are moving", it actually just simulates a part of a brain that keeps your brain awake but your body sleeps, which is good for lucid dreaming.
Trying to lucid dream is way too scary for me, although I used to have plenty lucid dreams when I was younger. I remember all my last few lucid dreams, I spent them fucking bitches lol
step 1: sleep properly
Me: ahhh fuck. [wakes up every other hour]
is saying while in your dream "WAKE UP WAKE UP its a nightmare" and you wake up is that an early version of lucid dreaming?
Love this channel. Book recommendation for anyone interested in this subject matter: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from dreams, time travel, death, the afterlife, extraterrestrials, the Vatican Archives, the Renaissance secrets, the Pyramids and Pharaohs, Jesus, Sinai, Hebrew letters…etc. Wild read. Best I’ve had in years.
I was watching this and right when I clicked it I got an ad on how to lucid dream 😭
When I was young I used the love/affection technic (naturally) to stop a recuring nightmare. After a week of the same dream of a killer trying to kill me and other people, when he caught me I said I can help you catch the other and be your friend! Never made the nighmare again cause he was my homie xd
I wonder, is the feeling of falling and jolting yourself back awake one of those WILD feelings? I get that a lot when I try to follow myself into dreaming.
love u zach
When I was a kid I had a nightmare of a scary monster, but I decided to become friends with it, and it became nice.
DUDE!!! First night after watching your video and trying the W.I.L.D technique, it happened. I never been so terrified in my life.
It felt like my body caught fire and I could literally feel gravity pressing down on me. The pitch blackness of having my eyes closed changed to static like on an old TV set and then here's the kicker. There was like a voice and it was the only thing I could hear, it was screaming, but it was so poweful I swore I was getting abducted. I used the two finger technique and had to keep reattempting during the night, because everything it happened. It was to much to handle. Dude isn't playing. It's not for the feint of heart. I had no lucid dream, but now I'm so curious to who I telhe hell was talking to me last night
You had sleep paralysis last night man, never had if myself but heard a lot of stories about it, its when your body is almost asleep so you cant move and around you demons can talk to you and like stand next to your bed. Sleep paralysis is Just a big Error inside your brain
Woah!!! I want to make it clear I was definitely able to move. I was squeezing my pillow because of how terrified I was🤣🤣🤣
I can't say anything about the demons tho
What if you sleep, but rarely dream? Is there a way to simply induce dreaming?
Everyone dreams but not everyone remembers their dreams. Start writing down your dreams as soon as you remember them and your dream recall (memory) will improve and you’ll remember multiple dreams a night
@@ZachHighley when I do dream. I remember them pretty vividly. Oddly enough, most of my dreams, become reality. Say weeks or months go by after a dream. Then all of a sudden, I’m in that moment from my dream, like I dreamt it before it happened, and I can tell what’s about to happen, before it happens. Almost like seeing the future. And I have no clue if others experience this as well. I don’t have dreams of aliens or any type of way out there thoughts like flying with pigs. Mostly pretty normal, down to earth dreams. Thanks for the very quick response btw!
@@blink182stile Dejavu? The same thing happens to me, maybe not entire events but small moments where I feel like I have already experienced/know what's going to happen in the next second. I do have some realistic dreams, but some of those feel terrifyingly so much so that I hope they never happen irl.
@@yesseniarodriguez6248 I usually think of something, and a few months later, that thing happened.
But I don't get it, when am I supposed to wake up and write my dreams and go back to sleep??
Cool video dude,
I can see your passion and love towards Lucid Dreaming.
I'm Lucid dreaming today of a Spiderman secret lab to create all my gadgets into Reality.
Keep spreading awareness

I'm usually the type to remember dreams and nightmares. When I usually realise I'm in a dream, I close my eyes and run straight into the window haha.
Thank you 🌻❤
I've been lucid dreaming since I was around 4. I don't write down my dreams or do reality checks or anything. Usually lucid dreams just happen on their own but I made up a way to make myself lucid dream (I guess it would be the wild method? I've never heard of It until now) I lay down on my back and pay attention to the squiggles when you close your eyes. I try not to think about anything and make sure to stay completely still. It usually takes 15 minutes max before I'm in a lucid dream. I also do this if I'm just having trouble falling asleep
This is very interesting, might try this next time!
@@magnusfinneide5259 if you do, tell me how it goes lol
I thought about imagining a pendulum going left and right while moving my index and midle fingers in rhytm
Is it the same thing having sleep paralysis and what you described as a nightmare and flashing lights fast heart beats etc?
Oooohhhh, so THATS why I heard that bang!! I do not and had not ever tried lucid dreaming but one night several months ago I heard an extremely LOUD bang that woke me up and scared the crap out of me. Almost as if someone had fired a gunshot But, it was not a gunshot. I intuitively knew it had happened inside my mind while I was asleep but I never learned why. NOW I know!!
Idk of this is right or not but if I don’t lucid dream but have a usual one I write down what o can remember in the morning so I can try picture it the next night. Can somebody tell me if I’m wasting my time?

2. When going to sleep, repeat "When I fall back asleep, I will realize Im dreaming".
3. Picture yourself becoming Lucid in your previous dream.
WBTB
1. Set an alarm fo 4-5 hours after you sleep.
2. Wake up, get out of bed and into chair, and do something for 10 minutes (NOT electronics)
3. Then, fall back asleep and picture yourself becoming Lucid while doing so.
WILD:
1. When falling asleep, fall asleep consciously.
2. Now, don't be afraid if weird things happen, as its all happens every night; just unconsciously.
FILD:
1. Move pointer and middle finger really slowly, so slowly they may not be moving but they appear to be in your head.
