Hey, I really like this video. When I first started learning about lucid dreaming, this was one of the first things I looked into. Since I'm vegan, I looked for alternatives to the first two. Soy is also high in choline, so I make sure to eat tofu and drink soy milk. For omega-3s, I eat a lot of hemp seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
In Germany, nettle soup used to be a perfectly normal recipe. I'm not sure if it stems from times of food scarcity, but I know there are people who still eat it for health reasons. Maybe I should try it! Nettle tea is a staple in my home, but I didn't know it was good for lucid dreaming! The trouble is, it's also an antidiuretic, which is not ideal before going to bed...
of all the plant stuff mentioned, had no idea that the nettle was going well with lucidity! I tried the other herbs already but this is a welcome information that broadens my herbal knowledge, thank You!
Thanks for the video! Just a quick note to those unfamiliar-- the sting in stinging nettle which is caused by formic acid disappears entirely with pretty much any amount of heating/cooking. Fantastic plant. For more information on the plant, search for urtica dioica, its latin name.
i once had a dream where there was a seller that looked like you and was talking something about lucid dreams. i wanted to ask if it was really lucid dreaming portal but you know i just passed. somehow that didn't triggered any reality check lol, i wasnt in mental state for lucid dreaming for that night.
That's the aggravating side of lucid dreaming -- when you wake up and record your dreams, you can't _believe_ how you missed such obvious indications that you're dreaming. When I started doing a dream journal and compiling a list of 'dream signs' for doing lucidity checks, I thought of the 'best' dream signs as 'red flags'... Sure enough, I started seeing all sorts of actual red flags showing up in my dreams, sometimes metaphorical ones, like red t-shirts in my clothes dryer, and sometimes even literal red flags, like road construction traffic-control people, literally waving the flag in front of me -- and dammit, I still didn't recognize them till after I woke up! 😜 We can be really _unconscious_ and clueless in our dreams, even when we _seem_ to be sharp and alert at the time. 😒
When I was at my nans house once she put a ginger root in front of me and told me it was ginger. I was really young and thought she expected to eat it so I bit into it and it was a pretty shocking taste lol
I love a good sprinkle of rosemary on my food, whether it's omelette, or something different! Thanks for the tips! I do agree with what others have said here: Foods for LDing seems so underrated - and healthy nutritions in general (not talking about the potentially harmful trends that are wandering around the internet)! - I'm definitely guilty of that side of bad habits ^^'
Great video. Food is a very underrated topic in regards to dreaming and lucid dreaming imo. I used to eat peanut butter before bed to induce vivid dreams. It definately worked for me most times. Same with a bit of vit b6. I will have to try some of the things you mentioned in this video to help with lucid dreams.
I have used magnesium and l-theanine for some time, without much benefit. I still think there is some very slight benefits, but its hard to say more than placebo for me. I do take melatonin sometimes, which usually gives me more total sleep time. I havent found any supplements to be specifically reliable for lucidity though. The best thing I have found is to eat less overall, and particularly less before or near bed time. I think digestion affects sleep quality a lot. Which is why peanut butter gave me the vivid dreams. Over active digestion while trying to sleep and dream. Choline supplementation sounds like a promising idea though. I appreciate your input.
Hey Daniel great video again . Ive also wanted to say ive fallen back to old habits with smoking weed so i bought your book are you dreaming and try to pick myself up and start becoming lucid again because i keep forgetting almost everything i think reading your book instead of using phone before sleaping wil also help a lot greetings from netherlands!
Last night i had the oddest nightmare i was dreaming about these demons around me but then i snapped and was like "I know im dreaming make me lucid already" mind you i wasnt lucid and like i was just stumping around mad how my dream wouldnt makr me kucid so i jsut said fine and woke myself up but i think thats improve
how many eggs a day are a heatlhy amount and good enough to feel the benefits of the Eggs in order to have more vivid dreams and lucid dreaming? i only eat two, is that enough or should i dose one extra? as for Salmon, thats the only fish i eat and always the same day of the week so i know what i get my body into that day and i know that fish (like salmon) is healthy for the brain. the only downside of eating salmon is something i do wrong wich is making the same dish from the salmon and i always feel bad afterwards (have problems with stomach isues or ibs and acid reflux and Salmon always gives me a flare up, wether thats because i eat too much crap besides it or the salmon itself is too fatty for my stomach, i dont know but i love salmon and i'm glad its actually also beneficial to dreaming so its a motivation to still eat at least once week that Salmon Dish.
That's something I'd recommend establishing with a nutritional website or professional, as it will vary depending on the individual (and because not being a nutritional expert, I'd be unqualified to answer).
health is uh complicated with me but I do love rosemary with some oregano when I make omelettes or almost anything, but I also like hot sauce, does hot sauce effect dreams? anything spicy also effect them? I quite like spicy, and as for things unhealthy I snack on, most common would be pizza, sometimes chips, and often will drink soda with my pizza or if I can afford soda in general, do any of these effect lucid dreaming?
Keeping this a shorter comment today as I'm also not feeling good. My diet isn't the most healthy as I am a very picky eater, but I do like eggs and fish. I particularly really like salmon (as well as cod and rockfish) but I just don't eat them often. Same goes for eggs as I typically don't crave them. I do probably need to speak to a nutritionist on how I could change my diet from just being the same 5-10 foods, but hopefully a healthier diet will mean better sleep! Interesting video! The amount of times you referred to the body as essentially a "meat suit" was really sounding the alarms on the "clone suit" allegations. Perhaps it's time for another essay on why DL is Cosmøtron...
This is a super under-utilized area for things like this. Same goes for other cognitive tasks, people don't realize how big nutrition is for brain performance
I have. Been lucid dreaming for 9 month and so much practices and fascinating experiences iam trying to be aware in my dream besid of moving forward in dream unaware i have some problem when i was aware in my dream first is when i realized that im in dream wanted to change the space of my dream exactly when its unpleasant i forget and loos reality when a layer added and secend important challenge for me its stability of dream space when i wanted to keep forward awarely the whole of space spin and i get deasy that cuased wake up from lucid dreaming can you give suggestion to me?
Guys , can someone tell me what should i do when i close my eyes in a lucid dream ? Everytime i accidently do i wake up . I wasted 2 lucid dreams cuz i uncontrolably closed my eyes .
So i know this is off topic for this video but I watched your video on wilds and it seemed like sleep paralysis isn't needed when everyone else says it is. Some clarification please?
Yep it's not needed at all. It's just most "online experts" (aka people making things up on Reddit) don't understand basic sleep physiology. Sleep paralysis is a parasomnia that they confuse with REM atonia, which is natural and invisible to the average sleeper. They are several videos about this on the channel
It's unnecessary, humans are humans. The only difference is that teens have more available time and generally less responsibility so lucid dreaming is easier for them. So the same rules apply.
Hi. I already watched your video about bulshit LD mistakes such as binaural beats. Dr Andrew Huberman said that 40hz wave increases mind focus. can you expand this topic?
As much as I hate to say it, Huberman really isn't a very reliable source. Think of him more as a media personality who benefits from catchy headlines and oversimplified exaggerations on data. His take on lucid dreaming is equally as patchy and flawed. It's a shame, but this often happens: in order to become widely famous many throw nuance out of the window for sound bites that sound appealing. The research he based the statement on is far from conclusive, had experimental flaws, was small scale, and hasn't been reproduced.
@@LucidDreamPortal A killer sentence from near the beginning of that article: "He cherry-picks weak or irrelevant studies while discarding larger and more robust studies that demonstrate something different."
Guess what ? I eat a lot of eggs, banana, dates, avocado, nuts, thyme, ginger, and sometimes the tingling thing which i don't remember the name cuz im french 😂
Apropos of nothing much, one of my cats is named Ginger. (Not the most unique name, but we didn't name her.Still, it fits, as she is just a bit spicy.) I won't eat her. I promise.
Well, actually it does also contain acetylcholinesterase inhibitors too, so could also be used! Sage and rosemary are the most potent, so they'd be the best choices. Thyme and Parsley have lower levels.
Just finished serving of beef liver (cf ThatDudeCanCook for recipe). Plan to mash MILD tonight. Will see what happens. Felt like I was eating coagulated blood.
