This part about checking if you're not still asleep is important. A few times I have remembered to write my dreams down, and then after waking up I realized that I haven't written anything at all.
I’m going to be humble and call myself a beginner and say that I’ve been lucid dreaming since 2023 of February. During that time up until December, I was really on and off about lucid dreaming and the information and sources I would use were not the most credible and were really hype and twaddle information. In December 2023 I started watching your videos primarily for my sources due to them being the most credible/entertaining. For my birthday in February, my dad got me your book as one of my request and I have just finished it as of late (really good book by the way). One of the main things I struggle with is that I do get lucid 2 to 4 times a month for the past six months sadly those lucid dreams only last about less than five seconds due to me either waking up or false awakening, and thinking I’m awake. I’m going to ask how long should it take for what I believe to be a shock on the system to wear of, but I feel like the most honest answer for that is it’s different for everybody.
@Robogobo3125 I got a tip a while back that worked for me. Stay calm and get on your hands and knees and feel around. Typically, my brain would kick me out as soon as I went lucid. That allowed me to stay. Was told it solidifies the dream.
Thanks Daniel. My practice has gotten pretty undisciplined recently and this is exactly what I needed. Implementation begins now. Bed time!! Keep up the fantastic work 👍
Thank you so much for your support Steven! It's very easy to slip into less than ideal practice with this subject, so well.done for dusting yourself down and getting back in the game!
Random observation. Walking outside at dusk seems to be a good time to do reality checks because it is seemingly easier to consider the possibility you might be dreaming. It’s like you’re more psychologically susceptible.
Hey, just to feed your algorithm… almost all you videos are targeted to beginners. Have you considered posting any advanced techniques or sharing some of your lucid dream experiences that lead to meaningful changes in your daily life? I’m sure people would love to hear about this.
The podcast is geared towards higher level stuff to some degree but I've thought the same thing. I think he tries to focus members-only stuff on that because his average one-time viewer will want to skip to the advanced stuff and get frustrated for a lack of doing the basics correctly. Maybe I'm wrong
Samuel is right, I try to keep that stuff member only, the times I've released more advanced stuff it negatively impacts the channel so I prefer to release it only to those who I know are genuinely committed to the subject.
Rather ambitious video but I'm all for it. While i don't follow the same lucidity schedule every day beyond a general skeleton, i like videos like this
Almost finished your book and watched most of your videos. Love your work. Had 8 short ( 1 above 5 minutes) lucid dreams this month. (more than double up since last month). All of them are DILDS. WIlds not really working until now... very hard to fall a sleep when staying focus. Keep up the good work!!!!
You’re probably using the WILD technique the hard way, as most people do. This is why falling asleep while using WILD is very difficult for many. The mistake is that people think they need to focus intensely, but this prevents them from falling asleep. You must use less of your focus when doing WILD, or it becomes very challenging.
I wish I had started my journey with these types of videos where I had a layout. To be fair, the start of my journey was still relatively good, but it became confusing on what I should/shouldn't be doing due to terms and information placed in different areas. This is a really great video for beginners! I still feel like a beginner at times although I've been in this journey for almost 3 and a half years. Periods when lucidity is hard to achieve are frustrating and can cause any momentum to stop, but videos like this one are good refreshers to just make things more simple. I know I tend to overcomplicate some of my processes and going back to simple processes not only helps in terms of lucidity, but also in terms of stress. Great video and had to cut the comment short a little bit - headache happening. Even though I'm probably out of beginner territory, these videos aimed at beginners are always a joy to watch!
I often get woken up by physical pain -- back, head, hot flashes, etc. -- and my focus is always on the pain, so I often wipe out the memory of the dream with the consciousness of the pain.
Hey BTW, timestamps in comments hurt videos, could you remove yours? (I generally delete these comments for the health of the channel). But i appreciate your nice comment
I actually learned to control my dreams and I’ve always been a big anime and super hero fan my technique is whenever I go to bed I will remind myself the next time that I dream I’ll be aware I’m in a dream then when I become aware in the dream I look down at my arm and pinch myself and if it doesn’t hurt I realize I’m in a dream and no matter the environment I can develop super hero powers and when I finally became lucid in my dreams it’s so cool I’m still a beginner can only do it maybe once a week but when I go in the dream I can literally fly around or swing like Spider-Man or throw lightning out of my hands and just do crazy stuff and it legitimately feels real like you are doing all those things and I’d recommend learning how to lucid dream because when you do it’s so much fun.
You can google this or reddit it but. I was on lyrica for a while for nerve pain, it opened a universe of lucid dreaming, there were smells, I could feel the wind on my face, it looked better than my eyes can see irl. Man I miss it, yet I've read if your prone to nightmares it's a living hell. Wish I could do it naturally, thats why I'm here coz i know it can be done.
I'm trying to lucid dreams from 3 days but didn't got one, i know it will take time, I've noticed my dream recall became better than before. I'll try again tonight, hope I'll get one!
On the 20th we had a vivid lucid dream after meditating together we fell asleep with ourselves. Multiple of us were both in, and experiencing the dream at the same time. We were so excited we shared what it was on TikTok after awakening but someone said we were lying, probably because the content of the dream was EXTREMELY spiritual and also extremely erotic/sexual simultaneously… We’re proud of ourself for having a lucid dream. We were SHOOK by it.
Not really, but two hours is a more suitable and sustainable timeframe. The goal is to build your prospective memory, not to be reliant on an external cue.
@@LucidDreamPortalI’ve gotten to the point where it’s spontaneous throughout the day. I could be playing a video game, and I will suddenly say to myself “could this be a dream?”😂
Last night I had a dream where i was saying to myself this is a dream and that I have to turn it into a lucid dream but even though I remember saying that stuff the dream was still like on autopilot mode and I didn't do anything. Do I have to do some sort of exercise to improve critical thinking or something because this has happened before.
what are the key internal states to monitor, besides emotional? you mentioned intellectual , which i assume is raw cpu power (mental math etc), anything else?
This is the perfect introduction Video into lucid dreaming. Thank you very much that we have a compact video now what we can show people that might be interested in that topic.;)
I have a question.. i do dream Recall every morning right after Waking Up and Sometimes reality Checks but my dream Recall IS so blurry and i remember so little. Why is that?
It could be the phase of sleep you're waking from, a dietary issue, or a general lack of sleep, certain medications. There are a lot of possible reasons/variables
@@Juliet182 To boost your dream recall, you can write down and draw the last vivid dream you do recall, write down and draw it in as much detail as possible. Try to re-experience the dream to the best of your ability before going to sleep.
how do i start dreaming in the first place? its only every few months that i will remember a dream, and if im lucky i will have 2 or 3 consecutive dreams the next nights
wow... I'd really like to learn this but the problem is. I almost never dream at all so what should I remember??? Is there any way to learn this when you're not dreaming at all??
Details about your sleep, what mood you've woken in (try to be detailed and explain why you feel that way). You want to try to establish why you're not recalling dreams, and this will help.
@@LucidDreamPortal thanks man. You are awesome... I have been using the DJRT for 5 days and I have seen the awesome results. *does your mood also affects your dream quality?
@@rajatpoddar8572 Try journaling the last vivid dream in your life you do recall. Re-experience that vivid dream in as much detail as possible before going to sleep to boost your dream recall.
hi, this video makes 100% sence and i understand every step however my only issue is that im really struggling to remember any dreams atall when i wake up. regular dreams happen once every 2 months ish and they are cool dreams i write so much about them in a dream journel then for a very long time i seem to have no dreams atall. im very intereseted in the dream world and lucid dreaming. any advice?
10-15 minutes before going to sleep, re-imagine the entirety of your day in as much detail as possible. You can even focus on 3-5 focal points from the day, try to re-experience those moments.
I started pinching myself during the day because I watched somewhere to do that. Then to do it in your dream. And I didn't!!! Jn my dream I pinched myself and felt numb. Yhen i eas happy but didn't know what to do in the dream so I started saying "I make thousands of dollars per day😂" was this lucid dreaming?
I had another one of those dreams where I myself didn't have any emotions because I was the camera so i'm just going to do The other character's emotions also my dream was some loony tunes ahh stuff XD
Definitely don't do that. Outsourcing the problem doesn't build the skills you need. Think of other things you don't forget to do during the day, and use the same mindset for reality checks.
