Excellent work, Charlie. Super important to practice and integrate. Keep doing what you're doing!!

Amazing lecture! Thank you!

thank you so much for this.

I've become lucid a couple of times in a specific recurring nightmare, but it's been so intense I've never been able to stay in them, it's like I get sucked back into reality. I'll check out your books

This is beautiful.

Great video 👍🏽

I love learning about lucid dreaming so much. After having an amazing (although quite short) lucid dream I had in my first year of high school, phew it was an experience that had me wanting to go back. I realized how powerful dreams were and have been learning about the benefits and possibilities ever since, and at the same time trying for years to reach the same level of lucidity. I keep a dream journal, I do reality checks almost hourly, I own a lucid dreaming mask, and I've tried MILD, FILD, WBTB, and some other techniques that tend to work but I haven't been able to reach FULL lucidity like I did the one time. Hearing you talk about this makes me so excited and in awe of how amazing this "super power" we have is. I never lose motivation to lucid dream. One day I'll be an expert lucid dreamer like Charlie. Thanks for posting!

this was amazing. thank you so much!

I learned to fight as a youngn by dreaming up situations I had to defend myself in. This made grade school a piece of cake. I had batman and the ninja turtles, and maybe a bit of van dam to help with those thoughts. I was 6 to 8 when I started that

at 12:23 he did reality checks, he is good at spotting weird moments

I lucid dream 3 to 5 times Everytime I sleep even when I nap, I fully control my dreams, and I smell, feel, things, I fly, walk thru walls, teleport, and all,(But I watch alot of X-Men movies) and some dreams are so real I don't realize that I'm dreaming til I wake up, and I really get mad when I dream of millions of dollars in front of me then I wake up broke...lol.....but I also have a very photographic memory, I can remember my father license plates number from 25 years ago, I can remember all my service cards- 16 digit numbers, and I can adapt to any situation And I can remain calm no matter what is going on in front of my eyes. Idk if it has something to do with my name, because my new is so close to the word "equanimity,"(which describes me to the T) idk I'm always being told I'm different from the average guy, whatever that is..but I ask my family members and none of them agree that they can control their dreams, and they all looked at me crazy when I told them what I do in my dreams, and my daughter told me twice " dad you was smiling before you woke up, and I was having a dream about a relative that had passed away recently, and in that dream I had to tell my relative that he had passed away because he didn't know he was dead.... I also remember 85% of my dreams, and I also have dreams where I am communicating with a dead ,friend or family member. And they are alive in my dream. But I never have dreams about the deceased that passed from "Suicide" makes me wonder. I have dreams where I literally leave the dimension and visit a 3rd or 4th dimension with weird looking people. Even had dreams of Aliens examining my body and then the aliens just disappeared....(That happen after I watch the movie "Dark Skies") I have had any type of dream that you can think of,(Especially the one where I'm looking at my self sleep or can't wake up but I can hear and see(Sleep paralysis), sometimes I'm afraid to fall back to sleep. I thought I was the only one who goes thru this, and the part where he said it could be mental illness is true...I can wake up from nightmares if I don't like what's going on...lol...I roll my eyes into head and I force my self to wake up, except for that dream where I wake up and jail twice before Im actually awake...." Which is one of my biggest fears, because I would be away from my kids"...I know this is deep, and I hope I can help someone or Science with my story, My biggest question is "Why do I feel like I lost part of my sense with Reality"? (Maybe it's just comes from our thought process and things we encountered throughout the day). but it's not always fun, some dreams will have me in sweats, heart pounding, and out of breath when I wake up...And last but not least, This has been going on for more than 25 years and I never sleep more than 2hrs at a time...I have a poor sleep pattern....and I've tried meds and I used to drink heavy just to stay asleep longer but woke up feeling yucky.....now I just deal with it.....But I look at things and people different I see outside the box, nothing is really what it seems, And yes Lucid dreaming is true, I wonder how would my brain waves light up if I volunteered for a study..

I started having really lucid dreams after I stopped smoking weed and I’m really addicted to them to the point I seriously don’t want to wake up because they are so real and way better than this harsh reality I live in

Been doing it since as early as I can remember. Almost every night, I can wake up for a piss and fall back asleep into the same dream or nightmare. Fully lucid

Anyone have a lucid dream and in the same go, become tired and allow the dream to take over again- aka losing lucidity?This happens often to me. “Oh, I’m dreaming! Let me try this...” *cant do the thing* “Why can’t I do this?” *slowly gives up and forgets to remember its a dream*

It's a shame the questions weren't repeated. Also, I hope you found that pink writing on a blue background doesn't work on video. Thanks for the talk. 🙏

Up until I was 16 the vast majority of dreams I had, or at least remember were lucid. This is very interesting.

Amazing !

I remember in my dream, this was even after things I can't remember except my class mates and me were going up and elevator and it was D-Day when it opened and people were getting merked everywhere, I somehow went from that to being in a kids house in arizona over xbox and I could feel the sweat heat.

I love to be half awake and feel my body still relaxed

Thank You!

I lucid dream almost every single night. I happen to also be diagnosed with narcolepsy. Would love to have some better insight from you regarding this.

I was looking how to stop lucid dreams, I watched this and remembered 20 yrs ago. I passed threw all my degrees by reading something and dreaming how to take a test. I did this for even something like doing tile work.. went to sleep and do it. However, all my tests for nursing school and anesthesia school I would do the same thing. And I was 2nd to be valedictorian. cross-valedictorian. They said I have a photographic memory. I don’t. If I did I could remember everything. I only remember things in my dreams.

Food has a big impact on sleeping patterns. Food > Heart > brain activity > sleep time?

How can I contact this man? I have so many questions 🙏

Hello, can anyone help me about what he said from 36:35 on. Because I always heard, that you have to stabilize the dream first. I tried this some time now. As soon as I got lucid I said, that I have to talk to my subconscious mind. But instantly My vision fades an short time after it I wake up. Does someone has positive experience with instantly asking the dream stuff without prior stabilization?

i would like to see if people that are lucid could see a Tesseract, i believe the mind itself is in a higher dimention from the body. when you die your conciousness in a permenent personal lucid dream style dimention, no concept of time. its interesting to me to wonder what a deaf , blind child locked away that has never seen anything would actually see in a dream, what i mean is we recreate our world around us but what if you havent experienced anything but still dreamed what would you create?

On preparing for dying. I believe that a OBE & NDE's are basically the same, as one is asleep and the other not actually 100% dead. I also believe that both experiencers enter the same place when their consciousness leaves the body..namely the astral realm. A place of illusion. What you believe you will find when you die, you will find. So in this place of illusion you may find what you believe you will find as in religious traditions. If you believe in angels and daemons, this is what your mind creates..depending on if you believe you have done good or bad in the physical life you have lived. If you believe you will meet loved ones, then you will be met by loved ones etc. Am I right ? I don't know. It is only a theory. I have experienced OBE's and was sent back, kicked out, as I like to say..the tunnel at near death.

I actually try to induce 'nightmares' - I lucid dream 5-7 nights a week and I find 'nightmare' style dreams to be enormously entertaining.

If you haven’t watched WAKING LIFE, it’s a must.

43:12 -I’d like to see this documented

I've been lucid dreaming every day for the past 6 years and need it to stop. I wake up feeling so exhausted! Just last night, I had a dream I was wrestling so many people. I exerted so much strength in the dreams, that I woke up feeling like i had worked out for many hours! My muscles ache, back, shoulders and legs are in pain and have been for the last 2 hours. I need someone to study my brain asap!

I was in one of the warsaw uprisings and there was tons of ruble in the streets and I had a german helmet with the polish flag and the rubble was so high in the street it was natural cover, I was in the middle of the street but covered and I shot my gun and went right I don't recall everything tho, I have alot of war dreams.

Charlie, are you by any chance related to Mike Morley?

I was in stalingrad and got shoved down while fighting for this room and while on the ground, I pulled up my PPSH41 and mowed the dude down and kept going

Yeah I got bit by a shark😂💀 turns out I can reset my dreams and change the outcome of events that occurred earlier. I would definitely consider my self a professional sleeper😂💀

Can you turn your sleep paralysis in to a lucid dream? I have had about 10 lucid dreams and people who haven't experienced one will never understand how magical it is like I said I've had about 10 lucid dreams but I get sleep paralysis several times a week and the two things can't be more different in the enjoyable department sleep paralysis are the scariest episode's pure terror for me so if there is a any way to use it to bring on a lucid dream would be great. People don't realise how magical lucid dreaming is but it's very difficult to enter one my first few lasted seconds for some reason the first thing I did every time I entered one I would instantly fly straight up and my heart would speed up and wake me up but by the fourth time I remembered so flew really slow thinking about Myself sleeping in bed so don't raise my heart rate to quickly and I've now flown all the way in to space and looked back at earth, the feeling when you become aware in your dream is a feeling that you won't get from anything else it's fantastic.

If 2 people lucid dream about going to the same place, unaware of each other, can they meet in the dream? (is there a universal subconscious/conscious connection in the dreamworld?)

I remember when I was dreaming I was getting off a zipline into a Forest and couldn't decide which gun to take with me on the mission and it was a po8 and I think an m1 garand took the garand and walk abit decided to go back and took the pistol instead and I still remember what happened and it's way to complicated to explain except world way 2 US special forces bs.

we are not the top predators because of this though (because of dreaming), non-human animals do experience nightmares as well. New discoveries have shown that natural selection is about the animals able to live in the best balance with other species not the fittest.

Nikola Tesla said that he worked out problems on his projects where he got the answers while he was sleeping.

26:27 LOL

I smoked a Blunt with my uncle who committed suicide, I didn't realize until I woke up.

Wow! Im today years old when i learned that what I call a talent has actually has a name-- Lucid dreaming. Ive had countless lucid dreams, but the earliest I can remember was i was around 5 years old. Numerous times I flew over the neighborhood looking down like a drone shot. I also had countless times when I gathered the toys in my dreams and put them in a bag and try to bring them home when I wake up.... ive had so many, even having sex with celebrities 😂

hmmm... why does he sound like to lucid dream you have to be professionally trained?

I'm sorry to say but I don't care how long this guy's been doing it cuz I've been lucid dreaming a very long time myself and it's not all you. In fact you can meet Lee tell the difference between things that are you and things that aren't. I'll admit that most normal dreams happen inside your own mind even Lucid ones but there are ways to get outside your mind that our juices real. And there is an astral plane. That is where the mental playing interact with the physical when basically it's how our mind is able to drive our bodies. The brains is just an antenna or receiver. I've been out of my body so many times I can't count and I use lucid dreaming to achieve this in the first place but I could do it from Full Consciousness now. And other entities that you meet in your dreams might not necessarily be figments of take me to Beyond mind either Azan it's always dead relatives that would kick off my lucid dreaming in the past anything that's not of my own creation. That's if I'm not automatically Lucid in my dream anyways but usually I have at least one or two periods of lucid dreaming per night

I guess acting like cheap comedian and saying "fuck" makes most of the people happy and they pretend they understand the lecture.
