Tipharot Haha lmao

Tipharot who is that 1%?

*_in your dreams_*

JosephTheGhost Some people have this problem.Either you’re not trying hard enough,or your subconscious is an ass to everybody and a massive troll

JosephTheGhost YOU DON’T BELIEVE

Ikr

Do reality checks.

Same

I do realize when im dreaming but then i think of like a shotgun and shit never appears xdd

Kent Britton same!! So annoying

I don’t remember my dreams, started a dream journal 2 days ago But it ses on both pages ”i don’t remember” 😂

Yeah! I think it may be because I do reality checks when I'm bored or not really doing anything special, but don't remember to do them when there's exciting, intense or unusual stuff happening. Which is exactly what dreams are like.

If you smoke weed that’s a big reason

Same

MrBloober2000 thanks

You watched that video, how to lucid dream, just watched 5 minutes ago.

Thanks

I have medication that actually gives me more vivid dreams 😂

@@cwireviews3503 name of the med?😂

XDD

This shit trippy

Aww. :( But how come my sister can lucid dream?? Maybe he just made it harder?

Kawaii Noodles- it’s a joke, don’t worry!!!

Lilly Poole 😂 lol I know I was also joking 🙃

omg same thing happened to me lmaoooo

I’ve done that. And then had a false awakening but I did a reality check so yeah.

Inception?

One time I was doing reality checks so much I did it in my dream but my finder didn’t go threw my hand and I woke so mad 😂

@@whoswho2016 Year late, but this is because “finger through hand” is a horrible reality check that doesn’t really work. Instead, pinch your nose shut and try to breath through it; you can in a dream.

Can you pls update when it happens?

Shameless Studios Yes, I definitely will! :)

Friteusen Fritz I want to hear too.

Me too

Friteusen Fritz success!

SAME HERE. BUT THEN I COULDN'T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING. IT WAS LIKE I WAS ALMOST AWARE BUT THEN WASNT.

@@nootdreamnoot1684 yeah same here :/

Same

LMAO SAME

Same lol. Im so obsessed with lucid dreaming that I dream about having a lucid dream

Ive been trying to lucid dream for weeks. I have to ask what's it like in a lucid dream?

@@mouseburger4183 i tried 1 day didnt work i wanna do this so bad

@@rodex122 keep trying you can get it

It's because of daylight which makes you feel a lot safer

Your lucky instead of lucid dreaming I go into sleep paralysis

I don't know the answer to that but that happens to me a lot like something obviously unreal happens in my dream and I recognize it as such but I can't take control of my dream and then it just goes on and I lose awareness.

same at times i have dreams i know it’s a dream but i did not take control , i just go with the flow to not ruin the dream.

for me i never take control i just went with the flow because i’m afraid my boring personality will just ruin the whole thing

@@BlueBird1994_ same i knew it’s a dream but i just somehow gone with the flow of the dream

You don't yet have the mindpower to do stuff

R e y its whatever works for you😉

Clarissa Jackson When do you usually go to sleep?

MalankaPrusse round 8 or 9 pm then sleep til 12 or 1 something in the morning til 5 or 6 am

Well that was an easy way out of sleep paralysis... Cause normally you would have gotten it.

Dough Boy 😂😂😂

Omega lol

you need some serious help bro

Mortal Beats I guess I do huh...

Mortal Beats

omfg HAHA

The power of the banana compels you

Elliot Nyberg ugh sameee. Like I always just think it’s real life. Legit I had a dream where in my dream I was like “I should go to bed now to lucid dream”

ADHD is not the problem I think cuz I’m dealing with the same thing :(. Like I can dream about really weird shit and still not realise that I’m dreaming. Dreaming is like a movie to me, I can’t control it

@@pearl5647 happened to me as well.

Elliot Nyberg yeah... I’m like oh, floating puppies? So normal. XD

das completely normal try doing more reality checks the more you question reality irl the more likely you are to question reality in da dreem

Did you create the 4th Reich?

you are the best, man. I love you

Right same

same with me

Your getting closer than me. I'm stuck at only rembering all my dreams I'm gonna try mild every night from now on. Till I have a lucid dream.

@@mouseburger4183 i rarely see dreams or just dont remember anything how can i fix that?

@@rodex122 dream journals help alot if you rembera anything from a dream write it down. If you don't just say you dont remember it will help train your brain to remember

so am i, i have been trying get a lucid dream over half a year! and see no progres at all.... im realy trying be into it all day long . i think not every one can do this....

Everyone can Lucid dream, it is not special. You just have to 'practice' A LOT. For someone it comes naturally, but for me i have to practice etc... Stay patient!

TOG have you succeedet yet its been 2 years lol

xxxtentacle fanboy11yrs 3 years

It gets easier with time - while many people will have had a lot more in that time, at least the hardest part (getting the first one) is out of the way!

Good luck!

Tipharot thank you!

IJust Record zz🤣🤣

In these situations where someone has struggled to get lucid, but HAS been lucid before, I usually suggest going back to what worked. In the case of your previous lucid dream, it sounds less like MILD, and more like a dream induced lucid dream caused simply by you understanding that you can in fact control your dreams. What you described is actually how many people get their first lucid dreams. If you watch peoples first lucid dreaming stories on RU-vid, it's a reoccurring theme: Someone was having nightmares as a kid, they told their parents, and their parents told them to realise it's just a dream in future, or to do something about it in the nightmare. Lo and behold, it works and they become in control when they next have a nightmare. So perhaps you can focus on this. Take some time to recall that lucid dream you had before, and take a similar approach. Remind yourself that you are in control of your dreams, and that you can do whatever you want in them, and focus on that rather than on the traditional techniques. Sometimes that can be enough to make you realise you're dreaming. Since you have a detailed dream journal, I think that should be another area for you to focus on. Read through your entries and look for any reoccuring themes. You can link this to what I just suggested to you. Tell yourself that any time you encounter any of these themes, you'll know that you're probably dreaming, and you'll be in complete control. You can also add in reality checks to this process if you really want to increase your chances. Next up, don't worry! Sometimes trying *too* hard to lucid dream can have the opposite effect, because you want it so badly that you get in your own way. Take a break for a week or two from trying anything (still maintain your dream journal, but otherwise pay no attention to it), do some things you enjoy during that time. Then come back to it with a fresh mind. This time, rather than taking it so seriously, just say: Hey I'll give it a try, I'll see what happens. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't, I'm not worried about that, I'll just give it a go. When you take a really laid back approach to it, lucidity comes a LOT easier in my experience. Good luck!

Lucid dreaming is really made up of 4 components: Lucidity, Clarity/Stability, Recall, and Control So just learning how to induce a lucid dream is only a small part of the picture. So by using a dream journal you're already improving your lucid dreaming skills without even entering one yet. So don't worry about how quickly or slowly you're progressing with actually inducing one yet - if you're doing things like using a dream journal, performing reality checks, meditating etc, you're already setting the stage so that when you do get lucid you can have longer, more stable, more vivid, and better lucid dreams overall. :) Keep it up!

Tipharot thanks a lot man!

Girly Tomboy try other techniques like DILD that only desires practice under the day.

I know I’m a little late lol. But quick check in. How did it go, did you become lucid ever? If u did, are I still practicing?

infeta weirdly enough your more likly to get lucid in one of those because of the state of your contousness

Omg same!

I don't think this is because you have ADHD. It's normal for a normal dreamer to see weird things and not become lucid. Just do reality checks. If you see yourself in 3rd person very often, then use that as a reality check. And if you can, you could get Lucidesc which is a lucid dreaming supplement.

And ur dreams become extremely vivid of it

Yes the time start my DJ i get more dreams and more detailed

Maybe you have lucid dreamed, but you don't remember.

If you wake up when you're lucid, then that's a good sign. What you need to improve is that you need to reduce your excitement. This is what most beginners face. So don't worry if this happens to you. Once you become lucid, take some breathing exercises before doing thing in your lucid dream. Heck even Tipharot had a similar experience when he was a beginner.

yes

I remembered my first dream when I was 6 I think

@@galaxyskyzziy2438 what was it about?

Same

I've just tried experimenting with the "Sleep as Android" app but it seemed to wake me up during the wrong stages of sleep. The first time the alarm went off I hadn't even fallen asleep yet! The second time it seemed like it was deep sleep that it woke me up in. I intend to experiment further but I think the accelerometer on my cheap phone might just not be that great so I might have to get a new phone first.

Oh yeah, the one I use, Sleep Cycle, uses the microphone instead of the accelerometer. I've found it to be quite effective. I'll still probably try to train myself to wake up without an alarm. Great videos by the way. Subscribed.

Then don't smoke weed? ??????

Sounds like a good idea, I'll add it to my idea list to get around to when I've gone through the others :)

Rekless12/7 that happen when you're about to astral project, dont worry its nothing to be worried about

eren jaeger Check out his video on how to wake up without an alarm. It's really as simple as telling yourself: "I'm going to wake up in 6 hours." it works, too!

Don't worry, it's just a slight glitch in the 2017.07 version. We at brain animations keep working hard to remove this glitch, but it's a deep one. We will hope to patch this glitch in the 2017.08version. Hope you will have better luck!

It'll definitely contribute. If you're using cannabis regularly you more or less have to accept that you won't be able to get lucid as frequently as if you weren't. There are things you can do to minimise that though. Namely: take a couple of days off each week and go the extra mile to practice during those days, try to avoid vaping any before bed, and reduce the amount you vape after midday or so.

Thanks for the advice man. Really appreciate it!

A sooo....?

That's the definition of lucid dreaming
