Why Do People Fail at Lucid Dreaming? 

JizEdwards

OMG a new videooo! Giz i do WBTB + MILD every night, not a LD yet, but i have a lot of dreams where i dream that i'm lucid, in one i even said "i know i'm dreaming" in the dream, but i wasn't lucid, i guess it was my sleeping mind that said it. Anyway, in a week the choline bitartrate i ordered should arrive and i hope i achieve lucidity with that c:

Welcome back Mr. Edwards. I've been expecting you.

Band sounds great

yaaaaay, your back :D. hope you're well bro, always good to see your new vids :D

You're not dead!!!

your channel has doubled in subscribers last time i check so good for you. I've been getting really close to lucid dreaming now, the problem is every time i realize I'm dreaming i get to lazy to do anything about it in my dream so i just continue on dreaming like normal. and other times i wake up shortly after realizing i am dreaming.

welcome back buddy, keep making vidz

Thanks for coming back giz! Keep the videos coming!

YOU ARE BACKKK :DDDDD

I thought you were gone forever... Very informitive video by the way!

You're right. I've had several lucid dreams I can totally recall in the past few weeks after trying for years with only having one lucid dream in all that time. I have a better sleeping pattern now that I finished school. Also, (my dream journal is an audio recorder) I only record dreams occasionally (if I consider them interesting and worth remembering them later) but don't put me under that stress of ABSOLUTELY HAVING to lucid dream. I just enjoy dreaming now and if a lucid dream comes to my experience I'm glad, that's it :)

Nice to see again Giz :) I hope your problems has been solved and you are on the right track again. This video kind off relates to me, because I had a few LDS, but I keep failing to maintain it as a lucid one, or even maintain the dream and not crashing it down. I got many advices from many good and smart people that its all in the mind and I have to believe and be relax that it wont happen the next time (I know btw the rubbing hands, touching surrondings stuff from your videos). So anyway I hope you keep doing this great videos and I would start lucid dreaming with full awareness, you helped me alot during this time! Good luck.

Glad to see you back! Hope you have gotten back on track with everything.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh~! YOU'RE BACK. At last you have returned, Mr. Edwards! Your fans have been awaiting you. And we do hope to be seeing you again soon!

GIZ WE LOVE YOU

Glad you're back! :D

Just thinking of the time I watched a ton of your videos on lucid dreaming in one sitting before bed and I tried it for the next few days. Got to the sleep paralysis part but the closest I possibly got was literally feeling like my feet were floating- my whole body except for my head and I felt like I was laying at a 90 degree angle, literally remember thinking "holy * oh my god" and feeling nauseated but I blacked out afterwards, I just don't remember at all. And now weeks later, I woke up a bit earlier than I would have liked to so I slept two more hours but not before scrolling through my phone(twitter) and creeping on the accounts of some famous singers and believe it or not I don't know how but I feel like I had that 4th variation of a dream. By making conscious decisions, things I know I would have done and that recalling a memory thing it was a bit crazy and I don't usually remember dreams but apparently it was worth remembering considering it had one of my favorite singers in it. But it was quite nice and I'm going to try again tonight. Love the beard by the way, and thank you for the videos!

Welcome back man!

WHAT A COINCIDENCE I HAD A LUCID DREAM TODAY AND WAS WATCHING UR OLD VIDEOS

if a 15 yr old can lucid dream everyone can xd....

Does anybody else have a moment when they realize that they r in a dream but u cant do anything about it. Like u think "i must be dreaming. Then oh wait i am." But u cant really engage in the dream so u continue whatever ur doing

Guess who's back, back again, Giz is back, tell your friend.

Giz I sent you an message on your channel which you never read, it's only an appreciation of your videos so don't worry, but i mentioned how I hope you make another video when you can, and you have, so you sir are forgiven and thank you!

This is great to hear since I've been trying again this past week with still very little results. Maybe this will help

I really missed you, man!

Finally you are back!!!!

you made me start lucid dreaming more than usual.

Good your back Giz! Can you please do a SSILD turorial? I heard this technique has a very high succes rate.

Finally a video

Welcome Back!

Giz! My god we've missed you hope your settled now and your vids are more consitant, was just wondering if you would make a twitter page, I feel its more accessible and we could maybe get info easier?

Welcome back

Yay! Your back!!!!

the song makes for perfect outro music

Yaaay you're back!!! :D

Loved the ending!

Yay you're back!!! :) :D

I love you edwards

"Kill me. Just kill me now, I don't care about life."

Thanks Giz for recommending a nice new group :) You haven't thought about offering to add bit of your throatsinging into the mix? :P

OMG the Spanish Inquisition!! Those guys are hilarious!! XD

Lucis dreaming went fine for me till i got depression..now i cant do it :( But i will be always trying

Is there a reason that I can only recognize my dream when it's a nightmare ? And then I only get concious enough to think as it's not real and that I want to wake up and so I wake up. Why I can only get lucid in my nightmare ? Any Idea ?

YES A NEW VIDEO I LOVE U

is there any way to get only good dreams like you wake up smiling or laughing because of such a good dream

Hey giz I am a big fan and I read the field guide to lucid dreaming and the book is really good I like how the put little compass in every few pages to ask your self if your dreaming anyways I want to ask you to do a video well if you want but I want to ask you do you think lucid dreams and video games future technology can come together and make full virtual reality and again I am a big fan

I didn't even recognize you till the video started. the mini picture made you look completely different. lol Must be the facial hair :P

NO BODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION !!! dun dun dun

Welcome bacck :D

GIZ is not dead he is surely alive!

Hey, you're back! And what about reecejones?

GIZ!

finally a new video!!!

Heyy, have you ever tried to move your wake body while lucid dreaming?? I know that you're paralysed when in rem but sleepwalkers do it.. haven't done much research about it and you're the only one I can think of asking. I've had some lucid dreams before and now I'm taking it full on like you said although I do have very good dream recall today I could remember four different dreams I had last night and I can also remember dreams from a few nights back and in between.. anyways went on a ramble there :) keep the videos up, found them amusing and illuminating.

Omg i just love your videos keep it Going ;)

And also, do you watch The walking dead? I experience really a lot of zombie apocalypse dreams and I think theyre awesome.

i have a few questions: first of you have a video explaining that 1 second of dreeming = 1 seconds or real time, but that cannot be true, i have had dreams during school when i know that i couldnt have been asleep for more than 20 minutes which seem to last atleast 5-6 hours. ive had my experiances with being stuck in a dream and more recenaly being trapped in my own body (sleep paralisys). i think maybe lucid dreaming is 1:1, but maybe regular dreaming or deep sleep dreeming is slower

You said you can only dream about faces that you've seen What about faces that you've drawn? Cause most of the faces I draw are ones that I make up Even though they're simple lines on a paper.. it still is an image of a face So I don't understand why you can't dream about faces you've never seen When in drawing I create ones I've never seen before So can't you create the same images in your dreams?

Hey. I just had my first lucid dream , I think. The thing is I thought I was astral projecting not dreaming. I've been trying to astral project lately so that's the only thing I've been thinking of so as soon as I noticed something abnormal in my dream I wanted to check myself in a mirror and then saw my weird face . Does it still count as a lucid dream since I became aware that I was no longer in the real world even though I thought It was an AP?

I've done it before like when I was dreaming I realized I was lucid dreaming and could control it but when as soon as I realized I woke up..?

I missed you so much :D

Urgh.. I have a good sleeping pattern. I dislike videos when people assume you have bad sleeping habits, eating habits, or lack of exercise and so on. What about those of us who are eating healthy sleeping on time and not overly stressed.

its been exactly 4 months and still no luck

Love the video

I tried lucid dreaming last night but the second i became aware i woke up in SP. How can i stay in my dream?

GIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only sleep 5 - 6 hours a night and I always lucid dream and full of energy when I wake up....8 hours isn't a thing is it?

i had a dream about having a lucid dream i dont know if its lucid im confused

The link in the description box to see the band isn't working.

Hi buddy,have you heard from reece or deleah because they havent been on here for ages.tell em matywaldy says hi if you make contact with them,nice one

i could use some help with MILD, i always tell myself to remember my dreams just before i go to sleep and even when when i wake up very early in the morning i tell myself that the next dream i have, i will be concsiously aware but the thing is i dont get a lucid dream but a very clear non-lucid one. i think its because i tend to fall asleep before i can thoroughly repeat the phrases, so i was wondering if i should keep my mind awake and let my body fall asleep just like WILD until i do fall asleep? also, if i do a reality check in a non-lucid dream without becoming lucid that obviously means im close right?

Just had a dream that I was lucid dreaming kinda weird

Haha liked the end ;)

Why wud there be a Spanish Inquisition

Also well come back sorry forgot to put that in my firts post

I always dream about my girlfriend in a good way so yeah I fucking love dreaming

why do u remind me so much of Daniel Radcliff?

you wrote your dissertation in 1 sitting?? wtf

Wb

You look like some sort of pyschologist

Is it just me or he looks a lot like Edward Snowden

I had a lucid dream for the first time in a while and wanted to ask a dream character to tell me something random to try to transform into. They said a coyote, and I started to, but I woke up before I could do it sadly.

I go to bed at 11pm. I fall asleep somewhere between 2 and 3am. I wake up around 11am. I don't remember my dreams. HELP!

The fourth point in the intro was so... unexpected...

ohh man I've been trying for weeks and weeks but no fkin luck, and recently i've been having problems remembering dreams after i wake up even tho i know i had around 4-5 dreams that night....kill me pls

My dreams are always random when I do lucid dream and when I dream of one I wish I could go back and continue on dreaming in that same dream. How do I get back into a dream I dreamt before?

And we're back here once again

New to your channel great energy brother

Have a decent sleep pattern. My reaction: NOPE! I can't be bothered!
