I did step 1, 3, and 4. I got lucid three times last night. I even had the longest lucid dream I ever had. I even did a nose pinch test to make sure I was still alive and I was. I can't believe all the training with you and reading the books have paid off. I'm so thrilled. I get lucid when I want now. I'm going to keep going tell I reach my goal which is an hour long lucid dream.

So pleased to hear it! Keep up the good work and I'm sure the hour long lucid will occur. Remember, time spent in REM is a little hard to predict and normally due to lifestyle factors. You'll want to aim for the final period of REM which is technically the only period likely to produce that length. Also be prepared for how odd that much time in dream space will be, it's quite mind boggling when it occurs!

How long have you been practicing

The 'Artistic Response Test' is actually pretty useful.

I had another LD this morning, after doing at least a small part of the kind of practice you describe here. After awakening in the morning, I thought about the dream I had just had, tried to think about what should have triggered my awareness of it being a dream, and set the intention to realize I was dreaming next time. It worked! Parts of it were a bit less "clear-minded" than is ideal, but parts of it were good... I had a regained-awareness dream. I went outside of the house I found myself in after becoming aware it was a dream. (At first I was doing the "narrating" thing, but fell out of that after a while.) It was daytime, with puffy clouds. I decided to try changing it to night time by sweeping my hand across the sky. It didn't work the first time, but I tried again, and the sky "rotated" like a time-lapse image, stars streaking by in a radial pattern, and then it was night, with the sky full of stars. I saw the moon, and decided to fly to it. The moon seemed to come towards Earth more than I was flying to it, and I had to will it to stay away; I wanted to fly to it, not the reverse! Then things got weird; the moon started looking alternately like a whiffle ball, and a beach ball, etc. Then I "got into orbit" around it, but now it seemed like I and the "moon" and the "Earth" were in a big room, and the two bodies were small models. (something like this happened to me in a previous lucid dream when I orbited the Earth.) I even almost bumped into the back of a tall chair (one I have in my home) as I orbited the moon thing. Then I landed (like my body was the lunar module, with a rocket thruster on my back. There was a kitten on the beach-ball moon, kneading it. I began to be concerned that its claws would puncture the ball. (This is an example of where I was losing lucidity; if I was fully clear on it being a dream, that would not have caused me any concern.)

Brilliant news Carl, and I absolutely love the abstract nature of this dream, especially with the potentially moon destroying Luna kitten!

Your lucid dream sounds just like mine. When I had my first one I flew out of my house and projected to fly over gardens with waterfalls. I even projected to fly over my childhoods first house. Everything was going at my command . The only thing I notice is when I was flying I was flying faster than I wanted. This is where things got out of control: I tried to project Selma Hayek which nothing happened then I started getting nervous because because it didn't work. All of a sudden I was not in control of my lucid dream anymore. Fear was taking over. Theres way more to this story that I shared on this channel already. I should have stayed in control and not let fear dictate my dream.

@@lgnrome Ha. Yeah, that sounds pretty wild. Although I don't know that I would say that "fear" was a big part in mine (until maybe the concern about the kitten puncturing the moon ball, which was more of a desire for a thing not to be damaged than a fear that I might be harmed), it's just that the dream kept doing things I did not consciously intend. But to me, I don't necessarily want "full control" of a dream anyway; I do want it to explore and let it surprise me.

The most frustrating thing is when I'm trying to maintain awareness , go into a non-lucid dream and wake up and obviously immediately regain lucidity. it's like a non-lucidity sandwich and makes no sense.

Thanks! I’ve been wanting to know some more techniques. This will definitely help!

Apologies for the belated comment! Better late than never, though, I suppose! Thank you for the nightmare fuel at 0:20.

You never fail to reinvigorate me about the subject!

Maybe it's time for a nap Carl 🤣

I (currently) have a really bad sleep schedule, falling asleep at around or after midnight. Although I do get some good sleep (7 hours), I'm always tired through the day and I do tend to wake up in the middle of the night often. That being said, I have noticed when I do go to sleep earlier - even 30 minutes earlier - I do tend to recall more dreams and have more "awareness" in them where I do start to question my surroundings in them. I honestly want to try to do some portions of this tonight! I haven't had a lucid in a while and I would like to have one. I would like to adapt all of these steps, however, I am often times a light sleeper. It's definitely something that I can experiment with however and tailor it to suit me! I hope this video reaches a lot of people - lucid dreams are an amazing experience, even if the content of the dream is "mundane". Great video!

That's the type of video I needed, a step-by-step process video. I loved it and I'll definitely try it out. Thank you very much. ❤

Commenting to boost to help this video out!

Another awesome video, just as useful for those of us that have been messing about with lucid dreaming with varied results as it is for beginners! 😊

had my first lucid dream like 2 nights ago. it kinda popped out of nowhere, went to sleep a little past 3 AM, mom woke me up to tell me she was going somewhere. i go back to sleep, next thing i know im getting up off the couch then realize something wasn’t right, and i become lucid. didn’t last last long tho, only around a few seconds since i closed my eyes. weirdest i’ve ever felt in my life, like i was there but my body wasnt

Legend is back!

I have been always doing step 7 when I was a kid, even tho I didn't even know what lucid dreaming is, and I always had lucid dreams, so maybe its time for me to start doing it again

The past few times I’ve done the nose pinching reality check in a dream the world goes dark and I immediately wake up. What’s going on?

This is a common case of assigning reverse causality: It's not the tests that leads to waking up, it's nearing waking up that is giving you the mental clarity to remember to perform the test. Over time this will fix itself as you'll remember earlier in the dream and not just as it's about to end.

Please also make a video on how time work in lucid dreams

Thanks! I’ll make sure to keep this in mind

I haven't been doing any of the lucid dreaming Things besides the reality checks but im already seeing results!! One time i was dreming and i was literally telling Myself to Remember The dream, mid dream!! And another time i did a reality check and my hand looked weird! (like everything In my dreams) and i felt my brain Arguing With itself! It was so weird (And cool)!!

Thanks😮

I've got two dreams about lucid dreams/ semi lucid dreams in past few 2-3 days

Hi Daniel, this is a great video as always! Last night it popped up in my mind that short song you used for the reality check moment during some of your videos few time ago. Do you remember the song name? Thx

Pls note that it might not work on first time it's not guaranteed

For some reason when i sleep sometimes it gets very hard to see like ur eyes are almost closed but ur eyes are open and it gets very dark too (not environment) just in my eyes and sometimes i even get weak

I have lucid dreams consistently when I want to n I’ve had at least 50-80 lucid dreams since 2020 while lucid dreaming off and on. I never get to enjoy them tho cuz in every single one of them, my eyes get heavy n I end up falling asleep in the lucid dream. I’ve tried everything I can think of to stop it but it keeps happening. I’ve tried to not worry about it in the dream, I’ve tried repeating to myself in the dream that it won’t happen, I’ve tried drinking coffee in the dream to make me not tired, I’ve tried dream stabilization techniques but nothing is working. When I fall asleep n wake up in the dream I lose lucidity. Anyone know how I can stop this?

Whenever I try these techniques, I always seem to have very vivid dreams which is good but I never realise that I'm dreaming

You're probably lacking quality daytime practice, this will help: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dYmd2cl8fdzMlpc.html

Hey, do I have to put an alarm on?

Should I start the technique immediately after waking up?

Hey man . Thank you so much. I got a lot of help from you. And last time you suggest me that morphious shit. It worked. I controled my dream. But I mean I never imagined it to be that effective. Thanks. I wanna ask you one thing. When I am sleeping for like 20 mins. I can imagine anything and the view comes on my eyes. I can see the colour and everything of the thing I imagine. I bet you can do it right?

I don't understand why most of my lucid dreams have been in the mid to late afternoon... 😭

So im really invested in the lucid dreaming topic however i have one big issue and that is having any sort of dreams atall which I don’t… any advice?

@LucidDreamPortal

We all have dreams (5 periods of REM each night), the question is if we remember them or not. There are many potential reasons for not remembering them: medications, sleep patterns, diet, sleep disturbances... so it's really hard to help without knowing a little more about your circumstances. But hopefully that will give you a starting point!

Here is an exercise you can try next time you go to sleep to boost dream recall. 30-45 minutes before you go to sleep, re-imagine and re-experience the last vivid dream you do recall. Re-experience the emotions, visuals, narrative, plot, people, etc. Do this "meditation' in as much detail as possible. I discuss exercises to boost dream recall on my channel.

I will start my own metoth called - Fake dream book - I will start write fake dreams every time and read them before sleep

I will correct you 🤣, Before KZread I wrote one of the world's best selling books on lucid dreaming, spent several decades professionally researching and teaching lucid dreaming, started international lucid dreaming day, and worked with the man who first proved lucid dreaming in the lab. I started this KZread channel as a side project to debunk misinformation about lucid dreaming - as well as teach it accurately as the only channel on KZread run by a professional with a long career in lucid dreaming. All these things continue.
