This technique is what I used my entire life before I new that knowing you were in a dream was an actual thing called lucid dreaming but it’s led to some really weird stuff like becoming lucid, waking up from excitement but pulling myself back into something so vivid that it feels like a day dream but it’s beyond what you can fully consciously think of it’s really weird

I'm liking this new series where you take techniques from the internet and analyze them. Really helpful!

Commenting to boost! Since your videos have been popping up on my feed when I'm logged out, hopefully this one gets pushed out far and wide!

This is brilliant. I sometimes try to bear this in mind or remember it when I wish to have a lucid dream: upon a perceived awakening, the first sensations of lying in bed are most likely phantom as opposed to real. I've had great success when I abruptly get out of bed upon an apparent awakening and found that I was still in the dream world. Lucid dreaming ensues. Yes, I am guilty of labelling these experiences as 'DEILDs' in my dream journal. 😅 Thank you for the video 👌❤️

This is a great overview, thank you, Daniel!

It's good to be Yours supporter and get those earlier:D

Oh this explains some of the instances where I actually manage to return to a dream consciously. I suppose it's like having a massive jump start towards sleep with a given WILD practice?

Glad you're enjoying them HC, I'm aiming to cover as many of the classic techniques as possible - I think this kind of analysis is very much needed!

Now I understand. My first lucid dream after 15 nights using Mild was a DEILD. My alarm clock woke me up in the night. "I'm just checking what made the train rattle in the last dream." "Let me take a closer look at what that other train looked like again." _Unaware that I'm dreaming_ [Walking up some stairs after being thrown off the train] “This must be a dream!”

I am a top responder to your videos. I see by my name. I have also used this technique many times. works well

You are indeed Jim!! And thank you for being so supportive in all the many ways, it means the world to me. Dream re entry is a super handy tool when the conditions are right :)

I didn't use dream reentry much during my lucid life, and even if I did the last time was long ago. However, there are some instances where I wake up from a dream, not particularly high in emotion as far as dreams go, but when I return to sleep after recording it into my journal, I sometimes enter a new dream in about a matter of minutes after going through the sleep latency phase. So I guess from my current experiences that ART is a more useful REM yardstick for me than "were my emotions unusually high or intense". I might use dream reentry in the near future, but at the same time I don't want to sacrifice too many dreams that happen earlier in the night to oblivion, just to get dream reentry to work for me. But anyway, great video!

For real this time! Onward, DEILD!

DEILD is another "technique" I've never really looked at due to it's name but, like you said, I've done it before! Granted, it's only worked a handful of times due to my fluctuating attention span when I'm half asleep, but I've found it really useful when it's worked! To add onto this, and this is only my personal account, I've found that it helps with recall of the dream as well and improves my dream manipulation. I'm more clear-minded and quick thinking. Maybe it's just a me thing but that's my own personal account! Comment on the shorter side today as I'm very scattered brained and focused on stats and numbers. Great video that I will give a rewatch to!

Double early access

Dream-exit induced lucid dreams is such a clunky name… It's been a long time since I last managed to re-enter a dream! But I will definitely try again.

I think I may have done this.... on very rare occasions. I think I tend to lose awareness as I fall asleep, and if I stay awake long enough to get a clearer mindset, I tend to have some trouble falling asleep. So I usually don't try to wake up more before going back to sleep.

I love anything with an ‘ILD’ on it!

Nearing 50 days with 1 short lucid dream towards the beginning. I know consistency is key but it's becoming increasingly difficult to stay motivated. I'm wondering if there's some one-off method to increase chances of a lucid dream for a night? Just to hopefully get another one and raise motivation.

Are you using morning naps? I tried it for the first time a few days ago, I checked if rem is about to happen by using the word association game. (the next day I woke up at a bad time so rem wasn`t coming so I didn`t bother). You gotta find the right time to wake up for yourself. Then I simply used MILD to get lucid. When I woke up earlier I wrote down 3 dreams. My gf is away for 6 weeks and in one dream we wanted to do have sex but I wanted to check something first and never made it back. So I chose this moment for mild, with the intention to continue the dream lucid. I think the combination of a strong goal, me writing down the dreams before my approach while at the same time already looking for the perfect moment for mild and the morning nap made this a perfect opportunity and it just worked without any trouble. Morning naps are really amazing. You can`t bingewatch a series before bed of course, have to get in bed early so you have the time for an extra nap but it`s totally worth it and I think it changes your mindset too. You`re not on autopilot, lucid dreaming is important to you, you don`t get distracted by stuff, you set the intention to go to bed early and you do. You don`t turn over after waking up, you write down your dreams, get up, back to bed and you will perform a technique. That stuff isn`t easy, you`ll make a point by doing it, if it doesn`t work the first time, don`t get frustrated, it will happen. Just don`t give up. Also, it totally helped that I aimed to do all this. I knew I would do a morning nap, I knew I would write down my dreams to look for the perfect mild moment, and I knew that even if it doesn`t work this time, the practice will be beneficial so I didn`t care TOO MUCH. Sorry, so much text. :D I hope this helps. oO

When you get super stressed in life (like I am currently with finals) what are the best ways to prevent it from affecting your dream recall and just remembering to perform NOW's?

@LucidDreamPortal

7 ай бұрын

It's challenging, try to always consider NOWs and micro-tests as mini-meditations, they are a response to overwhelming or distracting (etc.) situations. So, by design one naturally performs more NOWs and tests as the intensity of life increases, they will also give you moments of calm in those scenarios. Hopefully that makes sense.

Unfortunately I almost never really wake up during dreams. Usually I just start remembering them after sleeping. Perhaps I could set an intention for this but again I already perform WBTB every night. Don't wanna get a messy night sleep. So I guess I'll just keep DEILD in mind! Just whenever I do suddenly wake up from a dream I could try it.

Yeah you’re right, I did try this as a child, and even when I was learning to lucid dream. It just doesn’t work for me.

How does a lucid dream feel do you sleep and awake in a dream or you fall asleep without noticing

Regarding reality checks for lucid dreaming, what happens if you close your eyes briefly? Isn't it true that when you are in a dream, you won't see darkness when you do this?

When we wake up at night do we have to do anything to focus or we just instantly go back to sleep

The other night I woke up from a dream and tried to induce a wild but fell asleep too soon. I ended up back in the dream I had woken up from at the exact same place I left off! I woke up again shortly after, tried to WILD again and ended up in that same dream again at the most recent place I had left off! I was in a loop of this like 5 times but none were lucid😭 so you’re saying if I wake up from a dream I should just lie still and wait until I’m dreaming again? How will I know when to do a RC? (Example, If the dream starts off in my own bed. Or will it automatically go back to the dream I was just having? )

These are scenarios where prospective memory and maintaining awareness of your circumstances come into play. Don't rely too heavily on tests to trigger lucidity, they are the most simplistic and low-level means to do so. Instead when in these scenarios the goal is to keep your logical mind assessing your current circumstances correctly.

Cool

Is there any one here who always experience this lucid dream, i dont know whiy but ive always experienced this, sometimes its scary.

What does it mean to perform dream re entry

Is prospective memory trying to get you to train your focus so it doesn't wonder? I find my focusing a lot better since I been training it.

@LucidDreamPortal

7 ай бұрын

Prospective memory is more about learning which part of your brain you can delegate remembering to perform a future action, so think of it like this, if I tell you that in one hour I want you to stop what you're doing and clap four times, but not to think about it between now and then, in order to do that you'd be using prospective memory. Hope that helps! And thank you Firebolt, you're brilliant!

Hey, yes you can have lucid dreams that last up to 45 minutes, sometimes longer. It depends greatly on the period of REM and how much sleep you've had recently. Generally the longest REM period is about 30-45 minutes, so if you can get lucid at the start of that, then you've got a nice long lucid dream to enjoy.
