Just goes to show how difficult these techniques are doesn't it! (also double all of those scores for how I felt recording this! )

You never fail to impress me with how dedicated you are when it comes to teaching Lucid Dreaming Daniel, super well done for another amazing and helpful video👍

I didn't expect to pass, but once i really got into a focused rhythm I just kept going until the end. That was a much more rewarding experience than mindlessly scrolling through social media.

This is the BEST lucid dreaming channel on KZread. I had been using Explore Lucid Dreaming's videos and techniques but none of them worked. I tried this one and first try, I got a lucid dream. (admittedly I became lucid in a nightmare but I wasn't scared because I knew it was just a dream) I love how honest you are. None of the 'Lucid dream tonight. 100% Works every time' going on. Thank you for making these videos!

I think he wants to know if we’re dreaming.

@@LucidDreamPortal Thanks, I'll surely try it tonight.

I had to do a reality test twice during the video (and one afterwards) because I shifted from saying "Am I dreaming?" to "I am dreaming" without intention, but I made it through! I really like those interactive videos, thank you so much for sharing, this is amazing! PS: I've always been having trouble to focus, but being able to count with you together really helps! Honestly, I *wanted* to clilck away, but I told myself, nope, I'm gonna do this now!

Passed. There's hope for me yet. Thank you so much for your patience and dedication, Daniel. Truly appreciated 👍

That was weird, was listening all the way and wondered why you stopped. Completely lost track of time. Don't know what to make of it? Shot for the video.

Counting is good = math = veterinary assistant = saving animals and Lucid Dreaming and no believe me this is not the most boring video on KZread actually this is very relaxing, a challenge like this I'm not clicking away!😎and I passed

Just saw this when I finished my daily exercise! Yay, this makes my day, I'm super pumped at the moment to start my LD practice with a fresh mind. Will do it later today, though, after my meditation. I'll report back!

Wow forget about our patience.. I am really impressed about how patient you are to actually count for 20 mins

I did this as my daily meditation to spice things up, didn't get hypnagogia, but at one time at the end while I was focusing on the numbers I felt my eyes open and I thought I failed, but when I opened them I instantly snapped back into reality and my eyes were actually closed the whole time. That opening sensation was fake, but felt so real.

Interesting. The video came just as I was about to meditate. So I let you count me through my meditation. When I count alone at night, I either count for hours or immediately fall asleep.

In my defense I put this on 10 minutes before boarding a plane.

This video was great! I made it though and tried to stay as focused as I could, thank you to all the dedication you put into this channel!

Back to lucid dreaming after 3 months,so exited

I made it and recited with you the whole time, except for a few numbers here and there because of yawning. lol! That was not easy. It amazes me how hard it is to focus for 20 minutes. At bedtime I often fall asleep within a minute or two, but if I do the tricks to keep myself awake longer, that keeps me awake way longer than I want.

I made it...I knew I would coz I use to lucid dream way more in High School and College...And in those days I had probably the best lucid dreams ever...Nowadays I'd just have them sort and this makes me so sad, but I've already had a couple of lucid dreams this year, it beats last year already since I had some time to just relax at home...Anyway, if I could, I'd be catching you guys in dreamland

Aside from doing a test at the very start I passed! Its amazing the effort you put into each of your videos, this one is no exception. Thank you!

Currently I’m trying to find the balance for achieving a wake initiated lucid dream. So far I’ve noticed I just let the visualization or what I chose to do as the anchor hang in the back of my mind spontaneously and let my brain wonder off almost letting both run together.

I'm sure there's duller videos on KZread than this - this was quite relaxing. The idea of being focused is odd as I was counting with you, but, I was also listening to the conversation happening in a few rooms away (they speak loud and the TV is cranked up). I felt focused, as I was still keeping up the pace, but I don't know if it was automatic or not. I will say I probably passed with maybe a high B, as I did get too caught up in their conversation for a quick second. Funny thing is, my video buffered twice! I thought "oh, this is him trollinv" but, if it truly was made to be an induction, that would defeat the point. That caused me to get distracted, as well as me moving to lay down and listen with my eyes closed. I will say though, I did get hypnagogia at around 120 and at 240, both fading away after. The 240 was way more realistic in terms of how it looked, but, it was less realistic in the sense that it looked like it was glitching. My head also started to hurt around 302. Interesting video for sure, even if it was hard to get through! I'll definitely use this for sleep at some point, as I'm definitely out of it just from a "testing" perspective.

Made it! I found it helpful to count for myself along to your voice from time to time to have more focus. But around 300 I miscounted once unfortunately, I am glad you made this video, it's a really good focusing exercise along meditation. Recently I did the counting method in the middle of the night to induce a maintained awareness lucid dream, it was the first time I had success with this subject, thanks to your great youtube channel and your 19 day beginner course! I'll gladly leave a huge super-thanks once I'm not that broke anymore :D thank you for your incredible work

Oh wow! test passed! hoorrray! :D Thanks a lot Daniel for all the effort!!!

Yes, I think people forget the reality of having to stay focused for so long. Hopefully this is a reminder of just what is needed.

Made it through, save an interruption via a scam call (the dangers of watching on mobile). The counting method has been my main method with WBTB as my memory of touch/feeling is a bit too poor to pull off IMP. While it has yet to produce a WILD (either through incorrectly using the technique or just never nailing down my REM period correctly), it has seemed to have increased the chances I’d experience a DILD.

not too difficult, there are subtle "focus cues" in the presentation of this test. one is every tenth number is emphasized, the other is a psychological effect of listening to running numbers, you will "mishear" some of the numbers, if you are aware of this effect you will use it as a prompt to keep listening and stay alert.(when using as a method of sleep induction prior to lucid dreaming the misheard number effect is a sure sign that you are drifting away from waking consciousness).

I passed!

Thank you Daniel. Such a good exercise. So glad I have passed the test 😅 I was counting and visualising the numbers at the same time to stay more focused. Will try it again with WBTB :-)

I passed yay

I don't know if I actually passed. I usually exercise for a little when watching videos sometimes, and had no idea what I was getting into when doing that this time. I definitely wasn't relaxing at first because of that. At first, I was going to click off and then on after I finished exercising, but I decided to just watch straight through anyway. I don't know why, but I really enjoyed watching that, especially after exercising! Probably just the fact I wasn't otherwise doing anything for once. Will have to do again sometime when I'm not exercising. I thought it was interesting that you actually sat down and did that for so long! There were definitely times when I was distracted because I am also doing an assignment with tracking heart rate over time, but also by the monkey mind. I tried acknowledging that and bringing myself back sort of like I do when falling asleep with Catch the Butterfly during WILDs.

I passed, and I’m using this tonight during WBTB to try and do WILD!

Thank you for this ❤

There is no such thing as the most effective technique, and it's worth giving up on ever finding one. Each human is different, everyone's psychology is different. Lucid dreaming is not about a single technique, it is about a lifestyle strategy and a way of thinking. And for the technique you asked about (sorry deleted your comment as I don't like to promote the person who is behind it) - not a good technique at all, the inventor is also behind a Kickstarter campaign that took money from lucid dreamers and never provided their promises. So, they are entirely not someone to trust.
