[1TheJester]

@1TheJester ja 

[Kenubajuk]

Lucid Dreamworlds should not be used as playgrounds!

Take it serious!

It's kind of Deception to avoid that you find out what's rally going on with this world/worlds!

Specially when you say to have sex with anybody, think about rapist that could use lucid dreams to abuse other peoples consciousness!

Watch the movie "strange days" and start reflection to avoid to wake up one day in totally fucked up world!

How do You know now, we are not in a nightmare of somebody else???

@Kenubajuk

Lucid dreams are not dangerous.

[noobyaz]

@Kenubajuk wtf are you talking about dude

[Kenubajuk]

@noobyaz

Matrixtheory finally

[HCmon]

Almost ALL the dreams I have are like this. I can taste, fly, etc., I don't think is THAT special since it's a dream. Sometimes (like today lol) I want to grab something of the dream to reality and then I got so sad :(

Hey, you're back! Lately I've been having a different kind of lucid dream. I am so aware of the fact that I'm dreaming, that my mind tries to sabotage the lucid dream. Let's say I want to see a certain person in the dream, I keep seeing someone that looks like the person but isn't exactly the one I have in mind. If that makes sense :) It drives me crazy!

Love the hair ;)

[Loupland]

i know a way, how you can lucid dream in one try...

You need some external factors, but once you have those, you cant miss... it's logics

[Czechbastard]

This is excellent and the new site looks great! Thank you so much for doing the work you do. Your site and efforts are a huge gift to lucid dreamers and those who wish to have their own lucid dreams.

[hellerkyle]

YES NEW VIDEO!

[siciliano29]

I've had quite a few LDs in my lifetime, but it's VERY difficult to pull off, especially via the WILD method (wake-induced lucid dream). The best advice? PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.

[WMfin]

I have tried 3-4 years too to have lucids but I have bad luck.

Now that video makes me wanna try again!

Thank you Tim! :)

[Laurelindo]

@WMfin You need to take this practice seriously; your last attempt was most likely done incorrectly, like you forgot to record your dreams in detail or didn't believe in yourself.

First you need to believe that you can do it, have confidence, but don't be too eager - then lie still when you awake and let the dreams come back to you, write them down in as great detail as possible and analyze them thoroughly, look for common elements etc.

Also always assume that you might be dreaming (maybe now)?

[WMfin]

@Laurelindo Hi there,

I think I have done almost everything I can. I think that the best way for me is to think lucids so much that it has no other option than follow me in my dreams. But it takes so much.. so much attenttion etc..

but I have to keep trying.. There is too much to lose..

Thank you! :)

[Laurelindo]

@WMfin I think the mistake you make is that you distinguish too much between "real life" and "dreams".

One very important strategy is to never feel completely sure whether or not you really are awake.

After all, if you take everything for granted in dreams, couldn't that mean you might be dreaming a very vivid dream right now?

Try doing stuff you can't normally do in the "real life" (putting fingers through walls etc) - keep doing this a lot and you will eventually start doing it in your dreams.

[WMfin]

@Laurelindo I think that you got the point! I'm doing it so sure that "this isn't dream!" that there is no time to question it - I just deside it right away!

Im going to change my methods. Thank you very much! :)

[Laurelindo]

@WMfin Yeah, you're welcome.

Some more things you should keep in mind is that you actually prepare your bedroom specifically for lucid dreaming, so that everytime you walk into that room you should be reminded of lucid dreams - for example, from dream-like pictures on the wall etc.

It should also have clean air and feel comfortable, and your dream journal (if you use one, you really should) should be exclusively used for recording dreams, and nothing else.

[WMfin]

@Laurelindo Yeah, I know that, thx :)

[thestrugglewithin]

as brief as this video was, it has given me many ideas to apply in lucid dreaming.

3 years exp so far, one day I'll be good enough to not a PS3 for entertainment.

[Dashie87]

Awesome! A new lucidipedia video!

I loved all of your old videos.

♥

[ZTVstudios]

i am a chronic insomniac... i have had several lucid dreams but recently i have been prescribed to ambien can that help with lucid dreaming or cause a problem?

[thestrugglewithin]

@ZTVstudios

what do you mean by "prescribed to ambien"?

is it a drug?

if so, only a doctor would really have clue.

I dont see how it could though because REM sleep is part of the natural cycle of sleeping in terms of brainwave activity (your brain shifts up and down from REM and deep sleep; theta (REM sleep) - delta (deep sleep) - theta - delta -theta - delta etc.

[ZTVstudios]

@thestrugglewithin yes, its a drug. i think it really hepls give me a better quality of sleep, ive had some wierd dreams on it though, such as my best friend and i were at a bbq then i started walking toward the bathroom and he folowed me and we started fighting...

[thestrugglewithin]

@ZTVstudios

Having a weird dream is not enough to say that it was caused by the drug or not.

I frequently discuss dreams with my flat mates whom dont practice lucidity and they tell me of bizarre dreams all the time.

I have pretty bizarre dreams as well however ever since practicing lucidity, the degree of weirdness seems to be reduced...having said that, I cant really pin point it to anything specific because these things vary too greatly.

[Eldwinn]

been tryin or 4 years, not a SINGLE LUCID DREAM WOOO!

[thestrugglewithin]

@Eldwinn

you've been trying for years?

or

you've been trying for 4 years?

either way, that is a terrible success rate - you need to evaluate your approach to lucid dreaming to find out what you need to change in order to have success.

I highly recommend lucidipedia as a learning source - I learned from their 3 years ago and I have had massive gains.

[Eldwinn]

@thestrugglewithin ............4 years lol.... trust me i've done my fair share of evaluating....

[thestrugglewithin]

@Eldwinn

sounds like you're lying to yourself really.

4 years also sounds like an exageration.

Most people i know have their first success within 2 months of starting.

4 years of failure means 4 years of incorrect practice.

Not trying to diss you or anything, just sounds like you're not really trying.

[Eldwinn]

@thestrugglewithin no man I've had partially lucid dreams I just cant control them very well.

[thestrugglewithin]

@Eldwinn

Oh ok no, thats a different issue really.

I understood you in meaning to not even having ONE lucid dream, no matter what.

Control takes time and practice. Go to lucidity d0.t com and have a read of the articles, they were much help to me in stabilization and other aspects.

[Eldwinn]

@thestrugglewithin yeah i should have been more clear, thanks for the help though.

[hrvatskiponos3]

is the new lucidipedia website up yet??

[lisbethsr]

@hrvatskiponos3 yep!

[OAIEguitar]

I'm really glad you started back up with Lucidipedia. I hope you do more videos

[AniCator]

I wish I had a lucid dream. I've been trying forever.

[braxinIV]

Finally! Another video! Can we expect more? :)

[djeome]

I had a great lucid dream last year, the dream was normal until I suddenly fly out over the bay and across the ocean and when I stopped moving but still in the air I realised "wow I can fly" then from then on I could go anywhere and feel the wind under me and the view of the ocean below me and the beautiful sunset horizon was amazing! But I ruined the dream when I wonderd if I could fly out of the earths atmosphere ad when I was almost in space it was like I hit the roof then I woke up :)

[djeome]

@djeome also recently I have been noticing when I sit with my eyes and mind closed my eye lids start to flicker. Is this me almost entering the R.E.M state but being awake? It is very distracting from then on as my focus is hard to divert from my eyes doing that! :)

[MorpheusOneiro]

@djeome yes this naturally occurs

[djeome]

@MorpheusOneiro Thanks :)

[Jegoruku]

Just started to rewatch your videos on lucid dreaming. Did not expected you posting a new one. Thanks for the inspiration.

[xXBlackxRebelXx]

I have a question, when I was young (child), my dreams were very vivid, vibrant and in many cases really whacked out. And I could remember my dreams better. When I woke up, I would mentally explore what I had dreamt and think about it.

As I grew older, my dreams tend to "evaporate" once I woke up, and try as I might sometimes I completely forget them.

What are the reasons?

[Tomaz4l]

@xXBlackxRebelXx maybe brainwaves? watch?v=8Z5U6VEBN5c around 7 min.

[phillydoughboy]

NICE!!!

[Finiras]

i tend to remember dreams, in some detail too, but it doesn't feel "alive". like a real experience. maybe my visual memory isn't very strong? can you guys remember dreams as if they really happened? like any other life experience? i know its different as in you forget dreams quickly after waking up but when you still remember them?

the memories of the dreams feel "dead" to me. i feel like if i can't remember the actual experiences from the dreams then it's pointless to lucid dream.

[vulcanus30]

Have you experienced anything paranormal (astral realms, telephathy etc.)? Thank You!

[BerettaLaumman]

Lucid dreaming is awesome thats what it is!

[L4NEvox]

Great to see another video from you Tim. Can we expect more tutorials here on YouTube? :)

[wabbit1504]

@L4NEvox i agree, i hope for more videos.

[Darkenigma28]

Awesome! thanks for posting this. I appreciate what you do.
