 Okay, welcome back to another Lucid Whiteboard video. We've got a question today from our friend Trinity, and she says, I'm having trouble lucid dreaming. I lay there and I start to relax and get ready for the lucid dream, but I keep seeing flashes of light and, like, sort of like a white flash appear in her vision. Am I lucid dreaming? Am I doing this right? What is happening? What should I do? She says, okay. It's actually kind of a normal thing. It's happened to a lot of people, and when you start to fall asleep, if you're trying to keep your mind awake, you'll experience visualizations, and you'll see things like for example white flashes, or you might see shapes. It could be anything really. You could start to see things that you are thinking about, and this could be people, this could be shapes, as I say, white flashes, but if you stick with it and you keep your mind awake, so focus on not letting your sort of awareness fall asleep, then you will experience a wake-induced lucid dream, and you may already be familiar with this term. This is where you keep your mind awake while your body goes to sleep, and this is done through staying focused while these visualizations are happening, so while you're seeing these colors and these shapes and white flashes, as you say, keep your mind awake, stay focused, but at the same time let your body completely relax, let your muscles paralyze themselves, let yourself go to sleep, and you'll experience a wake-induced lucid dream. So to answer your question, you didn't experience a lucid dream, but you experienced the start of one, so you were very close to experiencing a lucid dream, but you weren't quite there, so just stick with it. I mean, from what you've told me, it sounds like you're just letting yourself fall asleep completely when you're sort of on the brink of having a lucid dream, so stay focused, keep your mind awake as much as you can, but not to the point where you're overthinking and you're keeping your body awake as well. I hope this makes sense. So if you have any other questions, thank you for question 20, and just email them in or send them. You can go on the website, there's a contact page, you can tweet them to me or you can send them to this YouTube channel. Thank you for watching.
