 Right, so it's been a very long time. I am now back. I've returned to YouTube I know you to be honest probably a lot of you are thinking like what who is this guy? Why is he just he makes videos he makes videos for a month solidly then he goes away and he comes back and he says Oh, I'm back to YouTube now, and then he goes away for another month I don't know to be honest guys. It is kind of hard to to keep up with the YouTube Sort of responsibility a lot of creators have said the same thing right it just life gets in the way You know like you might go and you might travel for some some time you might have You there might be like relationship things you might have personal problems going on like there's always there's always stuff You know things that get in the way of making videos because to make a video Yes, it is essentially you just turn the camera on and start talking But there is a quite a bit more that goes into it than just that you have to not only find the time You've got to make sure that there's enough space. You've got to make sure that there's no distractions Like you ideally you want to have like no one sort of in the house. So at least that's how I make videos I like to have no one in the house so I can focus. I'm not worrying about people hearing me Talking while making mistakes. I like to just have like this This quiet times like one-to-one interaction that happens when I make videos with you for you guys So why am I telling you all this because I feel like this channel this this channel is obviously about lucid dreaming, right? It's about dreams psychology that sort of thing But there's there's a core audience who watched all of my videos and if you're watching this Then you're probably one of that core what you know a member of that core audience You've been supporting me for you know for the last few months for the last few years And a few of you have actually seen this channel go from the very start You know when I had sort of one two videos I was getting very few views and I really didn't know how to make videos I didn't know how to talk to a camera. I didn't know how to structure things I didn't really know how to present information to a camera and to you guys So there's a few a few of you who have actually been with me from the start and I really do appreciate you guys You're like the og core audience of of how to lucid and A lot of you have seen probably this channel go from that to where it is now where we're almost at 100,000 subscribers Hopefully we'll get there this year But that I don't know that that sort of depends on Where we get there this year, I don't know if you're watching this and you haven't subscribed be one of the be one of the people that make that happen Anyway, so hopefully we'll get to 100,000 subscribers Hopefully we'll continue to grow this the thing I really want to the elephant in the room here Okay, is that a couple of people have been saying that it seems like the content has become stale it seems like there's been like a decline in the quality of content and In some videos it seems like I'm saying the same thing, but in a different way now I want to just directly address this in some cases, right? There is no other way of answering a question than to sort of re repackage Restate certain things which are fundamental to lucid dreaming. It's just the way it is because Like safe safe someone asks a question like how do I? Go from not knowing anything about lucid dreaming to being able to have them regularly the answer to that question is usually the same Right, so but so what I do is I'll make a video to answer that question and I'll leave that as done Right, if someone then asks another question, which is similar to the first question But there's a variation on it like for example, they might say how do I I can't lose a dream I've tried the wild method. How do I get success? You know what methods should I use? Obviously, I'm gonna I'm still gonna answer that question because it's a different type of question But I still might reference things that I said in the first video because they're fundamental They don't change like for example safe in one video I'd say right well what you need to do is you need to do reality checks you need to meditate You need to those things apply to everything so yes, I might repeat myself in some cases But I sort of have to because save so save someone watches video Say video one I tell you meditate do reality checks write your dreams down and then do some other stuff, etc Right That's video one save then six months later I make another video answering another question if I don't mention those fundamentals in that video There's a good chance that people who watch this video video to or let's say if it's like my my 380th video or something like that. There's a good chance those people haven't seen the first video So I sort of have to mention these basics in most of my videos Obviously, I try and keep it brief because I know that a lot of you Will have seen my other videos and so you know the basics you know you should meditate You know you should write your dreams down. You know you should do reality checks. These things are fundamental. They don't change really But so I have to I have to sort of brush over those things fairly briefly in every video I'm in most videos I make and I know that can be a bit annoying Especially if you're looking for some unique or you know new content But that's sort of what I have to do because there are lots of people who watch my new videos who haven't seen my previous ones And I need to make sure that they understand the fundamentals. Otherwise, you know, if I if I don't mention those things They're gonna watch that video and not really get any value from it. They're gonna You know, you've got to understand that most of my most of my views are from new people who maybe aren't subscribed So say if I make a video obviously like 10 to 20 percent of my subscribers You know, my core audience will watch every video I make and they might get a bit annoyed that I might be sometimes repeating myself You know, but the new people the people that are gonna watch these videos Hopefully and then subscribe the new audience, right? They haven't heard that stuff yet at least from not from me, you know, they haven't heard the fundamentals They haven't really been introduced to that information. So I have to say it. So yeah I hope I hope that makes sense That being said, I do always try with every video. I always try and have some sort of unique angle You know, it's never exactly the same. There's always something I'm answering whether it's like a new product I'm reviewing whether it's a new technique or something that I'm like Referencing or relating to something else. I always try and give you something unique and new as well as covering the fundamentals Which I feel are essential to mention in most videos So I hope that makes sense that being said, there are lots of things that I wouldn't that I'd like to do with this channel I thought I'd give you a small update on you know, what I'm doing and how What ideas I have going forward? So firstly, you will know that I've I've recently launched lucid dreaming app the how to lucid app I don't think it's got an official name yet. It's just called how to lucid But that's doing really well a lot of people are finding that useful. There are some updates in the works. Oh Yes, there are some some tweaks that I'm going to make to this. It's not just going to be set and forget, you know Yeah, so there's gonna be some tweaks and I have night mode. I'm gonna have some other stuff The reality check reminders will be optimised Yeah, I covered this in another video cover this in another video leave a comment I don't I don't remember anyway, so that's that's a thing the lucid dreaming app the lucid dreaming journal Which I think I I showed you in depth before that is doing well There are lots of lots of good feedback on that if you haven't picked one of these up It's pretty cool. I won't go into too much detail, but it's like It's a lucid dreaming journal you can write your dreams down It's specifically geared towards like helping you become lucid as opposed to just being fancy So there's that There's also a few interesting very interesting products. I'm going to be reviewing now With review videos. I need to know what you guys think here So if you're watching this and if you're one of my core audiences and if you watch most of my videos You'll notice that I review products, right? And these are this can be anything from supplements to courses to you know devices necklaces Whatever it is something relating to dreams or dreaming or sleep. I review products, okay? And that's because I firstly I get sent products to review Secondly, I usually if I like something right which there are lots of exciting tech and you know Dream-related products if I like something I'll tend to make a review of it Because it's just I find it interesting. I like doing unboxing videos. I like sort of sharing It's almost like we're discovering the products together. So If you don't want to see review videos what I can do and this might be an option for you You know, this might be a preferable thing if you want to Leave a comment letting me know what I can do is I can I can check the box that says do not notify subscribers when I post review videos So what that means is that only people searching for that product's Review will find the video and for the core audience who don't really care about the review videos They won't see it They won't be notified and that way if you don't want to see reviews of products It won't annoy you you won't get the notification saying like new video you get excited and then it's another review video I completely get that like there's a few of you who maybe don't want that sort of content And you just want informational content tutorials that sort of thing Completely understand that but I need to know so if you don't want to see review videos Okay, if you're watching this you don't want to see review videos Leave a comment or if you see a comment saying I don't want to see review videos Like that comment so it gets boosted to the top and that way I will know That my core audience doesn't want to see that and what I'll do is I'll just I'll still post them But I'll make sure that they don't it doesn't notify you so you won't get annoyed You won't get overloaded with notifications and you'll only get notified when I post a non review videos So like a tutorial, you know like an update or informational How-to style video, okay? Anyway, if you do want to see review videos, I've got an exciting one coming up because this This is the perfect sleep pad and what this is is like Imagine imagine your mattress right but it's able to regulate its temperature throughout the night based on your body And based on the optimal temperature that needs to be and what that means is that so when you when you go to sleep, right? I'm not gonna go too into depth with this because I'm gonna save it for the review video, right? But when you go to sleep your body slowly reduces temperature reduces core temperature shuts down your you know Most of your processes So that you can go enter deep sleep and enter these deep stages of sleep as you as you go through the night If the temperatures too high or low Your body can't do that and you experience sleep disorders like insomnia, you know You'll wake up you'll maybe have interrupted dreams that sort of thing what the sleep pad does is It's a very clever piece of technology which allows cooled or heated water to be pumped through these tiny tubes that you sleep on so that you are always at the exact perfect temperature for sleep It's used by athletes. It's not actually readily available. I don't think at the moment At least not you know, it's not very well known at the moment. It's fairly new, but it's revolutionary You know athletes are using it professional sports people Typically Typically it's used by athletes just because it's quite expensive, you know, I think it's a few hundred dollars I can't remember the exact price, but it looks like a really interesting product and I'm gonna I can't wait to test it out So yeah, I've got lots of reviews. I want to make I'm just trying to think of what else A couple of supplements I'm gonna be talking about So there's that. Okay. There's the supplements as the products that I'm gonna be reviewing There's also a lot of other content I want to make for this channel like so stories dream experiences, you know dream journal entries What I what I want to do as well Is I want to open the floor up to you guys, right? So I want you to leave long comments Really long detailed comments of your dream experiences and what I'll do is every now and then I'll make a video where I'll read them out You know, maybe like I'll do top five scariest sleep paralysis stories or top top five exciting dreams These these things are interesting not only to me to make but also for you guys to hear I think it's it's interesting to hear other people's experiences with this sort of stuff Otherwise, it's just if it's just all my experiences that you know, that might not be as interesting I like to I like to collate and curate these different experiences from different people around the world so Starting now, I know a lot of you comment anyway, but just try and leave more detailed comments Try and leave share your experiences. I promise I will read them Even if I don't reply to them all I will read them and if you post a comment on my videos There is a big chance that I'll make a video where I share that comment or experience, you know Or I directly answer your questions I'm still gonna break the videos up into individual questions apart from this video You know, not usually every video has a focus or a topic which is you know streamlined I'm only making a video about that topic As opposed to just answering everything in one video I know a lot of channels just like to curate FAQs and they they'll make a video like Answering your questions and I'll just go through everyone's question and answer them answer them in one video I sort of like that It's useful in a way, but at the same time I like to I like to focus on one answer and then go into depth on that answer I don't like to sort of Rush my answers to your questions. So for that reason, I'm gonna still keep making, you know One video for one question or one video for one topic So yeah, hopefully that makes sense Other news right so my other channels. I Have started new channels. So I've got a Well one of them is not really new the transcend your limits channel Which I've always plugged on this day is like a travel travel videos travel vlogs that sort of stuff, right? For those of you who don't know I travel fairly often I like to experience and explore new cultures and places So what I what I started doing is I just started filming my experiences I started taking my camera and just filming like Roughly what I'm doing where I'm going Because I think it's interesting I find interesting to watch travel vlogs and videos and I think a lot of other people do as well So that channel has now rebranded to what is known as transcend travel if you type that in you'll see the little blue pyramid logo With the lines to it. That's my channel. It's also linked in the description And in the site if you go to much if you click on this channel on the sidebar You'll see like recommended other places other channels. It's on there as well transcend travel So that's the travel channel now I then also made a new channel called transcend your limits, which is the official Main channel for transcend your limits now. What is transcend your limits? I hear you ask so diligently. Well, it's it's a mixture of everything Okay, so on this channel. I talk about lucid dreaming in the transcend your limits one. I talk about everything else psychology Meditation motivation business passive income travel lifestyle like everything else that I might want to ramble on about It's all covered there. Okay, so this channel as I said is always going to be focused on dreams and dreaming The other channel transcend your limits will be talking about everything, right? So if you've ever wondered, you know, something else like what do I do in my spare time? How do I? What's my morning routine? Do I meditate? How do I run my websites? You know, what all of this stuff, right psychology? How do I? How do I control my emotions like all of these things these sort of life general life advice type questions and things You can ask them all on the transcend your limits channel now I haven't actually posted a video on there yet, but I'm hoping to post one today Which will open up the floor for your questions. Leave a comment. I really appreciate if you have watched this far in the video Well firstly well done, you know, this is a long video. It's just a lot of boring updates really, but Yeah, I'd appreciate if you go and check out transcend your limits channel You can find it in the description or in, you know, my recommended channels leave a comment on my video when it posts when I when it goes live Just ask asking a question, right? It can be about absolutely anything, right? It doesn't have to be lucid dreaming It can be literally anything So go and check those out The podcast right we're slowly getting through these things The podcast the house of lucid dream the ha the lucid dreaming podcast by how to lucid, right? Doing fairly well. It's on soundcloud iTunes Spotify stitcher lips in I think as well You know these main the main places you would listen to podcasts. I think it's there It's doing well I've had my first guest on the podcast Anthony Mathivier who is a world-renowned memory expert He did a very interesting podcast with me there Talking about all sorts of things mainly how to remember more of your dreams But also, you know memory techniques how to never forget somebody's name All of these interesting things he we speak about that on the podcast. It's about an hour long It's my longest podcast episode and I'm slowly getting into the hang of podcasts, you know When I first started just like with video. I had no idea how to do it I didn't know how to keep the conversation flowing especially when I Don't I typically don't like to edit my things too much So I didn't want to have to cut into the audio and edit it too much But the conversation seemed to flow fairly well is my first guest. I'll have many more in the future If you have any suggestions for guests leave a comment let me know who you should who think I should interview or you know Talk to have a podcast episode with And that's really that's really it for this update guys the I Just wanted to sort of share all these things and let you know how things are going There will be more videos. There will be more content. Just please please stay patient if you want to Another thing I wanted to mention is the the lucid dreaming bootcamp Now if you've already heard me mention this just skip this video this section, you know Go and read the comments or something or leave something funny as a story The lucid dreaming bootcamp is the most effective course that I've come across or created About for lucid dreaming and the reason it's so effective is because if you think of any skill that you want to learn, right? Whether it's you know lucid dreaming or you know how to set up a website Whatever you whatever the skill is that you want to learn the most important thing is Is combining knowledge with action right learning the information and then Implementing the information and most people get this completely backwards. They say they purely focus on learning the information Or they purely focus on taking action without knowing anything and both of these approaches are completely wrong, right? You can't do so you can't learn or do something Without balancing these two things you need to know what to practice and then you need to practice the thing If you don't do one or if you know if you do one without without the other Nothing will happen. You'll either take loads of action and get everything wrong or you won't take any action But you'll know how to do it which is kind of backwards as well So the bootcamp is a step-by-step course. It teaches you for 30 days Exactly what to practice how to practice it and what to do on each on every single individual day For the 30 days it teaches you how to lose to dream But it also tells you exactly how and when to practice the things so that if you follow it Okay, if you just follow the steps if you just do what it says on each day of this calendar You will lose to dream within two weeks It's guaranteed if you don't lose to dream within two weeks you get your money back It's I think it's $30 at the moment. It comes with five free bonus e-books. There's a huge amount of value here It really is a great deal for you guys And you know, it's got it's got lots of reviews. It's got testimonials It's got lots of people who've been through it and had success It's a really effective way if you're watching this You just don't know how to lose to dream or you know, if you in some way want to support what I'm doing It's a great way of doing that as well. There's a huge amount of value as I said with the bonuses But above all that it's it's more effective than any e-book or course that you could buy Simply because it focuses on teaching you something and then immediately getting you to implement and practice it And almost nothing else does that. I've not found any other course that does that For lucid dreaming or actually for a lot of things, you know, this this should be like the standard for learning information You learn something and then you're immediately forced to put it into action If you don't do that the information stays in your brain and eventually just goes away And you don't you don't learn the thing because you never practice the exercises the steps the techniques That you need to do in order to get the skill. I hope this makes sense for you guys. Anyway The page explains it a bit better than I can so go and check it out Forward slash boot camp or one word lowcase Again, there are links in the description if you actually click on the description You'll see like a list of useful things. I've collected for you guys As well as like some banyan beats and discounts on some supplements and things But you will find it in the description below you'll find a link to the boot camp Which I really would highly recommend you go and check out If not then wait for the next video and see you next time
