 Did you know that we spend what how long in our lives? How how much time do you think we spend dreaming now when I first was asked that question when I first thought about this thing? I I assumed that maybe would spend you know a few hundred hours Dreaming right obviously we spend a lot longer sleeping, but I thought maybe a few hundred hours dreaming Turns out it's actually quite a lot more than that so Pause a video here leave a comment letting me know how long you think we spend dreaming Right not sleeping because that's different. I mean I'm talking about dreaming Now the answer is actually very surprising And when I heard this it made me it made me want to make this video Just for everyone who's maybe a skeptic of lucid dreaming anyone who doesn't really see the point or maybe they just don't They don't think it's a skill worth learning or investing money into or You know giving their attention So consider this right this this is this is what blew my mind we dream Right. No, sorry. We let me start the beginning. We sleep for 20 to 25 years of our life roughly Which is obviously insane. That's huge, right? That's a huge number assuming the average lifespan, okay We dream for between 20 sometimes it's lower sometimes it's slightly more but about 20 years right dream sleeping Sorry, we spend 20 years sleeping Which is a huge amount a huge chunk of your life But more importantly the reason you came here is how long do you spend dreaming? Well, you we know that we have during an average night's sleep We have several sleep cycles consisting of Five sleep stages. Okay, the fifth stage is REM sleep, but we can dream throughout most of the stages but our dreams tend to Our dreams tend to be longest and most vivid during our REM sleep. So we're just going to focus on How long we spend dreaming in REM sleep? And that number that figure right for the average person is four years Four years dreaming right solidly four consecutive like constant years of just of dreaming now That might not sound like a long time to some of you obviously I instantly understood that and realized well, that's actually a huge amount of time But some people will be thinking okay. Well four years say if I live to be 90 for example 90 or 100 Four years is a relatively small amount But consider this right when you dream Your perception of time like the way you experience time passing in a dream is hugely accelerated You you can experience what feels like an hour of time in in a minute of a dream And you know, those of you who've been experimenting with lucid dreaming those of you who Well, most of you right? We've all had those dreams where we were woken up in the early hours of the morning Right, maybe there's a noise outside or maybe we just can't sleep. We go back to sleep You know, maybe we check our phone we check what time it is and say if it's like half four in the morning Okay We go back to sleep and then a minute later We wake up again and we have this incredible vivid memory of this dream We've just had and you know intertwining storylines and complex plots and characters and and it's only been a few minutes A few minutes of dreaming And it feels like it's been hours. So our perception of time in a dream is massively subjective, right? You can you can feel like you've had a lifetime of adventures in just a few months of dreams And that is what is very exciting to me. So when I say four years of dreams, that is an enormous length of time That most people 90 percent of people Don't utilize to its full potential the meaning they don't Let's leave lucid dreaming aside for a second. Okay 90 percent of people don't even remember the dreams they have So they might go to you know live to be a hundred or 90 or even let's say 60, right? And they've had years of dreams and most of those years of dreams have been forgotten before they've even woken up and that's Huge that's a huge amount of memories and experiences and things that you could have That you could remember, you know, or that you could have done you could have experienced But there's no other way of saying it really but most people they waste that okay They they either don't learn how to lose a dream or they just don't even learn how to remember their dreams in the first place So if you're watching this and you're thinking If you're at least mildly impressed with those figures, like I know I was Um consider investing or learning how to lose a dream sooner rather than later because that time is going to pass Anyway, you're going to no matter what you do Unless you somehow become a cyborg and manage to not need sleep or something like that You're going to be sleeping for 20 years And of those 20 years you're going to be dreaming for about three or four of them You won't be able to remember every dream you have that's just not realistic But you with practice with practice you can remember Vastly more of your dreams than the average person and it doesn't take much effort to be honest You just need to learn the right things And practice them in the right way So what I would say is if you if you want to take action now if you want to learn this stuff Just start Start looking online start reading things like how to remember more of my dreams How to lose a dream You know how to Just get more involved in the process start learning this stuff because it's not it's not that difficult But when you consider like three or four years of of consistent adventure, and let's be honest, right? Like I said time dilation um That three or four years Will actually in reality it will feel like 10 15 maybe even 50 years if you learn how to remember your dreams in detail and if you if you learn how to lose a dream It will feel like 50 years or more. Okay I already feel like I've had lifetimes of of experiences and memories in my lucid dreams And I've you know, I'm only 25 like I've I've still got most of my life to Have more dreaming experiences and and memories and things like this So I would advise you to just start learning start learning how to lose a dream Work on your dream recall And there's always a few comments that say this if if you think you can't if you think you don't have any dreams You are sadly wrong.
