 Alright so I thought what I'd do in this video is just a bit more of like a personal thing about me because I feel like this channel we're almost going to hit 100,000 subscribers soon. I feel like this is a really good community for lucid dreaming but I also feel like I've not really shared much essentially about who I am as a person. So and I feel like a lot of the videos they're quite, I don't know, they're quite formal but at the same time they're kind of a bit serious aren't they? They're sort of just me telling you a load of information. So I think the best thing is if I just go through some questions I guess that I've had from the comments I'm not going to say who's said the questions because I can't be bothered to read them all out but yeah so a few questions I've had are as follows. How did I get into lucid dreaming? Well I guess the main way that I got into lucid dreaming was as a kid I was confined to my room I was misbehaved or something like that and I was for some reason I was like I had to stay in my room like as a sort of punishment I guess. What I did was I had so much energy like I had all this energy and you know motivation to do stuff as a kid like you know it's like when you're a kid you're bouncing off the walls essentially but because I was confined to my room and I couldn't use any screens I couldn't use my phone or something like that I don't think I even had a phone actually at that point I had all this energy and like I had to put it somewhere right so I just ended up falling asleep you know I just ended up having a nap in the middle of the day and what that did because I had all this energy like I was you know bouncing off the walls I wanted to do things I wanted to go outside and play climb trees and that sort of thing but I had all this energy and I didn't know what to do with it so I went to sleep I had a nap and it turns out that energy turned into my first lucid dream it was it was like an accident I guess yeah so that is how I had my first lucid dream by accident I didn't learn how to do it I didn't research it I didn't actually know what it was until I until after it happened and then it's only when it actually happened that I was like okay well something was you know strange there that was that wasn't a normal dream and so from that point on I researched it and you know went down that path number two actually I'm gonna go sort of off piece here a bit I'm not necessarily just gonna answer questions so few things that maybe you didn't know about me well I like to fly drones so a drone is like this is a drone well it's a small one anyway this is like a tiny little indoor drone and so what I do is I fly these things around it's like my I guess because ever since I was a kid I've always had this dream of flying you know of either wingsuit diving or just levitating or whatever and this is the closest I can get to doing that on a daily basis you know unless I actually became a wingsuit diver and I was somehow able to do it to wingsuit dive every day those of you who don't know it's very expensive and hard to organize whereas this thing you know I can put these there's these sort of goggles that you wear that enable you to see what the camera sees and I fly around the house and it's like I'm flying you know it's the closest I can get when I'm awake you know when I'm not literally dreaming or when I'm not doing a wingsuit dive which I still haven't done yet I want to do it but in order to do that you have I think you have to have about 200 skydives before you can even start training to do wingsuit diving so it's a very expensive and long process so one of the things you probably noticed recently I'd say it's especially in the last six months to a year is that I really like traveling so I like going on random trips I like exploring places you know going to new countries and things places I've never been to and in many ways that's sort of taken me away from this channel I've felt like I feel like I've neglected this channel to a large degree because I've just been traveling I just haven't essentially I just haven't been motivated enough to make videos for whatever reason and I'll get into that in a second but yeah I like traveling I like exploring new places and you know seeing new things meeting new people and that the whole the whole traveling thing you know so another question I get asked quite a lot is what do my tattoos mean now I have as you've probably noticed quite a few but in terms of what they mean it's hard to explain you know if I explained what they meant this video be quite long but generally I get something that relates to either an idea or a concept that I that means a lot to me or that I believe in or I get them as like a filler and what I mean by that is like say for example with a sleeve those of you who have sleeves know that you can't you can't always fill that sleeve with things that are meaningful to you so for example you know in the middle of the sleeve in between two pieces that might mean something to you might have something like a rose or you know some shading to fill it in so in that sense yeah some of them are just there because they look cool I just like the look of them other ones have more personal meaning but in they do most of them mean something to me another thing which a lot of people seem to ask is why why don't I upload very frequently and I guess it sort of comes in waves you know for me I like to so like I might have a burst of inspiration where I want to film loads of videos I've got loads of things to talk about I want to make one every day and then I might have like you know a period of reflex a reflection you know where I go back in to like my my own personal world you know I read things I research and meditate all this stuff and I think a lot of youtubers miss that and they try and sort of pump out they try and sort of pump out content like consistently every day and some of them are very good at this like PewDiePie he makes a video you know more or less every day and it's always fairly high quality whereas for youtubers that share information or you know that are teaching something or are sharing yeah I guess you could say information it's harder to do that because there's only a limited amount of information out there on a certain on a given topic and so really it's a it's about finding a way of expressing the same information but in different ways and also incorporating it into different people's problems like for example when I answer people's questions it's like I'm applying fairly fundamental principles of you know how lucid dreaming works to their specific problem and trying to work out like what how I can answer the question so so by doing all of that what I'm saying is you can't make a video every single day at least you know you can but I try and I naturally work in sort of these bursts where I'll have like loads of videos and then maybe nothing for a few weeks you know I'm trying to work on it and make it less like that but that's just how it is that's how it's played out so far what camera do I use well it's sort of varies depends whether I'm traveling or not but usually I'll film on this camera here which is a Sony RX100 and but before that I used the one of the older Sony models I think it was a Sony DSCWX 500 which is the one with a crazy zoom lens which I just didn't need so I've now sold that camera I now use this Sony or if I'm traveling and you'll notice that you'll notice difference right because the audio won't be as good I'll use this camera which is the Sony FDR X3000 now that's mainly for travel blogs and stuff because it's got that super wide-angle lens but what I'm doing recently is I'm actually experimenting with doing like point-of-view videos with this camera so that I can if I'm in like a crazy place you know if I am somewhere which could look a bit like a dream then I'll show you that in with that camera so it's like you're sort of almost there with me okay I think that I'll do for this video I can't remember how many questions I've answered but I'm sure there's been a few anyway yes leave a comment let me and in fact I'll tell you what leave a comment letting me know what you want to know and then that way I'll make another video and actually answer a lot more questions so leave a comment on this video letting me know what you want to be answered
