 So something I quite often get asked is about blind-year-old beats for lucid dreaming Meditation tracks music tracks and you know do they work my advice on this is kind of split into two on the one hand You know when you listen to music tracks when you listen to these isochronic tones by neural beats Meditation music let's say sleep tracks and there are thousands of them if you look here on YouTube There are so many music tracks for lucid dreaming and all of this stuff And I've even made some myself they help you lucid dream But the problem the reason that I I don't really think you should listen to them at least and not until you're actually more experienced The lucid dreaming the problem is to do with your mindset. Everything is about mindset. It's about your positioning if you are Doing what most people do when you go to YouTube and you think I want to lucid dream So you type in lucid dreaming and then the only thing that comes up in the suggestions is lucid dreaming music And the idea behind that is the idea is that if you just listen to this track You're gonna lose a dream and you don't have to do anything You can just sit back or lay back go to sleep and you'll lose a dream. This is not the case It might be at the beginning So what happens is at the very beginning if you're lucky you just by setting the intention and listening to the track You will actually have a lucid dream and that's great It gets more people into the topic it gets people interested and hopefully you then want to learn more and so on right But a lot of people will try and put a track on start listening to it and nothing happens And they might go weeks or months of doing this right trying to listen to the track They try and lose a dream nothing happens and they're back to square one Why is that the idea behind it is if I just listen to this track? I'll lose a dream and I won't have to do anything. Well, that's not quite true You do have to do something you have to change your mindset You have to practice skills like reality checks. You have to meditate You have to increase your self-awareness learn how to write your dreams down be consistent Right be actually like predictable and consistent So where you're doing the same thing every day, even if you don't want to even if one day you wake up And you just you can't be bothered to write your dreams down. You don't want to actually do it Well part of lucid dreaming is you need to do it anyway because it's being consistent That will build the habit and once you have the habit. That's what actually makes you lose a dream So the problem with the tracks with the binary beats is that you look at them you put them on and It's almost like you give up your commitment and responsibility And you just give away your power to the track and you just think well Even if it's subconscious you just think the track will make me lose a dream and it becomes a crutch And this happens across many areas of life We develop and rely on these crutches which stop you from doing the actual work the actual things required to get the result You know another very common one is with like self-help or motivational videos now don't get me wrong It's fine to watch a self-help video or a motivational speech or something But if you want to change nine times out of ten you already know what you need to do It's just a case of actually doing it consistently and every day what people do instead is that you wake up and you think right I'm gonna change today's the day right and you keep watching these videos these motivational speeches these TikToks or whatever and before you know it's lunchtime Then you go for a walk then it's dinnertime and you haven't actually done anything you haven't actually Changed in any way physically or mentally and this is the same thing with lucid dreaming to do it You need to basically stop watching the videos and do the things you know you need to do So what are those things reality checks writing your dreams down? meditating removing distractions and artificial dopamine sources anything which releases dopamine in an unnatural way things like TikTok things like drugs recreational drugs alcohol things like this right artificial Unnatural things that release dopamine in a way where it makes everything else seem gray in comparison if you're watching Highly engaging very distracting TikToks all day long to your brain. That's like crack basically It's like this addictive high dopamine releasing thing where it's always going to be more interesting and more exciting than sitting down for two hours and Planning out your year or you know anything else you could think about it's always more exciting to just flick on the TikTok or put turn Netflix on whatever the case may be so you need to basically reduce those dopamine releasing things Or at least save them until the end of the day where you've already achieved something So that is why with a bony roll beats. It's like a crutch It's like if you just took painkillers every day or it just did something where you just constantly you're only relying on this This other thing instead of actually experiencing, you know, what's actually happening. Hopefully this is making sense My point is don't rely on these videos to actually lucid dream instead focus on building the skills and Actually doing the thing.
