 Welcome to this lucid dreaming tutorial for beginners Now if you're a complete beginner to lucid dreaming you've never done it before or even if you've you know You've tried it a few times, but you've not been able to get it to work then this is the video for you So basically we're going to focus in this video on four different things Which kind of come underneath the umbrella of the mild technique Which is the mnemonic induced lucid dream now the reason I'm going to focus on that is because there was actually a study Done quite recently which I'll try and if I can remember the name of it I'll link to it in the description, but basically when I looked through it It seemed to suggest that mild the technique of you know mnemonic induced was more effective than almost any other technique Over the course of the research the study So that's why I want to focus on this and if you're a beginner Then this is the most important thing you can learn is the mild technique Don't you know waste your time with other techniques Don't try and you know do everything all at once and overwhelm yourself And that's how you're going to get to lucid dream as easily as possible, especially if you're a beginner Okay, so let's just get right into it the first part of the mild technique involves dream recall So you kind of need to have your dream recall dialed in you need to actually be remembering your dreams And I know that sounds you know kind of self-explanatory keep a dream journal right down in the dream journal every morning What you can remember you know keep it by your bed highlight different dream signs and different things I have another video about dream journals Which you can find on my channel you need to get to the point where you can remember at least one dream per night And that's kind of the foundation that I would suggest you learn before you move on to the other things Okay, the next one is reality checks So a reality check is where you test whether you're dreaming or not You can do this by holding out your hand trying to push your finger through the palm of your other hand if it goes through Obviously, you can conclude that you are dreaming if it doesn't go through then you might be awake You'll get more accurate with this over time as you kind of practice and Get better at doing these reality checks next we have lucid affirmations now you can call this whatever you want Okay lucid dreaming mantras affirmations, you know Whatever you want to call them basically It's just going to be sentences or phrases that you repeat to yourself over and over again that you want to be true It's one of the most powerful ways of changing your subconscious beliefs an example is I can lucid dream I will control my dreams. I am lucid. I am awake whatever Sentence you want to be true and you need to phrase it in a way that makes sense to you You need to be coming from your own words so that you will really it will really root itself in your subconscious beliefs and Actually work. There's no kind of set in stone rule for how many times you should repeat the mantra to yourself the Affirmation, you know, I like to do it kind of ten times a day between five and ten times a day You just repeat to yourself. It takes about 30 seconds, right? Just repeat this the phrase is over and over to yourself again and again and next just visualize your dream You know, just imagine and visualize the dream that you want to have now when I post things like this I normally get comments saying like what if I can't visualize what if I have a condition where I can't really easily visualize things Well, if you do all of the other things then you should be able to get a lot of success from this technique Even if you can't visualize But there are techniques and ways you can learn to actually teach yourself to visualize or at least make it easier and more Likely now for beginners. This is probably the most effective lucid dreaming technique I know of and it's certainly the easiest one to actually get results from Because it's been proven, you know, as I told you about this in this study It's been proven that that technique is more effective than any other technique So if you want to focus on one thing and if you're like me and you like kind of biohacking and optimizing things It makes sense to go for just the most effective technique which in this case is the mile So if you only have a limited amount of time if you only want to practice for a few minutes a day Just focus on the mild because it's going to give you results faster than any other technique So I hope that makes sense I would love to hear what you think about this technique So leave a comment and by the way, if you want to check out my other videos, please go and click on my channel There's lots of tutorials there for beginners teaching you how to lose a dream how to meditate how to do all of these things So I hope you enjoy that and I'll see you next time
