 All right today's video we're gonna teach you a technique and that technique is something I should have spoken a long time ago about and that is the wild technique the wake induced lucid dreaming technique And I have mentioned this briefly in other videos But I don't really feel like I've been at the attention it deserves Because it is probably one of the most effective lucid dreaming techniques And it's the easiest way for beginners who don't really know a lot about lucid dreaming to be able to start On on a level that's comfortable for them and actually start controlling their dreams from scratch So If you don't already meditate, I'm not going to go into much detail to that But I would advise you to go to my website house on lucid.com and sort of read a few articles that I have about meditation on there Okay, so I'm just going to leave it like that for now So we're going to just get straight into it the waking juice lucid dreaming technique Is a technique in which you lay down ready to go to sleep and you You're going to let your body fall asleep while your mind stays awake And it's much easier said than done Okay, this is something I did struggle with a lot when I started out Because the temptation is for you to just let your mind go to sleep as well You just fall asleep and wake up in the morning and you're like, well, what happened? I was trying to have a lucid dream and I just fell asleep and of course, this is very annoying This is a common problem but with a little bit of practice and a little bit of Practicing the right thing. I believe you can you can master it. You can get it sorted out Okay, so the first step of waking juice lucid dream And before I go any further I'd just like to explain that a waking juice lucid dream can be done At the start of sleep when you're first going to to go to sleep or It can be combined with the wake back to bed technique Which is where you wake up two hours before you would normally wake up in the morning And you target your your deepest period of REM sleep rapid eye movement sleep It can be done at either time. Okay, it's easier to do this In the morning Just before you would normally wake up. So maybe say if you would normally wake up at seven do this at five I am okay So it's a bit of an early start But that's going to be the easiest time to do the waking juice lucid dream technique However, I'm just going to go over how to do the technique and then you can decide Whether you want to do it first thing as you try and go to sleep Which can work for some people or whether you want to do it Combined with the wake back to bed technique in the morning when it's most likely to to work Okay, but obviously as I said, this is different for everyone. So try both Try both maybe do two days of one and two days of another and keep automating until one of them works Okay, which it will because it's a it's a fairly common technique so step one lay down And go sort of get comfortable relax all of your muscles And try not to focus on anything in particular Um, if you've never meditated, this will be quite difficult because you'll be laying there and your mind will be racing You'll be thinking about all sorts of things and the most common thing is you'll be thinking Am I lucid dreaming yet? Okay, you'll be concentrating on what you're trying to do, which is natural Okay, it's it's normal However, in order for this to work, you need to actually relax beyond that. You need to literally not have anything on your mind Uh, or or at least get to the point where things are coming to you coming to your attention But you're not focusing on them. You're more letting them drift over you So it's like you'll be you're aware of the thoughts, but you're not interacting with them internally Okay, and this is obviously much easier if you meditate because that's what meditation is about It's about detaching from those thoughts and being aware of them But not actually interacting with them or giving them emotional attention so Step one as I said relax Relax all of your muscles. You can you can do this whichever way is most comfortable for you Okay, some people will start at their head and they'll sort of focus on each body part going down to their toes and relax each part individually And this is I think this is known as sweeping sweeping relaxation And something like that. There's lots of different names for it. Some people will sort of sink into their bed and just relax everything at the same time Okay, this is a technique I like to use because I find it works faster for me, but everyone's different So as I said try try it out see which one works for you And yeah, other people like to listen to sort of audio tracks you can get by neural beats Um, I'm sure you've heard me talk about those before and they can help you relax as well There are all sorts of ways to help with this step. Okay, you can get incense in your room You can get lavender spray for your pillow. You can get all sorts of things a memory foam mattress helps Um blackout curtains will help you as well If there's lots of light for example from street lights and stuff outside blackout curtains will help with this Um, but the basic step is here just to find the most comfortable way for you To relax all of your muscles and try not to think or focus on anything in particular at this point. Okay, step two Stay in step one for about 10 minutes or 20 minutes It varies from person to person depending on you know, what you've done that day How tired you are your natural, um hormone levels in terms of your wake up and your go to sleep hormones Um, but step two is just about staying in that state for 10 to 20 minutes. Okay So you don't need to set a timer. You don't need to be um focusing on on it in any way But i'm i'm just explaining step two because then you know sort of what's happening Step two is that you stay in that state for 10 to 20 minutes The way the way you'll know that you've done that is that you'll start to see what's going to happen in step three Which is uh sleep hypnagogia. I think i've pronounced that right and that's where um images shapes colors lines Whatever will start to flash in front of your eyes Uh, sort of on the back of your eyelids and they won't be at first. They won't be distinct specific things It will more be sort of like the uh the feeling of a shape and I know that sounds weird to hear um, but it will be more sort of just about the um the idea of a a particular place or a shape uh patterns And these these sort of things will flash on your eyelids and at this point It's important to let them wash over you if you try and focus on them That's going to keep you your body awake and you're not really going to be able to do it as fast as you could Um, so just let the images and shapes sort of wash over you And after a while you'll notice that you've completely detached from your body You're no longer aware of your body and the feeling of your body in the bed Or either that or you will be aware of Sort of like a heavy weight pressing down on your body or like Some people describe it as like a lead blanket being slowly rolled up from your feet to your head Um, and this is the start of sleep paralysis, and I'm sure you've heard of sleep paralysis There's all sorts of stories about that. I've mentioned it a few times on my videos before Sleep paralysis is completely normal And it's what happens normally to everyone every night. Um, but usually sleep paralysis happens after you've already fallen asleep and after you're already unconscious But what it is basically is you are paralyzing your muscles So it can it can sound scary But it's naturally it naturally happens to everyone so that you don't act out your dreams in the night So that if you're running you're not going to start kicking wildly at your partner next to your the wall or whatever So sleep paralysis happens naturally to everyone But because you're focusing on staying awake Well, I say focusing because you're you're trying to stay awake and you're keeping your mind occupied and you're being aware You're going to sort of be awake during that process Okay, so sometimes you'll notice it sometimes you won't but if you do notice it if you do feel like there's a heavy weight pressing down on you or even if you start to sort of Um Hear noises or feel sensations. Don't worry about those. Okay, they can seem a bit unusual Especially if it's your first time. Just don't worry about those. Ignore those And if you do have to think about them at all, just think you're on the right track to becoming lucid. Okay, it's it's a It's a good thing because it means you're doing the right thing. It means you're starting to become lucid and enter a dream Okay, so don't focus on them too much These things will happen and then after about 10 minutes after that You will start to be able to think about entering the dream And the way you're going to do this is you're going to focus on the feeling Of the dream So instead of trying to tangibly reach out and grab something that you see Like I said, you'll be seeing shapes and patterns at this point Instead of trying to reach out and tangibly grab something Really try and just let the dream form around you Okay, and this is easier. Again, if you practice meditation, I know I keep going on about it Um, but just sort of let the dream form around you and so Maybe focus on something in the distance and then sort of Try and see things in your peripheral vision And this is something you can practice in waking life as well If you look at something right in the in the very distance, okay focus on that And then try and notice things around that using your peripheral vision And this will help you in the lucid dream because your peripheral vision is Going to be sort of what's constructing the dream around you And at this point it is very important To not panic and just relax because if you if you try and focus on something or if you get emotionally attached or think Oh, I can I can see something over there. I'm going to run and try and interact with that The dream is very fragile at this stage When the dream is forming you're you're in that very delicate fragile state between being awake You know being in your bed aware of yourself laying there and seeing these shapes and being in the dream So it's important that in this transitionaries Transitionary stage. I think I said the right You are not going to be too emotionally engaged with what's going on because you'll collapse the dream and you'll wake up And this is very annoying. This has happened to me a lot of times So you want to Be relaxed let the dream form around you and then Naturally after a minute or so you will be in the dream and you will find that you've gone completely You've gone to a completely lucid state from a waking state and hence the name waking juice lucid dream It's a solid transition from wake from being awake to being awake in your mind But in the dream So I hope this is sort of cleared up how to do a waking juice lucid dream for someone do you? um As I said, you can decide when to do this this video has gone on for over 10 minutes I'm going to sort of cut this short here But yeah, you can decide to do this either as you first go to sleep Or in the morning two hours before you would normally wake up when it's most likely because this is targeting your REM sleep Which as I said before it's the most likely time for a lucid dream an ove that's one thing So let me know how you get on leave a comment in the script in the um Saying it again now leave a comment in the uh comment section Uh go and subscribe to my website howtolucid.com And obviously subscribe to this youtube channel if you want more see you in the next video
