 Have you ever entered a lucid dream and then found that because you got so excited during the dream you just woke yourself up? I Don't know you probably have because a lot of guys who email me They'll they'll say I entered a lucid dream. I I did what I needed to do Performed a reality check did a technique and then as soon as I entered the lucid dream as soon as I got lucid I just woke up and they're saying what do I do like why why is this happening? Well, it's happening for a number of reasons. So firstly when you normally when you have a lucid dream It's something new to you like this is not something that lots of people do Obviously lots of people do lucid dream, but not the majority of people that majority of people have normal dreams They don't remember them most of the time and then they just wake up and that's that sleep is just sort of like a mini coma for them It sounds fairly boring, but that's what most of the world are doing. They're just sort of sleeping through their dreams However lucid dreamers want something more. Okay, you guys you want to be doing exciting things during your dreams Having sex with whoever you want flying teleporting exploring alien planets or whatever Getting inspiration or just doing whatever you want Okay, the problem is and this is a fairly serious problem for lucid dreamers That the lucid dreaming state, okay? is so close to Conscious consciousness to being awake that just one tiny thing one tiny action or one one thought can push you over the edge and Make you wake up Now this is a huge problem for lucid dreamers And it's something that I've had trouble with in the past Especially when I first started out Because you don't want to wake up often you're in lucid dream and you're doing something exciting like climbing a mountain or flying or whatever it is You don't want to wake up. You want to have you want to continue that dream. You want to have that dream play out So what do you do? Well? There are two things you could do Probably more but we'll cover the main two Firstly if you meditate during the day you'll find it easier to stay in that focused state in the dream because you'll have been practicing the the act of of keeping your mind aware and sort of calm and relaxed and focused That's the first most effective way that you can stay in a lucid dream and not wake yourself up The second way is you could try taking a supplement Now there are a number of supplements you could try. I'll try and link to some in the description But ideally you want to be taking a supplement that That contains Koli. So this is gonna help you with your dream recall dream vividness And ideally you want to have one that doesn't contain galantamine simply because galantamine can be quite rough on your system It can be quite difficult to digest people report that they feel like nauseous or you know They have headaches or the sort of things that might wake you up So in order to stay in a lucid dream for longer and not wake yourself up You want something with Koli and a few other other ingredients as well I'll make sure there's a link in the description for you guys to to check that out Yeah, so you want to make sure that you're if you're doing something exciting Which hopefully you are because that's the whole point Just don't get too engaged in it emotionally Okay, so obviously if you have sex in a lucid dream, you're gonna nine times out of ten wake yourself up It's it's a very exciting thing that is gonna push you over the edge of being awake and lucid dreaming That's like a really fine line between being lucid in a dream and Being awake or having your mind wake up so much that you just end the dream dream collapses. You wake up and your day starts so it's important to sort of Understand that before you do something in a lucid dream that you think might wake you up So if you for example are having a fight with someone That's obviously quite stimulating and so that could wake you up Whereas if you were instead lucid and you were reading through a map Okay, or you were talking to someone in a bar paddling down a lake in Thailand or so, I don't know some whatever the case maybe If you're doing something less Arousing you're gonna stay in the lucid dream for longer Like I've had lucid dreams where I've been lucid But I just didn't fancy doing anything exciting like flying or fighting or whatever it is And so I just sat in a bar which it might sound kind of sad or weird But I was just talking to this dream character Which the conversation? I'm not gonna go into because it's quite personal But it was a very stimulating Interesting conversation that I had with this dream character And so I was quite happy to just sit in the bar in my dream and talk And so in that particular dream I was able to stay in it for what seemed like hours and hours Obviously it wasn't ours in in real life time, but it felt like ours, right? So my point here is that the longer you want to stay in a lucid dream You want to try and do things that are less engaging So if you want to have the exciting dreams, that's great But they'll last typically less time than if you just had a lucid dream about walking down a path So it's kind of annoying, but the more exciting and arousing the dream The shorter it will be And there is sort of like a balancing act you can do here You can you can lengthen it by by taking certain supplements by listening to brainwave entrainment by neural beats There's links for that in the description if you guys are interested But most of the time okay as a as a rule of thumb the majority of the time is what I'm saying The more exciting the dream the less time you'll have in it
