 So I was working something quite scary out today and that is how much it's cost me to actually learn how to lose a dream Now when I say cost I actually I'm not including my time here Which obviously if I was working for the number of hours that I had spent learning how to lose a dream I would have earned, you know a lot more money. It would have cost me a lot of money but in terms of the cost of Actually learning so what books did I buy what courses have I brought what supplements have I tried what what lucid dreaming technology? Have I purchased all of these things added up? I Would say are in the region of two to three thousand pounds, which is about maybe four thousand dollars I don't know the exact conversion rate, but Long story short. It's a lot of money. I've spent a lot of money on lucid dreaming whether it's on, you know courses ebooks products various different things and That's not including time I probably spent the hundreds of hours learning how to lose a dream, which you know hundreds of hours Even if you're on minimum wage, that's a lot of money So the question is do I regret any of it and I have to say absolutely not it's cost me a lot of money It's taken a lot of time, but the point I am at now is a point where I realize it's probably a really annoying fan noise I don't know if you could even hear me the point I am at now is where I can have a pretty spontaneous lucid dream most of the time on most days of the week In fact, I can have a random lucid dream. Sometimes I'll go a few weeks without having hardly any lucid dreams And that's normal I think everyone goes through these sort of lucid dreaming ruts where they just aren't having any lucid dreams But that's that's normal, you know, you can't don't think about that But I see a lot of people who are maybe anxious about Investing any time or money into learning has a lucid dream They just want to do everything for free and instantly, you know right now and While you can do that I would always say to treat this dream with a bit more value It is a very valuable thing to do and if you if you can go to a company or you know if you could go to somewhere like a venue and They could they could give you like in the film total recall They could give you a memory of doing something incredible like being a secret agent on a moon mission or you know Exploring some alien world if they could give you that experience and those memories People would pay thousands for that maybe even tens of thousands because those memories are very tangible To you they feel very real to you and those experiences are priceless. So when I see people complaining about Even having to buy one ebook or one small course on lucid dreaming it blows my mind because this stuff is real Although you can learn it for free. Absolutely. You can of course, you know There are hundreds of thousands of articles and videos for free and you could learn it completely for free Right, but if there's something if there's any course or ebooks It's offering you something maybe that you can't get for free a collection of somebody's experience and Wisdom right that stuff is valuable. That is valuable and especially with lucid dreaming that is worth Probably far more than is being charged for it by anyone and I think there's although There's a lot of free information out there. I've always thought there's this aversion to spending money on lucid dreaming and although yes I on the one hand I do agree you can and should be able to learn it for free Of course again on the other hand if if someone is providing their experience or knowledge based on the actual Things they've done based on their based on actually them spending time and learning how to do something and then finding the best Optimized way of doing it and and giving you that information That is valuable at least it is to me and that's why I've spent so much money on lucid dreaming because I value people's Experiences and the knowledge people are imparting in these in these courses ebooks All these these things like this because summarizing somebody else's knowledge Yes, you could learn for free But if you have the option if you have the opportunity to spend say $30 $40 on a video course That an experienced lucid dreamer has made and in that course They're gonna share everything they've learned over ten years In a condensed video course like that is worth a lot because rather than you spending ten or twenty years of learning that stuff You can pay $40 now and Get all of the information Right now, so I don't really know why I made this video I just I kind of wanted to just get off my chest and just explain maybe how much I've spent on lucid dreaming and just Just kind of address this idea that Everything should be free. Yes, I agree that it should be free, but if you want more Okay, if you want to save yourself time because time is the real thing here If you want to save yourself those ten years or even five years even if it could save you one year of your life of Looking things up researching Finding things out for yourself if you could save all of that time and it's only gonna cost you 40 dollars Even if it would cost you $400 that's worth it to me because a year of my time is worth a lot more than $400 It's certainly worth a lot more than $30. Anyway, if you've got this far into the video leave a comment saying Hot air balloon and we'll see what people think of that I think it's quite funny how when people get to the end of the video and hear me say like Comment water balloon or or air balloon or something and then other people sort of skim it or maybe watch the first minute And then see the comments and they're like why is there? Dozens of people commenting water balloon or was I I see to comment yesterday something silly wasn't it? Anyway, that's it for now guys done
