 All right, today we're going to look at lucid dreaming exercises and things you can do to help you lucid dream and just Have a bit more luck For want of a better world have a bit more luck with your with your lucid dreaming because there's been a few people emailing me saying I don't know what to do. You know, I'm having trouble lucid dreaming I I can't seem to make it work for me So these are a few exercises that I've sort of thought about which I know will help you So here we go. The first one is reality check anchoring now when you normally do a reality check You are testing whether you're awake or asleep So an example would be to pinch your nose and try and breathe through your nose in a dream You can in waking life. You can't so what you should do is anchor the reality check to something in waking life So that you remember to do it and this is actually training what's called your prospective memory Which is your memory for things in the future. Okay, so retrospect is obviously looking back looking in the past prospects Is the future is the future tense. So your prospective memory Would an example of using your prospective memory would be like this So you'd say right every time I hear someone laughing I'll do a reality check Okay, and then in the future when you hear someone laughing it triggers something in your mind Which says actually I need to do a reality check now because you remember your intention from the past I hope this is making sense. So a good thing to anchor a reality check to would be whenever you hear someone laughing You could also say Random objects so you could say right whenever I see a flower or whenever I hear Someone shouting whenever I handle money these these sorts of triggers if you will you can use these and say right every time So and so happens. I'll do a reality check and this will actually train you so that you're more likely to have the reality check in your dream It's a really cool little trick You can you can use to to actually get the reality check to show up in your dream Because that's one of the main things that people have difficulty with is actually Getting a reality text to show up in your dream Sorry about that had someone randomly try and call me right in the middle of me filming Typical, okay, so exercise to imagine what the lucid dream would be like so this is a visualization technique you are going to lay down before you go to bed and Vividly imagine what you want the lucid dream to be like Okay, and this is going to kind of tie into another one I'm going to tell you in a minute, but just lay there and really think about the details. What can you what can you? Feel what can you hear? What will you be able to do and say what will be around you? Think about all of the details that will come into play in a dream and it'll help you to actually have the lucid dream Exercise three Practice superpowers now. Let's say you would like to be able to fly in a lucid dream Spend a few minutes every day imagining what it will be like to fly so watch videos I think the closest thing you can get to flying for this example is wingsuit diving So I would go into YouTube type in wingsuit diving and watch people do it and really you know Put it full screen and really pay attention to it Imagine what it would feel like and actually put yourself in that place in your mind So you're thinking about exactly how it's going to feel and this is sort of preparing yourself for the experience of the lucid dream You're preparing yourself to have that experience So exercise four and this is going back to something I always come back to on these videos and that is meditation So I'm gonna say meditate before you go to bed for about 10 to 20 minutes I usually do it for about half an hour and What this will do is it will get you in the right frame of mind for a lucid dream Okay, it will get you in the the state of mind, which is self-aware focused and clear So this is a really good exercise to do I would advise everyone trying to have a lucid dream Well anyone who's struggling who can't get results meditate before you go to bed You can also do it in the morning, but for lucid dreaming. It's going to work better in the evening So exercise five and this is kind of related to the first one And this is think about a lucid dreaming storyline So much like you would lay there and visualize what you want the dream to be like take it a step further and Lay there and think about what the storyline would evolve to be like So hopefully that's those exercises have helped you out if you have any other problems Please leave a comment on the video and Or send me an email make sure you're subscribed to this YouTube channel So you can get updates and if you'd like to support me on patreon.
