 Alright guys, so I'm sorry that it's been such a long time since my last video. I've had a lot of things going on I've been very busy. However today, we've got a question from our buddy Cleo and he says What is the difference between expecting something to happen in a lucid dream and willing it to happen? There is a subtle difference, I'll explain in a minute. For example I want to make something float in front of my eyes in a lucid dream Telekinesis for example moving objects with your mind. I try to visualize that happening But it doesn't happen because I'm not Expecting it to happen. Does this mean my expectation is more powerful than willing the dream to do what you want? If so, why? Now to answer the question first and foremost Yes, expectation is much more powerful than willing something to happen because in a dream your mind creates the rules if you will I'd put quotes with that because there aren't really any rules of the dream other than your expectations Based on your waking life So if you throw an apple in waking life, gravity would dictate that the apple will fall to the ground That is hardwired into your subconscious mind from birth because it's what you see happening around you It's observed regularities and the way things behave. Okay So you have these expectations based on what happens in waking life if you throw something it falls This is gravity, you know, there are other expectations for example show social norms if you walk down the street naked in waking life people are gonna take notice and it's gonna be It's gonna be Unusual you understand so therefore in the dream if you do the same thing your expectation is based on your experience so People in the dream your other dream characters will look at you in a weird way This is only because you expect them subconsciously to do that Okay, so if you want to make something float in front of you telekinesis moving objects around with your mind It's a very fun thing to do something. I do all the time in my dreams You need to expect it to happen And so it's all about belief you need to really believe that you have the power to move the object with your mind Before you can do it if you don't believe this you won't be able to so I think a lot of people think that willing something to happen is The most important thing in the dream. You just want something to happen. So it should happen, right? But it's a bit more complex than that. Okay, your subconscious mind creates the dream based on your experience of real life So if you've experienced something in real life that usually happens for example gravity and In real life, you wouldn't have been able to move objects with your mind because it's physically impossible So therefore you have a subconscious expectation that you won't be able to do it in order to do it you need to overcome this expectation and the way you do this is through telling yourself through mantras through telling yourself that you can do it and Believing that you have the ability to do it And the only real way to do that is just practice and repetition and you just keep going and you keep going until you eventually can do it It's got to the point now in my dreams. I Expect that I can do anything. So if I want to move a car with my mind I literally have to just look at it and expect it to move because that's where I'm focusing my attention That's where I'm directing my focus for the car to be so once you get to that level of skill it's really quite easy to do things like that in a dream, but the Massive stumbling block and I mean massive when you're a beginner is expectation People assume that just because they're in a lucid dream. They have complete control over it You need to overcome your expectations based on your subconscious Experience of the world around you. So I hope this answers your question Clio If you have any other questions, please send them in I've decided to have a little bit of music on in the background based on I think someone left a comment saying it'd be nice to have some music in the background So let me know what you think about that.
