 Alright guys, so firstly the thing you'll notice is my mental little set up here. It's a bit messy. I've got my drawing batteries on charge I'm gonna be flying around today Anyway today's question is from somebody who would like to remain anonymous and they say hi Stefan I'm subscribed to your YouTube channel and I'd like to answer these questions I'd like you to answer these questions in a video, but I would like to stay anonymous Number one. How can I do a layer four and even a layer three? Lucidreams without the risk of accidentally changing my thoughts and beliefs Number two. Are there any dangerous risks similar to this? This pose is an interesting question and an interesting concept and that concept is Can you change your beliefs and thoughts in a lucidream? And if so, how easy is it to do it? Can you do it by accident or is it something you have to really intend to happen? Now I'm going to share my personal experiences with this which are as follows It with lucidreaming and through lucidreams I have managed to change a lot of my personal beliefs thoughts and my belief system which makes up my sort of Personality and what I believe about the world, but it's not something I've done just in a lucidream It's something I've done in waking life as well so you can't you can use lucidreaming and I'll get on to the layers in a second because the layers do have an impact to you know What effects it will have on you you can use lucid dreaming to affect and even bolster your beliefs or you know thoughts about the world But you this is very deliberate It's you know, it's very rarely spontaneous and it very rarely happens You know by accident as this person has described You can rarely accidentally change your beliefs want to be able to change your belief, right? It requires so much willpower and practice and persistence Because beliefs are really strong, you know, if you have if you hold a certain belief about something The longer you've held that belief the harder it will be to change And you can't just accidentally have a lucid dream and like wake up in the morning with that lucid dream without belief changed in Most cases now you can do it You certainly can do it, but it's not an accident some sort of persistent sort of action moving towards this It's not something you can just do accidentally in one group in in one lucidream now the different layers of lucidream Let me explain how they tie into this. We I've spoken before about the layer one two three and four I don't think I've made a layer five video just yet, but it's coming now layer four is Essentially just a lucid dream a dream in which you're aware that you're dreaming and you're in control of what you do And to some degree you're in control of the dream world as well You are not in control of your subconscious mind Because you can't be right. It's your subconscious. You're not you're very rarely You know, there are exceptions and it's sort of like a It's a it's a an emerging field of study, but you can't really control your subconscious mind You can influence it and you can definitely work with it, but you can't you can't directly control it because otherwise you'd be able to do things like Voluntarily raise your body temperature or decide to digest your food slower or faster You can influence those things, you know Like for example with digestion if you decide to go and do something that will release adrenaline Like a skydive or like putting yourself in danger that will Temporarily slow down your digestion because you have that fight-or-flight response and your reptilian brain takes over and you slow down your digestion Why you deal with the threat You know, we know that stuff we can influence our subconscious mind in that way But we can't control it consciously was just our thoughts alone and for that reason going back to the original question You can't very easily and you certainly can't accidentally change a fundamental belief that you hold It's gonna take a bit more work and it's gonna take a bit more consistency. It can be done, but it can't be done overnight So don't worry about that don't worry about having a lucid dream and then waking up like I've completely changed person Although it you know a profound lucid dream is going to change you in some way It might change your outlook on a certain person or a certain idea, but it really will completely change a belief system You know it can but it is it's rare is what I'm saying It's not gonna happen all the time so regarding the different layers obviously the higher up the layers you go the more Lucid you become right up until layer five which and even beyond layer five, which is like super lucidity where you're real you're hyper alert you're hyper aware and It requires a balancing of your hormones, which you know it when we get on to this advanced stuff in later videos It requires a balancing of your hormones meaning it has to be done at a certain time of night There's not really any way around that it has to be done during your longest period of REM sleep when you're just starting to produce The right amount of serotonin that's going to get ready to wake you up and increase your alertness for the day But you've also got a significant amount of melatonin still in your system enough to keep you asleep and sort of like sedated I guess you could say Where you're going to be held in the lucid dream and it's going to be a deep Immersive experience that's for advanced stuff, right? I'm not going to get on to that just yet because I'm still trying to figure out like My audience on this channel and how how far you've progressed in lucid dreaming and you know What sort of level you're at and by the way, it would really help me out if you could actually just comment letting me know in a sentence or two how lucid you you feel how Advanced you feel as a lucid dream. I do you think you're a beginner Where you maybe have and by the way, don't rate this on how many lucid dreams you have I want you to describe your level of skill based on when you have lucid dreams What level of lucidity are you attaining not how many you have but what level of skill you're attaining in the lucid dream So meaning like how stable is the dream? Are you definitely lucid? Can you like work with the dream and interact with different things and set yourself challenges? Can you for example enter a lucid dream with the with the intention of doing something specific? Or do you just have a lucid dream and end up having sex with someone? These things are going to be useful for me to know so I know what level of skill I Need to produce videos for in the future because as you can imagine with almost sixty thousand subscribers It's hard to produce a video that's going to be useful to every one of you that being said I'm sure there are most of you just watch these videos anyway Just because you you know like my hair flicking around or you like hearing my rants. I don't know I'm back to the original question. It's not as dangerous as maybe it sounded when I first posed a question You can't accidentally change a belief system You're even if you want to do something positive like removing a phobia or improving your confidence This stuff won't happen overnight It's still going to take time anything you do in lucid dreaming will take at least a few try You know or at least a few attempts to get any sort of results from it But don't let that put you off. I mean like when I started it was difficult at first But then the more advanced you get the more you can use it for and eventually it just becomes like becomes part of your life just like a tool Just like you know that going to bed early and getting a good night's sleep is good for you You know that eating vegetables and drinking enough water is good for you And you just sort of use these things as tools like if you want to feel better you drink more water You eat healthier you go to the gym you work out you see your friends You do things that you know will make you feel better in the same way that once you've built the lucid dreaming tool box I guess you could call it the toolbox You know that if you want to work on some deep subconscious problem You have a lucid dream if you want to overcome fear or release anger or Get inspiration you have a lucid dream It just becomes a tool that you can use like meditation if you're feeling stressed you meditate If you're feeling hungry you go and have some food if you want inspiration You have a lucid dream and in the same way if you want to work with your belief systems or you know overcome phobias or do sort of emotional Emotional work on yourself You use lucid dreaming so that's it for now guys.
