 So we've got a question from a buddy James Lee and he says I can lose a dream with reality checks about twice a week That's great But I experienced sort of random physics. So sometimes he'll be able to jump really high and other times He'll feel like he's stuck. You know, he'll feel like he just can't move or he's He's trapped on the floor of the dream. He can't really jump fly teleport anything like that He says rational thinking just stops him being able to do these things He's thinking too much. Okay He can't always control the dream And he says what perspective should I use? Do I just need to practice more or is it something else? Well, that's a great question. So I'm gonna start by saying first of all well done for having the reality checks You know reality checks is something that a lot of people find really difficult Especially remembering to do them And that's just something that gets better with practice, you know, you're just gonna have to set a reminder and at the start It's gonna be hard. You're gonna forget to do them. You're gonna go for days sometimes without even doing them at all That's just part of it. You just need to make sure you set reminders set notes on your fridge You know, have a note on your phone have a reminder everywhere you go in your house Eventually, you'll just remember to do them. You just be doing them more and more often And it won't feel like you have to try and remember because you'll just be doing them naturally So good that you're doing that already the physics of the dream is something which It will always be strange. Okay, so you can get to a point where you expect certain things to happen so you might say Expect it to rain and it might rain one time, but then another time, you know, the next night the next week Even you'll expect something to happen and it won't and there's not really a lot You can do to predict that sometimes the dream just has a mind of its own, you know, it just does what it wants No matter how skilled you happen to be Sometimes it will just do its own thing and that's fine So I think there was there was some sort of quote about how a sailor doesn't control the sea and in the same way You can't really control the dream in the same way that you would control say a character in a video game You can sort of more observe it and you can guide things you can sort of push things in a little bit of a direction But you can't Directly control absolutely everything at the same time. So sometimes it will be weird. The physics will be weird That's point one point two Sometimes the physics are weird because you just haven't got the right mindset for them. So what I mean by that is when You enter the lucid dream Especially if you're a beginner you might not be as stable as like a more skilled lucid dreamer You'll find that you you know what you want to do But the fundamental belief in your subconscious mind is that you can't do it. So the most common one is flying Okay, lots of people will try and fly and they'll find that they sort of held back They're pulled down Or they'll start flying and start falling you might have had the dream before where you you know You're flying and then suddenly you're falling you're falling through the air and then you hit the ground and wake up whatever It's mainly because your fundamental subconscious belief is that you can't fly humans shouldn't be able to fly right You don't see people flying around on their own without a plane So generally speaking in the dream your subconscious relays that back to you and doesn't allow you to fly So it's really working. It's about working on the subconscious belief that you can fly in a dream And sort of practicing it and maybe using some affirmations. So you could for example Say again and again to yourself or can fly And say this before you go to sleep and the chances are it will happen in a lucid dream So don't be too worried about the control of the whole physics aspects of it, you know, something that comes with time and practice So just go with the flow relax a little bit it will happen When it happens, okay in the meantime what you can do is you can meditate you can meditate every day every morning or every evening or both And just literally start by counting from one to ten counting your breath So count one on the in inhale to all the exhale three on the inhale four in the exhale all the way up to ten When you get to ten go right back to one again start again Just do this for about ten minutes do this twice a day. It's a very basic meditation technique And you'll find that just doing that you'll have not only more energy throughout the day But you'll start to think clearer, you know, your thoughts will be more structured and organized you won't find yourself struggling to pull out a memory or Lose, you know, you you won't be losing your train of thought as much and it's the same with the lucid dreaming You'll find it's just a lot easier so Lastly and it's probably the most important is as we're doing all of this make sure you write it all down write everything you do down in a diary a Journal it can be a document on your laptop. It doesn't really matter write it down write down the date So you can easily search and look back on it later write down what happened what you learn and what you're gonna do the next day and Just sort of see where it takes you don't be too stressed with the particular, you know the specifics of it So I feel like you're getting too stressed on oh, I can't control this particular thing of this particular dream It's not really matter. It's more about the bigger picture of the whole thing Just build the fundamental skills and habits and eventually it won't be an issue So hopefully that's helped if you have a question, please leave a comment and subscribe
