 What's up ladies and gents, so I'm back today with a new video I'm fresh out of the shower hence the crazy hair and if you'll notice I've got a lovely new backdrop for the videos because I thought you know what I'm tired of just having videos with my shelf in the background I mean, it's lovely that you guys can see all the books I read but I'm pretty sure you don't want to see that every time so I've got a lovely Mandala background which you can see here which Loosely matches one of my tattoos anyway I'm back today with a new video and I'm gonna be talking about something which you know It might come as a bit of a surprise to you guys. So obviously, I'm a big lucid dreamer I like controlling my dreams and all that jazz However in recent months, I've actually Started to do a lot more dreaming where I don't control it and there's a few reasons for this so You may have noticed Obviously, I've been uploading videos a bit less and and that's because to be honest I've run out of ideas that will help beginners as much as they'll help advanced lucid dreamers And I don't really know like what sort of level you guys are at. Obviously. I've got quite a few subscribers now and you know It's hard for me to judge what level you guys are at So I don't really I'm trying to work out the best way of going forward with this and providing the best content I can so I've been sort of researching reading doing a few other projects as well But more importantly, I've been I've been lucid dreaming less I've actually been doing it less. So and there's actually a reason for that because I feel like You need to have a balance Whether it's in your exercise routine your diet, you know, you're socializing Whatever it is, you need to have a balance where you're having like the right amount of everything So I feel like for me at least It's important to have lucid dreams and also normal dreams or dreams where you aren't as in control you're not as aware, okay and Having these normal dreams Will allow you to sort of let go and to sort of be guided by the dream instead of by what you want to do and the reason for this is that when you attain a certain level of skill at lucid dreaming when you can reliably fairly reliably Induce a lucid dream where you can control it and you're aware you're dreaming you tend to get stuck in what I call the sort of self-gratification loop, right where you'll enter a lucid dream and More often than not your reptilian brain takes over and you start Looking for people to fight or people to have sex with or whatever And you tend to get caught up in these desires and you don't really progress So you're having lucid dreams, right, but you're not doing anything meaningful with them And you know, I've been stuck in this loop before it's happened to a few people. I've known they learn how to lucid dream but then they sort of plateau at a certain stage and Every time they have a lucid dream. They just do the same things over and over again They'll always have a flying dream for example, but they'll always do the same thing and I feel personally that it's good to let go of that sort of desire and whatever And actually let the dream guide you once in a while and that's why That's why I've sort of taken a little break for the last few months few weeks, whatever And sort of just had more normal dreams but I'll get on to sort of how I've done that and what I've used to have more normal dreams In a minute, but yeah, I just wanted to sort of talk to you guys a bit about this and explain that you don't always need to Control the dream, right? I know a lot of you are going to be thinking what the hell is this guy going on about? He's got a lucid dreaming channel. He's saying you don't need to control the dream. You don't always need to Okay, it's important to have a balance of lucid dreams where you do active work You know you achieve things you whatever work on your emotional trauma build up your confidence Explore the subconscious mind that sort of thing, but then it's also important in my opinion to have normal dreams where you're Letting go. Okay. You're just giving up control and There's a there's a beautiful Sort of speech by Alan Watts about this called I think if you just type into YouTube Alan Watts inception Or Alan Watts, this life is a dream something like that. I'll try and put a link in the description He explains that you know if you had all the power in the world referencing lucid dreaming, I guess you could say Eventually you would want something that isn't new you'd want a surprise you would want to give up your control in order to just Have an adventure that you don't control You know and at some point he's he doesn't to say you'd forget that you were dreaming and As in just let go to the dream and have the dream guide you So that's it really You know, I just wanted to explain a bit about that and explain that if you haven't lucid dream Regularly, are you finding it hard? That's fine, and I have a solution for that You know I have I created a program that you can follow which forces you to lucid dream within 30 days Okay, if you do want to do that I'll put a link in the description, but basically just go to house of lucid calm forward slash boot camp and you can find it there But if you can't if you don't want to do that, and if you don't feel like you can lucid dream easily Just have a break, you know just have normal dreams But instead work on the other side of the circle so lucid dreaming on this side And then on the other side you could say you want to remember more of your dreams You want to have more vivid dreams. You want to just have a more vivid profound adventure And you know there's nothing wrong that when you wake up you'll still have the memories of that adventure, and it'll still feel real so What other what I'd suggest you do is If you want to lose a dream check out the boot camp if you can't or don't Then have more vivid dreams and what I've been using recently is a supplement called Clary dream Which is a dream enhancement supplement that makes your dreams more vivid now. I've been promoting this on Instagram For a while and mentioning in a few blog posts as well I think but you know, it's basically a fairly new dream supplement Which allows you to have much more vivid dreams, but the ingredients are so potent Okay, that that you're only recommended to take it once a week maximum. I've been taking it sort of once twice a week But you know the ingredients are potent. It will it does work Which is more than can be said for most dream supplements these days So yeah, go ahead and check that out if you want to get you know a bottle of Clary dream have a go a Link will be in the description or you can check it out here How to lose a comm forward slash go forward slash Clary dream So that's it guys.
