 Okay, what's up guys? So today I'm just gonna shoot a video for you Giving you some really great ideas to try if you're having trouble lucid dreaming So I know it can be quite difficult for a lot of people and I'm getting a lot of emails from you guys Saying what I say a lot of you guys, but quite a few people emailing me saying, you know I've been trying for a few months now, and it's not really happening. I'm not lucid dreaming. Why what am I doing wrong? They asked me, okay So I'm gonna give you a few things that you can try which will increase your chances will make it easier for you This is sort of like a a rut buster Okay, so it's gonna be about I would say a five minute to six minute video if you say with me until the end I'll give you a great recommendation for something to try Something that will really help you boost your dreams. I've used this to double my lucid dream count per week. It's really great So let's just get straight into it. Let's just get started. I know you're busy people So let's go the first thing that I would recommend you to try is to vary the techniques you use Okay, so when you start learning about lucid dreaming inevitably, you'll Read articles and you'll you'll learn how to do the waking juice lucid dream Which is the most common one you might read about then your mind if you can do lucid dream all these different techniques And what will usually happen is you'll pick one that you really like the sound of That you've maybe read a good story about or someone's told you you should really try this technique and you'll focus on that and You'll really try and you'll try and you'll try and it just won't work for whatever reason Okay, and then you'll sort of start to be frustrated. You'll start to think. Oh, well, maybe lucid dreaming doesn't work Maybe it's not gonna work out for me. Maybe the technique doesn't work Okay, and you'll sort of start to lose motivation slowly and slowly you'll dismiss lucid dreaming something that isn't for you Okay, and this is really bad. I hate it when this happens, especially when it's people I know So what I would suggest to do is to set time frames for yourself For each technique that you try and I want you to try lots of them Okay, so they're obviously I can probably list about 10 techniques just off the top of my head for lucid dreaming And you can find lots of them on my blog as well how to lucid.com So let's just throw a few examples out there Let's say the first technique you try will be the waking juice lucid dream and that doesn't work Try it as hard as you can to make it work for you for a week Okay, just that one technique focus on it every night try it try it again. If it doesn't work Write down what happened in the dream diary write down your experiences how it felt what was easy What was not so easy and then move on to a new technique the week after okay? And keep doing this keep doing this every week starting a new technique So first week waking juice lucid dream second week pneumonic induced lucid dream third week Cycle adjustment technique fourth week wait back to bed and so on and so forth until you find one that works better than the rest And you will okay. There are so many techniques out there and they all work in slightly different ways Everyone is slightly different as I keep saying so one will work better than the others for you Okay, find that technique and when you do focus on that and build your skills that way instead eventually you've built up the skills in your subconscious and in your in your conscious mind that you can Approach the other techniques more easily and you can learn better because you found one that works for you you've built on your skills and you've You've picked up a bit of motivation. You've had a few lucid dreams because that's the main thing You want to have those those easy wins at the start so you have motivation to keep learning, okay? Second thing Moving on is your sleep pattern now Everybody has a natural sleep rhythm is called your circadian rhythm and it refers to the way that your body responds to light At dark so normally if there weren't any screens and artificial light you would wake up when if the sun rises in the morning and you would go to sleep when the sun sets when it gets Dark the natural light in the world from the Sun will enter your body And trigger you to create certain hormones. These are known as your You could say your circadian hormones or something like this It basically means the substances in your body that wake you up and then shut you down ready for sleep Okay, now obviously in society these days we have artificial lights We keep ourselves up beyond the times when we're supposed to go to bed naturally. This is okay Not much we can do about that. It's just part of the world we live in now. However For your sleep pattern you ideally want to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day Seven days a week if you have a really random sleep pattern and you're going to sleep and waking up all sorts of times You're going to find it much harder to have a lucid dream And I found this from experience. I know this is true. I've read various Scientific studies on this your circadian rhythm is important and it won't only help you to lose a dream It will actually help you to have more energy throughout the day It will help you with your motivation your mental clarity all sorts of things like this. Okay, so Set a little test for yourself You could call it a 30-day experiment for example where every day you wake up at the same time and you go to bed at Roughly the same time the most important part is the time you wake up. Okay, because if you wake up at the same time every day Naturally after a few days your body is going to start to think I'm getting a bit tired now Whatever time in the evening you should be going to sleep and you'll naturally feel tired enough to go to sleep Okay, so try that for a few weeks that will help you third thing By neural beats now I've mentioned these before this is a type of sound wave you can listen to Which sort of takes your brain by the hand and guides it towards a lucid state now There are many ways you can do this and there are several companies that make these by neural beats You can find them on YouTube. They're free. However, the ones on YouTube tend to be lower quality and they don't work as well This is what I found from experience and so without going too much into it a by neural beat is a type of sound wave That you listen to and the way it works is you you will listen to the sound wave through stereo headphones Okay, in one ear would be one frequency one sound wave frequency and in the other ear would be a slightly different one They'll be on slightly different levels and because they're slightly different your brain makes up for this difference and sort of Makes it so that you hear one sound and by doing this your brain actually goes into a different Mental state your brain waves change. Okay, and that's the basics of it There are several different by neural beats that they make them for all sorts of things you can get them to help you relax Help you wake up help you think more creatively and help you lose your dream So I'll leave some links in the description for those they're fairly cheap Or you can go ahead and search it on YouTube by neural beats for lucid dreaming and see if they work for you If you find that the YouTube ones don't work then maybe come back to this video try the ones I'm suggesting But it's totally up to you. Okay fourth thing inspiration now lucid this video is going to probably go on more than six minutes But it doesn't matter. Hopefully you're not bored and falling asleep already. So inspiration With anything you learn, especially if it's something new it's important to sort of Visualize what it will feel like and sort of get inspiration from a number of sources So for example talking to people that do or can do the thing that you're trying to do Okay, sounds simple, but this stuff works guys watching films about your subject about what you're trying to learn and Develop skills in okay reading books ebooks paperback books articles online whatever it is like what I'm saying to you is Immerse yourself in lucid dreaming learn all you can about it read books Okay, I've got a bookshelf here full of books on psychology lucid dreaming motivation personal development all sorts of things And I read them. I read them. I highlight important bits. I go over them again Until it really sort of becomes solid in my mind And this really helps this will really help you to let to lucid dream to improve your mind of all of this sort of stuff okay Number five, I think on my little list here supplements now these aren't for everyone You don't have to do this you don't have to take any sort of supplement to lucid dream But there are certain things which make it just more likely and easier Okay, so the first one I would advise you to take a multi-vitamin and this will just sort of balance your body get your Macronutrient levels aligned it was sort of help your overall health which will in turn help your mental health It's all connected in some sort of way, okay You can also get certain supplements specifically for lucid dreaming such as for example galantamine 5-HTP There are all sorts of supplements which will help you with what's called a dream support Okay, the reason it's called dream support This is an interest wise because no supplement can guarantee you'll have a lucid dream But there are certain things which sort of give you that that raise that that boost in The likelihood that you're lucid dream Okay, so I might leave some links for those as well in the description But feel free to do your own research just type lucid dreaming supplements. You'll find a load of results so the last one and This is sort of like a general recommendation for something I found from my experience. I've been lucid dreaming for several years now Makes I would say one of the biggest differences to my lucid dreaming ability Okay, and that is to do as much as you can in your waking life Okay, so at the start when I first started learning about all this I would sort of read a lot about lucid dreaming I would watch films I would spend hours, you know reading through forums I think one of the first websites I found was well with lucid dreaming by Rebecca Turner And I'll just read all of these articles and learn as much as I could But then I found that it reached a certain point where I I reached a plateau I couldn't really go beyond that so I sort of gave up for a few months Okay, and I just started doing all these other things. I went to college, you know, I Started having more of a social life and doing all of this stuff And I found that the more interesting and new experiences I had in my waking life Okay, the more lucid dreams I had And I think one of the reasons for this is that when you lose a dream or when you dream in general Part of the dream is made up from your what's known as day residue. Okay, so your memory of things that have happened previously that day So, of course, if you're spending your day Sitting in your room not doing much then you're gonna have less day residue and you're not gonna have as much You're not gonna have as much experience for your dreams to be based around so What I'm basically saying is try and do as much as you can try and have new Experiences as often as you can travel go out and see the world try something new eat at a new restaurant All of this stuff will really help you On an in an indirect way. It will help you to lose a dream. It will bring more Randomness and vividness to your dreams. Okay, so I hope this video has helped you.
