 This video is a bit different in that I'm going to explain lucid dreaming for children, for kids, young people, and you know you can define young people however you want, I mean I'm not going to give you an age bracket but people who are generally young, maybe you're in school or in college or something or maybe you're in primary school, I don't know, or maybe you're a parent and you want to teach your children how to lucid dream. Here are some tips, here's some advice for you. So firstly I want to say and this is probably what you're most concerned about at least according to my comments and emails, you're wondering hold on a second, this lucid dreaming thing, is it actually dangerous and are there any risks associated with lucid dreaming? Well I'll tell you straight away, there are no risks or dangers really of lucid dreaming, the only danger so to speak is that you might want to sleep more often, you might want to spend more time asleep and that's not really a bad thing, if you're young you should be sleeping more because you need more sleep anyway. But in terms of dangers with your mind it's far healthier and better in terms of escapism than any video game you could possibly play. So if you're a parent especially if you're and you're worried about your kid lucid dreaming because he might do some bad things in his lucid dream or in her lucid dream it's far less of a risk than any video game that you could imagine okay and in a lucid dream you're basically, you're going to be drawn to things that are exciting yes but your brain will still have a sort of moral compass anyway, you won't be wanting to go and do crazy things more likely than not in a lucid dream you'll just do kind of fun things you know maybe you'll run around or fly maybe you will climb a big tree climb a skyscraper be a superhero okay it's very unlikely that anything bad or dangerous could or would happen okay so you're trying to lucid dream you're wondering is it different to lucid dream if you're younger well yes but the good news is it's easier it's actually a lot easier to lucid dream if you are young and I'm going to define young and don't get offended by this if you're watching this in your older I would define young as anywhere below the ages of let's say 20 2022 that kind of age that is what I would consider young in this context so if you are under that age you're going to find it a lot easier than most of us certainly you're going to find it easier than you know people above the age of 22 in general there are exceptions of course so good news you'll find it easier now what techniques do you actually need to do in terms of how to lucid dream for children for kids if you're younger there's not really much difference in terms of technique however what you will find is that you you need to rely much less on a physical induction technique than you do to actually just build up the basic habit so this is good news for you you don't need to start you know making crazy alarms on your phone waking up at 3am you know interrupting your sleep I mean you can do yeah you can do it if you want but you will have really good results if you just do the following things meditate every morning for like 10 minutes or so write your dreams down in a kind of like a notepad a journal that kind of thing or on your phone and just generally try and set the intention to lucid dream if you're young your hormones and your sleep cycles and the way that you generally sleep is so good you have no idea how good your sleep cycles usually are that you won't need to put much effort into lucid dreaming to actually have a lucid dream compared to an adult I'm talking about in comparison to let's say a 40 year old 50 year old whatever okay you'll find it so much easier than they will and this is because as we get older we generally tend to get worse quality sleep I mean this is kind of like a big assumption right it really depends on the person but your your REM sleep and your sleep cycles become much more erratic and random the older you get when you're young you normally have these really clean sleep graphs where it goes you know you you jump straight down into light sleep and then medium and then deep sleep and then back up to REM sleep and they sort of go in these really clean patterns like this 90 minute cycles and that's really good for lucid dreaming that's you know the easiest way that's the ideal situation if you want to lucid dream when you're older however you might skip REM sleep for the first two sleep cycles and then you might have like a quick blip of it here and then like it's all over the place in short the good news is you can lucid dream much easier if you're younger so just set the really clear intention that you want to lucid dream tell yourself I will lucid dream tonight and visualize yourself this is kind of the biggest tip I guess visualize yourself becoming lucid later on like in the future you can take a few seconds to do this with me now if you want just imagine you know you're looking down at your hands and you're thinking hold on a second this is a dream I'm lucid right now that's the moment of lucidity okay now you want to visualize yourself doing that looking down at your hands realizing oh this is a dream visualize that situation that scene happening in the future next time you're lucid and this is really powerful just that intention technique alone will probably give you a couple of lucid dreams anyway but if you want to make it even more effective here's what you do so do that throughout the day visualize yourself becoming lucid and then right before you're about to go to sleep in the evening set a really strong intention tell yourself I will lucid dream tonight there's no doubt about it and then visualize just before you go to sleep sort of as you're laying there falling asleep visualize yourself becoming lucid in the future uh so basically that is it if you are a parent um well firstly if you're a kid that's how you do it if you're a parent teaching a kid that's how you teach them it's really simple there's no real danger or different thing you need to do except focus on the intention and the awareness you already have the odds massively stacked in your favor if you're below the ages of 20 to 22 so give it a try and see how it goes
