 This is going to be a short video explaining the benefits of lucid dreaming. The reasons you would want to lucid dream and, you know, why you'd actually want to learn this thing? Why bother, right? Well, there are a number of really powerful, profound benefits to lucid dreaming that I'm just going to go through very quickly here. There are loads, but I'm going to go through the main ones, okay? So firstly, let me just really quickly define lucid dream. A lucid dream is where you are aware that you're dreaming while you're dreaming. It's not like a normal dream, but a different brainwave state is activated and you're in a different conscious state, okay? It's not exactly like being conscious and awake, but it's very similar, okay? It's as close as you can get without actually being awake and while still being in a dream. Because you're in the dream, you're in an area that you control and that you create and manifest through your subconscious mind. First benefit is that you can decide what to dream about. You can control the dream and decide what happens. You can decide where to go, what to do, who's going to be in the dream and how it all feels. You can completely create an entire dream scene, an entire dream world, every single night with a lucid dream. Number two, you can reunite with old family members or friends that you've lost. If someone you know has passed away and you'd like to reconnect with them, you can actually dream about them in a lucid dream and have them interact with you as if they were really there. This is done by your memory of them, by the way, obviously it's not actually them, it's your memory of them, but it feels very real and vivid and it can be a way for you to say goodbye if you never got the chance or for you to say something that you wish you could have said when they were still here. Number three, removing fears from your mind. So a massive benefit of lucid dreaming is that you can actually remove fears and phobias from your mind by doing some basic dream work which involves, I've made another video about this, just search my channel, but it involves exposing yourself to what you're afraid of in a risk-free environment. So a really good benefit of lucid dreaming is that you can do things that you would not normally be able to do. Say if you're terrified of flying because you think the plane's going to crash. You could have a lucid dream and experience a plane crash without actually getting hurt, you know, you just wake up. So it's a really effective way, say if you're scared of hornets, right? You can expose yourself to hornets without actually getting stung in real life and it's a really powerful way of getting used to and getting over your fears. Number four, you can talk to your subconscious mind, you can unlock your mind, okay? So this sort of ties into removing fears and phobias from your mind, but you can talk to your own brain. Say if you're concerned about your self-esteem, for example, or confidence. You can actually directly speak to the part of your brain that controls your confidence and have a conversation with it as if it was another person. And this is really powerful for improving your confidence, for improving your social skills, your self-esteem, your motivation, drive for life, literally anything you can think of. Anything in your mind, anything in your brain that makes up who you are. Number five, I think it's number five. You can practice real life skills and actually improve at them in real life. Say if you want to learn how to, this is actually how I learned how to drive faster than usual, okay? I would go to my lesson, it was a two-hour lesson. I would learn all the skills, you know, practice clutch control and maneuvers, parallel parking, all this stuff. I would then go home and just before bed, I would go over that lesson in my mind. I'd close my eyes and just imagine, think about what I learned and how it all felt. And I would then go to bed with the intention of practicing that in a lucid dream. I would then become lucid, I would then find a car and I would practice driving. And it sounds insane, but I passed my test really quickly, you know, much faster than my instructor thought I was going to, because I could just practice. I had, you know, days and days of extra time to practice these things in my lucid dreams, which also saved me a lot of money, if you think the price of driving lessons and you're sort of doubling or tripling those hours just by dreaming about the stuff, it starts to become really, you know, quite a benefit. And you can do this with any skill, really. If you're practicing martial arts, for example, any physical skill or, you know, you can use a lucid dream to practice these things and actually improve. And this has been studied and proven scientifically as well. I've made a video about that also. Number six, you can get better and more restful sleep, okay? So one of the best things about sleep is you're dreaming, obviously, but you can wake up feeling more refreshed and restored by lucid dreaming. And this is a really good way of, you know, getting yourself into it. It's a really good benefit, right? Who doesn't want to sleep better? Who doesn't want to feel more refreshed in the mornings? Everyone does, right? So really, that's the main five benefits of lucid dreaming. There are also other things like you can get, you know, a huge source of inspiration. You can learn new ideas. You can get, you know, creative insights and all sorts of stuff like this. But they're the main five. The other one as well, depending on if you have nightmares, you can avoid nightmares with lucid dreaming. You can, you know, turn nightmares into beautiful experiences instead of just being terrifying or deals. But really, they're the main five to six benefits. So if you would like to get started, I have a link in the description for a really effective course that I put together. If not, just watch my other videos. I'm sure you'll pick something up and that's it. Done.
