 A lot of people have lucid dreams simply because they watched one of my videos and I suddenly realised this the other day when I had all these comments and messages and it just occurred to me that I do every now and then I'll get a comment or a message from somebody saying hey I saw one of your videos and as a result I was lucid that night. It suddenly occurred to me that actually you can become lucid just because you're trying to learn about the topic you know say if you read a book like for example when I was when I was first learning I would have the exploring the world of lucid dreams book you know that little blue one by I think Stephen LaBurge wrote it and every time I would see that book I would ask myself if I was dreaming it became like a reality check in and of itself and eventually it got to the point where I was actually I would dream about that book and as a result I would become lucid just by thinking about it just by thinking about the book because I knew it was linked to lucid dreaming and I've had a few conversations with people where they've said that they've become lucid they've seen me in their dream signs or whatever I guess because I'm talking about lucid dreaming and because I'm getting the ideas out there making videos writing articles about it it makes it more likely that you're going to actually do it because there's always that chance that you're for example see one of my videos and then that will trigger you to do a reality check or that will trigger you to start reading or watching more about lucid dreaming and that sort of thing so in that way I'm very glad that that in some way I was helpful or that you know watching one of my videos has led to you having a lucid dream that's what I would hope anyway so what I want to do is I want to issue a challenge every time you see one of my videos pop up on YouTube click on it and do a reality check just literally just ask yourself am I dreaming is this real but when you do it really look around and just question the details of the world around you don't just do it half-heartedly you know really try and think about whether you're dreaming or not you can also leave a comment if you're feeling particularly generous that would be quite useful for my engagement rate but it's entirely up to you you know you can just you can turn anything really into a reality check trigger I guess another thing you could do is what I do quite often is I'll have these little stickers you see the sticker behind me it just says basically are you dreaming I've got those all around my house you know there's some on my on my door there's some on my windows on the mirror and they basically just remind me to do reality checks I know it sounds really simple right and you're probably thinking well I don't really need to remember to do them because they happen anyway or you know maybe you have a timer or something but if you the more times you remind yourself to just test your reality just think about whether you're actually awake or not the more likely it is that you're going to lose a dream that I don't know what a weird noise is by the way it's probably this clicking thing I'm just doing this hand strength thing twice I want to get back into climbing anyway anyway here's what I want to do with this video leave a comment letting me know what your most effective reality check is what is the most the thing that you do the most often that leads to the most lucid dreams if you don't have any lucid dreams that's fine too but leave a comment letting me know why you don't think you're having any because I really want to try and I really want to try and answer more of your questions and basically help you lucid dream I want to figure out what it is that's stopping you lucid dreaming and then we can work on that directly I can make videos answering those questions and we can sort of improve together going forwards thanks for watching guys this video and this channel was supported by my patreon followers please consider giving just a dollar a month to support this channel or just click the links in the description you'll find links to various lucid dream products articles techniques and tutorials if you did enjoy this video please click the notification bell and subscribe and I'll see you next time why are you still watching this you should have clicked one of my related videos by now right or subscribed or gone onto my website or something like that
