 Right, so here's what's going to happen as you've probably noticed this is not like my normal videos so what I'm actually doing right now is I'm playing my favorite drone simulator and I'm going to basically talk about lucid dreaming while playing the simulator and the reason I'm doing this is because I want to make more videos on this channel or I've been listening to what you guys have been saying. I don't make enough videos but at the same time it takes a lot of time and effort to make videos and so that's why I've only been able to make a few but if I basically just film the screen while I'm playing the simulator it means that I can make more videos less editing time is required and I find it kind of like what's the word therapeutic that's the word I find it therapeutic and quite nice to talk about things while I'm playing this simulator I also want to improve it you know flying a drone and hopefully this is you know a bit more interesting than just watching my face you know we're flying around some landscapes there'll be some cool tricks we can try and do maybe you can pretend it's a lucid dream and we're flying around lucid dream together anyway anyway so in this video I want to talk about what my first lucid dream was like uh because it's been many many years now since I had my first lucid dream and a lot of a lot has changed um you what you'll find down what you'll find is that when you have your first lucid dream more often than not especially if you're a beginner it's going to be very quick and you probably as soon as you realize you're lucid you'll basically wake yourself up um it will be quite disappointing to some degree because just as soon as you realize what you're what's happening you've woken yourself up and it's it's over but don't know that I put you off don't know that I put you off because um your subsequent lucid dreams after that if you keep practicing with any luck they will actually get you know so that you can lose a dream for longer and longer excuse me I need to clear my clear my throat there uh yeah you can kind of lose a dream for longer and longer as you go along uh which you know is a motivating fact to continue because although your first lucid dream you know won't be very long you'll probably wake yourself up especially if you're doing something exciting or you know um engaging the lucid dreams you have after that should be longer as you practice and especially if you practice meditation um yeah it will get easier so what was my first lucid dream like well you've got to remember this was many many years ago and at the time I didn't even know what lucid dream was and if you've read any of my work on my site or if you've read the about section it was kind of an accident so my first lucid dream I was a kid and I was I as you can probably imagine uh I had a kind of like a dislike for authority I was misbehaving didn't I didn't very often do what I was told and so I misbehaved and my parents sent me to my room uh you know to think about whatever it was that I'd done at the time um and while I was in my room I was obviously very young I had a lot of energy but I was very bored and so I really just wanted to make the time go faster and so what I did effectively is I just tried to have a nap um and I can't remember the exact age I was at the time but I was young you know this was like below the age of 12 I know that much um I was young so I just I tried to have a nap to make the time go faster so that I could you know go back on my computer or whatever it was I was doing at the time um and so what happened is I had all this energy you know as you do when you're young I had all this energy and curiosity but I was trying to have a nap in the middle of the day and so what happened is I had an accidental lucid dream and it went something like this so I was walking down the street and maybe some of you can leave a comment saying like the actual description of the lucid dream starts at four minutes or something uh I was walking down the street and I looked down at my hands and I realized hold on a second this isn't like I was just in my bed two seconds ago so this can't be like I can't be here right now what's going on oh so I must be dreaming and I kind of I'm quite fortunate I guess because I worked it out so so young and without any you know experience or knowledge of what it was I just basically worked out what was happening I said well this must be a dream I must be in my bed dreaming what's happening right now and and I was and it was a lucid dream and obviously at the first uh the first second I realized that I immediately woke up in my bed and my heart was racing and I you know I didn't know what just happened because it was so it was so unexpected and random and strange compared to what I'd experienced before that I did not know how to like come to terms with it I had no idea what just happened and it's pretty exciting it's pretty exciting but that's basically what my first lucid dream felt like and probably a lot of you were wondering well I was hoping for some incredible like really interesting detailed story but more often than not your first lucid dream is actually although it is exciting that the fact that you're you're doing it the actual experience you know what you're actually dreaming about or doing usually it's pretty boring you know usually it's just like you're walking down the street you look around you realize it's a dream you wake up it's literally like for most people at least it's just enough to realize that you're dreaming and you you are lucid dreaming but not much more and so I hope that doesn't disappoint you but don't know that I put you off because although they although your first lucid dream will probably be quite short and for most of you it will be quite boring the fact is you woke yourself or you managed to realize you were dreaming while you were asleep that's the key so then when you actually get better at it and you start practicing how to make it longer and everything like that you're in a really good place so what I'd like you to do is to scroll down right now and leave a comment letting me know if you've had your first lucid dream what happened in it what did you do and if you haven't let me know what you want to do in your first lucid dream and I'll probably try and read out the funniest or the most interesting one in my next video and also I really really would like to hear what do you think about this type of video where we're just chilling out talking more casually there's less editing and I'm just you know it's more like you're having an actual conversation with me compared to my snappy editing that I usually do and the drone simulator in in particular like is this okay that we can make videos like this and just chill out while we're flying and flying around hopefully as I get better at flying this thing it'll be more interesting for you for those of you who are interested it's fpv free rider I'm using an actual drone controller the same one I use for my real drone anyway let me know what you think there are different landscapes and I can even build my own levels and stuff so for the gamers among you maybe this is a bit more interesting than just seeing my face but more importantly I think the fact that we're flying around like this in different landscapes could actually be quite inspirational for a lucid dream because you know your subconscious mind absorbs that hopefully not the crashes but your subconscious mind will absorb that and hopefully maybe in some of you it will trigger a flying dream anyway let me know
