 So I thought I'd explain what a lucid dream looks like I Know you're probably wondering and I've made a video about what lucid dreaming feels like as in what is the sensation and the experience of lucid dreaming But in terms of the visuals of the whole thing What does it look like if you where if you're watching this video now? Just pay attention just take a moment or just take a few seconds Just stop what you're doing pay attention to the room or the scene around you You might be on a train. You might be at work I don't know where you are but take a moment to pay attention to the scene around you Just look around you don't put it don't listen to the sounds don't even focus on how you're feeling Personally just focus on what you can see Chances are that if you look at something you will when you look at that thing where whether it's a clock on the wall or a Tree outside you'll notice that you focus on the main thing and Then you're also aware of the peripherals around that thing and this is put into context by your brain So what's actually happening is you're focusing on something for example a light bulb and Then your residual image or your blueprint of the world is being called up by your subconscious mind And it's telling you that okay, so if you're looking at a light bulb You've been in this room before you know that roughly where you know roughly where everything is in that room And so your mind sort of fills in the blanks, okay? So in the back of your mind or you know in your peripheral vision You'll notice the things like the bed and the bookcase and whatever else is in your room Even though you're looking at the light bulb now This is what happens in waking life normally when you look at something you're aware of the particular thing you're focusing on You're then also peripherally aware of what's around it And then your subconscious mind fills in the blanks that you can't see or that you're not really aware of to create context This is how we see an interpret the world in waking life now in a dream. It's completely different It's similar in the sense that you can focus on something But what tends to happen is you have a lot more of that blueprint being called up and a lot less of that peripheral vision So although you still will have peripheral vision in a lucid dream You'll be able to look at something and notice what's to the either side of it because you're not actually using eyes in a lucid dream Okay, because you're not actually using an organ you're using your mind It's a lot less based on optics and more based on the feeling and sort of creative construction of it from your subconscious mind What this means is in layman's terms because you're not using your eyes to see in a lucid dream You can change the way you see the dream by thinking differently bear that in mind and you know don't skip over this part That's quite an important statement. You can change what you see in a lucid dream based on how you think You can't do that in waking where you can to some degree But in most cases you can't do that in waking life. What you see is what you get in waking life But in a dream You could be looking at something but then by thinking differently you can change what you're seeing you can also make it You can also change your focus so that you're focusing on either one particular thing miles away Like you can have telescope vision in a lucid dreams. You can be looking at one particular tiny detail miles away Or you could be focused on everything around you at the same time This is not this is not something I can explain to you before you've actually done it because Like I said in waking life We're used to looking at one thing and being sort of subconsciously aware of everything around it to give Context of where it is you look at a book on a bookshelf You don't really have to focus on the corners and edges of the wooden bookshelf. You just know it's there peripherally Okay, whereas in a lucid dream you can train yourself to see every single detail of the scene at the same time But I know there's a lot of you who are watching this video who'll probably say or comment things like well That's not true every time I have a lucid dream It's sort of hazy a bit blurry You might be able to focus on one thing and then everything else fades out and it's hard to focus on everything at the same time Yeah, I agree What I'm saying is you can train yourself to do that you can train yourself to take in more information and more detail There's lots of ways of doing that and if there's enough interest in this video. I will make a follow-up but For now, I just wanted to explain Yes, you can focus on one thing in a dream and then you can peripherally be aware of what's around it You can also zoom in on one thing in the far distance and you can also train yourself to take in all of the details Around you at the same time. So that's what you can do in terms of practicality Okay, in terms of what you will see that is entirely down to you And some people will have different levels of detail than others This comes down to two things your dream recall and your practice You're the amount of experience you have in lucid dream, you know How clear you are if you're on a lower layer or level of lucidity You will obviously see less detail than somebody on layer 5 lucid dream So like I said, it's a spectrum you can see less detail on the lower levels more detail on the higher levels But what it can look like is a very detailed vivid world Where you can notice Individual details of tiny things that you wouldn't be able to pick up on in waking life Because like I said, you're not using your eyes, right? You're using your mind and your mind is able to zoom in on tiny minuscule details And comprehend them in a way that your eyes never could Because your eyes in waking life, although they're incredible and they're an amazing creation You can't really zoom in like a telescope You can't be aware of everything at the same time all of those Trillions and trillions of bits of information. You can't be aware of all of them at the same time That's why your brain uses certain tricks like I guess you could say tunnel vision Or it sort of fills in the blanks with the blueprint and a peripheral idea of the context of what you're looking at But in a lucid dream, it's limitless. You can do whatever you want Obviously you need to practice and you can Get to this level eventually, but that's all I've got time for today. So done
