This man is so underrated. I remember I always used to watch you to learn how to lucid dream then I gave up for whatever reason. I recently started doing it again and have already had one thanks to you. (Your also the only lucid CZcamsr I trust)
Congratulations on the lucid dream, and thank you for the lovely words, I really appreciate it!
Yep. It took me a while to find him but he’s also the only one I listen to.
Hi Frankie,I was just wondering how often you lucid now?
Oh man, when I said that it's fine to have a sponsor I didn't expect that it could actually be included in such a funny way. I really had to laugh at "Adstral plane" and still have to chuckle. Really creative way to include it and trigger a reality check with those blue contact lenses too. Thanks for the chuckles!
Haha, really glad you liked that Jonny, was fun to do!
Meditation has helped me in lucid dreaming
I have kept Dream Journal but hardly do reality checks, i just get simply lucid for long now but only twice a month or once
It's definitely helpful in various different ways. I'd definitely recommend adding reality tests to your practice, you'll double (at least) your lucid dreams in doing so. Thanks for the comment :)
I am really enjoying the videos been helping allot. Wasn't abled to Lucid dream properly until i found your channel. Now i am abled to Lucid dream atsleast 1 time a week.
That's really great progress Piroz, you should be very proud of yourself! - Good to have you here, and stay lucid!
Commenting to boost. I've been slacking off on meditation recently as well...
I'll check later. here donation for the hard work and save us from misinformation and give us the correct information. I have a short question. I use a little reality check. I look after the object/color and then I look away, and then I look again after the object/color, if it changes then I am dreaming. is this a good reality check? because a dream isn't stable, is it?
Jim, you're brilliant - thank you for helping me to keep making these videos! To answer your question, it's a pretty good reality test - although I'd aim for something a little more complex and abstract such as text or a digital display. Think of these stability tests (as that's what they all are) as essentially a means of interrupting short term memory, In the dream, the moment you look away from something, it doesn't exist anywhere other than in your memory - so with a colour change test, when you look away, fill your mind with as many other colours you can imagine... interrupt the memory process. Hope that helps!
Another very useful video - thank you very much. To be honest, meditation is something I often feel I’ll never get the hang of.
Hopefully this will give a few pointers on what to focus on... it's definitely hard to grasp when it's often explained so vaguely "focus on your breathing" kind of thing.
@@LucidDreamPortal I feel more optimistic again after watching this video, so I think I’ll start over - for the hundredth time, but still!
I have found out that short sessions, many times is the best approach for meditating in the beginning. Just as in the analogy of going to the gym, doing too much to soon is the case. If there are too many thoughts while practicing, try to let them come and go without getting too attached to them. I guess that distractions can be like weight lifting. After awhile you may notice that the thoughts will not bother as much. I hope that this has helped in any way.
My mind has been very much I monkey territory as of recently - chaotic, out of control, distracted - and it's been hard for me to focus truely on anything. Granted, this might be due to external factors that I don't have complete control over, but I haven't been truely doing anything about it besides several tests here and there. I haven't done meditation in a bit as I do find myself struggling to do it when "I could be doing other things" (which I don't end up doing) but maybe I should return back to it. I was quite a bit more at a sustainable baseline than where I am right now.
I really liked how you talked about the different types of meditation and their uses. While I can't fully remember all of them right now (I was briefly distracted), it does provide information and adjustability for anyone who does want to try it. I struggle with awareness while drifting back to sleep during awakenings in the night, so I might need to try the one that was brought up for that!
When you brought up sponsorships in last week's stream, I thought it was going to happen in a few weeks but this came as a surprise! I didn't jump over it as it seemed interesting (and the Cosmøtron-like effects had my brain thinking of connections). I've never actually heard of that company before so, I might look more into it! Fantastic video as always - time for my second watch through!
Meditation is definitely very helpful, even with a stressful life. I can genuinely say that discovering meditation in my early teens really helped me through some of the most horrible times.
Boost for the YT ai whatever thing. I see this video is sponsored, hope it gets plenty of views!
thank you so much! whenever i try to attempt a Lucid dreaming tecnique, i get nervous.. and i was looking for a meditation method.
Ooooh, shiny sponsorship... Good for you for finding something that actually makes sense for the topics of this channel! And I really need to work on my meditation, the monkey mind is out of control.
I know... it's odd isn't it! - But it's a nifty little app especially for ambient soundscapes to use for the anchor technique - so it seemed fitting. And yes, a little mind-gym is good for helping out :)
There were article linking mindfulness meditation with LD and reports where people noticing more vivid dream about meditation
Yes, I remember thinking it was a bit of a limited study for sure, but interesting! - I'll drop the link here for anyone interested: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31058200/
I quite like how you always have a real life example when explaining something instead of just saying it. For example the kung fu and going to the gym analogy. Thanks🙃
Great video! Is the streams Friday's Saturdays or Sundays?
Hey BanKan, thank you hugely for the support! - Streams are on Sundays. For future reference, you can find my upload schedule here: www.thelucidguide.com/upload-schedule
It’s nice to see a sponsor on your channel!
The ADstral plane is a very strange place... I think I saw Norris running around
@@LucidDreamPortal That... might become a problem in the long term, I feel. Thank you for the heads up
Norris living in the ADstral plane explains a lot...now I'm just worried if Norris ever did an ad read!
I was a bit turned off by the mention of product recommendations and advertising. I understand the need for it, but I can't help but expect bias to come from it.
However, I note that your lessons and explanations are getting much more detailed lately. So, the quality of your videos is even greater.
I realized recently that I didn't truly grasp the concept of low resolution dreamsigns. I was still focused on objects and events.
Now I'm catching the feelings popping up. Anxiety, fear, embarrassment and I'm seeing them in my dream journal.
I also realized that by testing Reality when I went to the loo was not helping. I'm now looking for the moment when I first feel the, you know need.
I don't meditate nearly as much as I did a couple of years ago, but I find a lot more continuity throughout the day rather than mindless distraction.
Understandable, I'm sure we'd all love to live in a world without ads - but I asked the members to vote and the overwhelming response was "if it's good for the channel" (which it is). I'll aim to be as fussy as is possible (unless a scotch egg company decides to sponsor, in which case I will immediately sell out for that scotch egg goodness!). Seriously though, it'll be a rarity and only with companies that I feel offer something people may be interested in or find useful.
@@LucidDreamPortal I wasn't able to vote since I can't watch the livestream without ignoring my wife for an hour. But I'm for it. It's on the viewers to do their due diligence and research any recommended product or service.
This is a really good video
I have been struggling with meditation, no motivation etc - maybe that's what I needed! Thank you, Daniel!
Unrelated but curious question: Is it CosmOtron or CosmAtron? Don't want to get the channel lore wrong ^^
(Also .... ADstral plane .... brilliant.. xD)
Ha, glad you enjoyed the ADstral plane pun! - It's Cosmotron, although technically Cosmøtron
@@LucidDreamPortal It made me giggle, yeah ^^ All hail Cosmotron, then! (I don't believe crossed o exists on my keyboard)
this was so helpfull thanks for teaching me this
I really like your teaching and presentations. Blessings.
Thanks Delsha, I appreciate that!
Very well put together and engaging video! I wonder if we’ll experience more of the adstral plane in the future, so long as it’s a legitimate app/site? I’ll definitely check out aura in the meantime.
If other (decent) sponsors get in touch, it'll definitely occur in the ADstral plane (I'm a bit to pleased with myself for that pun). I'm pretty fussy with this kind of thing, and I think Aura and their free trial gives everyone a fair chance to see if it's suitable for them.
nice one
Am taking antidepressants and sleeping tablet nd i suffering from lucid dreams so deep sleep is not there plz me how to avoid dreams
Is that possible that a blind person can experience lucid dream?
Absolutely. I've known several blind lucid dreamers.
I've always wondered this
Thanks! Questions about your ideal morning nap: full night sleep, or cut short at all? Ideal time awake before nap time? How long awake would then be too long?
Jeff, I'll get back to you on this when arm is healed. To tricky to type in detail today.
@@LucidDreamPortal for sure! Get back into fighting shape!
I prefer not to cut sleep short, were almost all in some kind of sleep debt most of the time. I find about 45 minutes of wakefulness works best for me... But I'm quite "sloth", it will vary a bit depending on the individual.
You are the best
Awww, that's really nice of you to say. Thank you!
@@LucidDreamPortal 💗💗💗
@LucidDreamPortal Hello! I tried meditating while walking today and I'm wondering if I'm doing it correctly. I meditate by focusing on my breathing while also noticing emotions and distractions and thinking about where they come from. I let distractions exist for a few seconds to think about them, then I return all of my focus to the breathing again. (As a side effect, the consistent breathing seems to help me remember that I'm meditating or that I'm trying to maintain a lucid mindset because my breathing will still be deep and consistent even when I forget about being lucid for a short moment, which I'll notice after a short while.)
Do you think this is an effective way to meditate? I feel like I'm struggling to find a balance between being present by noticing things happening around me, noticing my distractions and focusing on my breathing, and I feel like I'm a bit more passively present than when I'm only focusing on being lucid, so I was wondering if you have any tips so I can feel confident about my meditation/lucidity.
Hi. Would it be enough to sit everyday for 10 minutes and focus on your senses one at a time, or just your breathing? Are there more specific lucid dreaming meditation practices out there that i should be aware of?
As long as you're building the skills of focus, what you focus on isn't too important. The trick is to learn to balance between focus and distraction (mind wandering). 10 minutes is a good start. I'd aim for 30 minutes a day.
@@LucidDreamPortal gotcha, and thanks for responding!!
I'm new to this channel and recently heard about Lucid dreaming, And i have a question , How lucid dream actually feels like? Like it's feel So Real like in feeling right now?? Or is it just feel like a dream like foggy and cloudy and not so clear but can control?? 🤔
A true lucid dream feels identical to a real world experience.
Any tips for observing the breath without controlling it
It's difficult to put in words, but it basically boils down to relaxing and letting your body return to taking control over the process.
Is meditation required for lucid Dreaming?
No but it is helpful
Which type of meditation helps most with making your dreams more vivid?
Technically all REM dreams *should* be vivid, it's mostly your memory of the event that is unclear. So improving dream recall would be the best first approach. But, walking open-eye mindfulness meditations, where you fully engage your senses during waking life, will help you to do the same in dreams - which will create a stronger memory, but also focus your attention on such things. For example, if you want dreams with more scents, focus a lot on scent in your waking life.
Hey Daniel. I used the CTB (catching the butterfly) method. It works well for me. I used Is this a dream and found myself at Hogwarts lol. It's like I tied it to that place. Then I switched it to my dream goal. I then woke up and checked my phone. It didn't work. Then I went wait I'm dreaming. I then tried to spawn my crush using my cell phone. Its light was dim and I could hardly text her. It was so real. It worked twice for me last night. I have recorded tons of dreams so I get about 5 chances to WILD. I'm also doing CAT. I started waking up at 6:30 naturally so I decided to do it. I'm hyped now. Finally a method that works. Have you ever replaced is this a dream with dream goal?
