The dictionary defines Lucid dreaming as, “being aware you are dreaming while dreaming.” That’s the same exact definition that I use in the video below. It’s basic, right to the point, and all that can really be said about it short of actually experiencing it. Me saying that lucid dreaming is amazing, fantastic, eye-opening, and enlightening only goes so far as to communicate what it really is.
A frequently asked question in regards to lucid dreaming is how do you do it? While there are a lot of different techniques such as maintaining a thought while in the hypnagogic state, reality checks, and other things, I find that what works for me is just being aware of all of the little things that are going on throughout my day. Another key thing is that you have to be open to it. If you’re reading this, or watching my video, and saying that this is bullshit, then you probably won’t have a lucid dream due to the fact that your mind is closed to it.
Just breath, be open, and don’t force it. Do some more research if you want, but I think that the first step is letting go of a lot of things that cause you stress or worry. This is a great website with answers to the many questions that people have: http://www.lucidity.com/LucidDreamingFAQ2.html
Sweet dreams.
yo its real i do it all the time. sometimes i even see things tht happen later on in real life but dont remember them til it already happens
yo its crazy cause i always tried lucid dreaming but it never worked then just lastnight after watching that video i did it hahah its greatt
thanks for the link bro your givin me a lot more insight, and randy, you just made me realize that dreaming of things and then forgetting about them until they really happen is probably the reason behind deja vu : )
*ian so sorry.
Nice video! I have tried keeping a dream journal/diary in the past but never really keep up with it.. I have had lucid dreams in the past but more often I was having these Inception like dreams, I would “wake up” only to be in another dream. In the end there would be multiple dreams within dreams, yet each time I recognized the fact that the previous dream was not real. It was almost a lucid dream but not quite there. Not really sure what they were all about?
To Ian, I have had those deja vu dreams too, so weird! Do you ever realize your dream will happen right after dreaming? That’s what happens to me, but I still end up forgetting until it happens…
