A Dream Almost KILLED Me! (Saved By Lucid Dreaming)

[@DanielLoveOrg]

Please all pay heed to the warning in this video! Safe dreams, and much lucidity to you all!

[@Sonofsun.]

I'm glad you're ok

[@ShanviGhimire-e8y]

Glad that you are still here

[@kikorangi8]

This is absolutely terrifying. Thank goodness you were lucid and could get safe.

[@Vaporwaving]

You have literally been preparing for that moment most of your life. Bravo! Really glad you’re ok Daniel.

[@henrik3019]

What a tale! Had me on the edge of my seat, great storytelling! I wasn't sure initially but when you were changing your dream environment and the smell persisted, that's when it hit me that it could be some kind of external factor seeping into your dream. Extremely glad you are safe and sound now, and able to tell us the tale, what a horrible thing. I'll keep these lessons in mind for sure!

[@DanielLoveOrg]

Thanks Henrik, it really was quite an unpleasant experience - but I'm glad that something positive came out of it - and hopefully it will save others from similar experiences, or worse.

[@nicolasgirardin3656]

man i used to watch hippies and then i watched your correct video on mild and i had my first lucid dream that night. Thanks you for taking the time to teach the proper technique you got a sub

[@connerlee6494]

MILD really is a very effective technique when used correctly! It's a shame it's taught everywhere as only saying a mantra.

[@josemiqueias4958]

Lucid dreams are the game-changer

[@mikkareads]

Ok, I did not expect the title to have such a literal meaning! But I'm very, very glad you were lucid and thought to wake yourself up like that. Geez, as if you needed more stress atm.... Twentysomething years ago, my sister was woken up by her dog barking and howling outside (it was sommer and he slept in the garden), and when she opened her bedroom door to go check what was up, she immediately smelled it - half of the downstairs level of her house was already burning, but her kids and her got out in time. They would most likely never have woken up, the upper level would just have filled up with smoke. In this case, it was a very old TV that had caused the fire.

[@gazparcho9931]

As they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, hope you don't have to go through that again, much love!

[@Bobby_101]

Similar thing happened to me. Just with normal dreams, there was smoke constantly there, and after a few dreams I think it just naturally woke me up, and I found someone forgot a pot with oil on the fire in the kitchen and it caught fire and the whole apartment was full of smoke. I poured water in it, at the time I didn't know I shouldn't do that, so the fire just became even bigger and the fiery oil splashed all around making other things catch on fire also. Then I took and threw the pot out the window (Even thought I should have just closed it). That worked.

[@justaguyfromglasgow2251]

You now owe your life to lucid dreaming! Great and terrifying story!

[@zinsy23]

That's crazy! Glad you're safe now! As soon as you started talking about (the unusual thing in the kitchen), I could see where this was going! I had a dream about a year or two ago where multiple things started on fire throughout the dream. It didn't correlate with waking life in any way and I wasn't lucid, but it made me realize that literally any electronic I have in my room or throughout the house (hundreds) could start on fire at any given time! That thought scared me for a little while and still does somewhat. This experience only proves that! In my experience, I don't recommend cheaping out on power supply related stuff or any electronics really, because they might have a bad design that makes it way more susceptible to this issue! I wouldn't recommend charging at night or at all really if the battery is pretty close to degraded because, from my understanding, the opposite poles get closer to each other as the battery degrades and eventually gets to where they touch each other and cause an explosion/fire! Definitely nice to have a class C extinguisher around for most electronics and will leave less residue than an ABC or other combination.

[@nived.s973]

wow, it gave me chills. Glad you are alright daniel. I know i am a little late telling this, but i was suprised!!!

[@tanyabrown9839]

Thank you for sharing this. I would of certainly woken myself up too at that point (I think I would have got worried about that smell sooner). I was fascinated to hear what you actually have to do things to wake yourself up, I just tell myself to wake up and open my eyes up and Im awake. Fire alarms often wont go off till the smoke is quite thick. I often use a very smoking smudge stick all through my house and that doesnt set off smoke alarms. I had a very strange lucid dream one time in which there was a house fire and a little child who was going to be burnt to death if I couldnt rescue her. So I set out to rescue this one in the LD. The strange thing was that no matter what I did in this dream, she ended up always being engulfed by flames, I just could not rescue her. Though this was a dream it left me feeling quite upset. A few days later I see the same little girl on the news, she'd just burnt to death in a house fire.

[@sherrys5172]

Glad you are ok, I imagine waking up to that would be terrifying. Keeping a cool head is key, easier said I know. As far as the dream /dream state goes it seems like you were at a point where the outside enviornment was causing you to start to wake leading to lucidity before waking and luckily your awareness within the dream led you to realise smell is not a part of your dreams typically and you knew how to test scenes and wake yourself before the environment had to. Amazing. Interesting too thinking about it that all the other senses seem to be involved in my lucid dreams or just dreams in general that I recall but not smell had never really thought about that before just recently when I'm in that just falling asleep but kind of a little bit still awake sometimes I'll hear music playing and it's only happened like the past 2 months and a couple times but I typically don't have that happen and that early phase I guess it's trying to let me know that I was falling asleep, recognizing that I was hearing music that shouldn't be there made me realize I was starting to fall asleep but that being at the very beginning of the sleep cycle was strange I have had music seldomly maybe once or twice in my dreams that are lucid but not often or lately so hearing music at what seems to me to be an early stage of drifting off a few times the past couple of months is new and interesting to me. Question: what could cause and how do you break out of a dream that is a cycle of false awakenings you get up you wake up you realize you're lucid go along with that and then you wake up and the same thing happens over and over and then you start to wonder why when you're totally lucid you are stuck not really waking up it can be a little bit frightening feeling stuck in a dream of just false awakenings totally lucid.

[@kapwinng]

Woah, that’s nuts, not just about the battery (not charging anything overnight anymore, was already a little paranoid) but that you had the wherewithal to figure out what was going on. Phew, glad you didn’t get toasted!!

[@SariennMusic73]

Jesus I'm so glad you're still with us. How terrifying. Glad you knew how to wake out of it.

[@simonnaylor7983]

Thanks for sharing this. I have to admit I often charge my phone overnight but will stop this now.

[@tanyabrown9839]

I just spent 5 mins thinking about what you said about scent being rare in dreams...and realize that you are right in that. I can not remember in any of my dreams actually smelling something. thanks for teaching me something new.

[@SaffrinianOfficial]

Staying’ alive…

[@DanielLoveOrg]

[@Karin-eo2oc]

I am very glad that nothing happened to you. I also had a dream in which I had intensely perceived smells from my surroundings. But I was not lucid and if it hadn't been a harmless smell, it could have ended badly

[@Discphantom]

This is the scariest thing I heard all month and today is only the 1st of July... what the hell, you are one lucky man to be alive!

Oh gosh. It was literally literally lucid dreaming 😮. Glad that you are ok.

[@JimmyTarragon]

Cool story man! Glad you're alright. 👍

[@jamesallen5872]

Stopped at 1:50 as instructed. I suspect that a lucid dream gave you a warning not to do something and later it seemed that if you had done it it might have been fatal.

[@theodorandrews3589]

Thank you for sharing this extraordinary experience! I liked the part where you mentioned the English countryside like "meh. Birds and trees🙄". 😂 As far as I remember I never really smell anything in a dream. Have to check this out in the next LD.

[@Iodine_53]

Hi Daniel I'm glad you are ok. I have a question that is not related to this video but I am really curious if it really works. So my question: there are certain oils that if entered via the nose while asleep decrease REM sleep. Lavender for example, so if you put some lavender close to your bed so you can smell it and later at night remove it. (before a REM period) Will this effectively induce a REM rebound because your previous REM periods where decreased and now that the lavender is gone you will get a more vivid rem period? Does this work? is it healthy? (might be a stupid question don't know)

[@jerryg9924]

Glad you're safe! I'll refrain from charging my phone overnight from now on

[@j-dog7767]

I told this story before but my all day awareness for lucid dream practice probably saved my life while driving.

[@jmalicthehedgehog-canaldem3476]

Lucid dreams could sabe muy life by two ways: 1.° Preparing me for any situation of danger (been following by murders, or just trying to scape from apocalypse). 2°. Watching the "future" (i mean, the posible dangers during my life with my actions).

[@elpretender1357]

My guess is that years ago you felt awful because of something you did or were severely depressed, then in a dream a dead relative appeared to you, you realized it was a dream and started asking for live advice, maybe then yo brought more relatives to the dream and had a family talk with them, they passed their wisdom into you and the experience was so heartwarming you started feeling like this live is worth it, and after that dream you started making positive changes and thins started to go better. Maybe I exagerated?

[@portascar7996]

1:44 I would guess its a car that would kill you but because you are more aware of whats going on around you, probably wrong but just a guess

[@Sonofsun.]

Hey Daniel how does eating before bed affect things like dream recall and chances of lucidity? Say I ate dinner about an hour before bed. Something not too heavy on the stomach. Does the digestion of food interfere with certain dreaming conditions? Been wondering if I need to change up my meal times. Thanks for reading!

[@Hannah-bv1jn]

That is terrifying I'm glad you are safe.

[@chocolategames7986]

Hey mate can u please give me some advice last night when I was dreaming I did a reality check and of course my finger went through my palm and i had 6 fingers but for some reason I didn’t go lucid I was trying the mild technique before I went to sleep can u tell me why I didn’t go lucid please?

[@DanielLoveOrg]

Just so you are aware, those reality tests are unreliable - so you'd be better off using the nose pinch test. But, more important that the test, is that you have the right mindset - that you take the time to clearly and genuinely question if you are dreaming. It sounds to me like you are doing reality tests out of habit rather than with a mindful awareness. Put more effort into mindfulness :)

[@notthoughtzz7207]

As soon as he said he still smelt the burning in a clear open environment i immediately knew what happened

[@dwarney5280]

I don't think i'm smart but here's my guess: You were talking to a dream character and he told you don't do this or that in this exact time in the future (too many possibilities) but like for example don't go to this place this week cause there's going to be a wildfire surrounding that place and you're gonna die? and then you discovered later that people who actually did that thing (whatever it is) died.

[@Slyeyewalker]

Absolutely incredible luck. I nailed the guess btw Haha Glad you’re okay prof 🙏🏾

[@DanielLoveOrg]

Thanks Eye Walker! - It was definitely lucky to have the lucidity to assess the situation - goodness knows what would have happened otherwise!

[@StumpedSlicken]

As soon as I clicked the video, I saw a comment about unplugging all the plugs in a house, so, based on that, I can only guess that there was an electrical fire. Parts of the waking world can seep into your dreams, like sounds from a TV or a fan. Knowing this, either the fire alarm or the smoke from the fire slipped into the lucid dream, alarted you, and you woke up since, in the dream world, there was nothing that would cause either. If my guess is correct, I thank the commenter because I would have not guessed that. Edit: wow...that's scary! I'm glad that everything ended up alright! I was wondering why there was no video last week, but geez, if I was in that situation, I wouldn't be able to sleep, post, or stream for a while. To be honest, I'm a bit paranoid because I do tend to charge my phone/headphones at night if I'm not using them to fall asleep. I also have my TV and fan plugged in all the time as well due to needing light and sound to fall asleep (soft sound and enough light where I can see down the hallway clearly). I'm glad that you are alright and I was not expecting this type of topic to be in the first lucid dream storytime video. I thought that the LEDs in the background would spark, so, wasn't expecting a message of "don't charge things overnight" at the end. Thanks for the video though. I understand that things like that can scare a person, but, thanks for uploading! Take your time if you need it.

[@Gabitza379]

I'm gonna guess you couldn't breath very well and that might have transferred into the dream. If you have any big prts like dogs, cats, maybe they sat on your face, or perhaps you slept in a very very wrong position. Edit: Well, turns out I wasn't too far from the truth, but the situation was much worse. Glad you're ok, Dan!

[@jasonsimpson1895]

I suffer from Narcolepsy where you go into REM sleep with in 2 min of falling asleep. A lot of times i feel my body becoming paralyzed before I'm actually asleep. Anyways, i know I'm dreaming about 90% of the time and my dreams are epic... everything you could possibly imagine good and bad i do it. Fight like bruce lee, fly, orgies with the hottest chicks, sky diving with no parachute just for the thrill of the fall, but i always wake myself just before i hit the ground, hitting the ground is way to intense

[@Super3punks]

Glad you ok Daniel i Wonder if this will affect your dreams in the future? maybe you flying round in space wondering if you left the front door open. i was hoping it was a bit more Woo Woo though lol

[@DanielLoveOrg]

It has definitely made me a lot more cautious pre-sleep. I really recommend everyone take the advice from this video.

[@danieleanzaldi]

another lucky aspect of this situation probably is that you're a minimalist so depending on where the battery pack was when it went on fire it didn't have many chances of attaching to other objects and spread across the room

[@DanielLoveOrg]

Absolutely spot on, it wasn't completely safe, but definitely considerably safer than pre-minimalism!

[@James-lb7yd]

I'm glad that you are ok. I have only once can recall a smell within the dream. Nothing like what you experienced, just a fruity hand soap. Again, thankfully you are ok.

[@barnabyvonrudal1]

Pretty amazing and cool. How did you put it out?

[@doudoumouri]

I guessed something like that but I thought like there would be a running theme of water (maybe a tsunami or something) and that is because there’s a water leak in the waking world so I guessed that the outside world had a bad situation that was implemented in the world but close enough :P

[@DreaMist4256]

[@samuelzins5089]

[@theteenageexperiment1356]

My only guess (not that I think this is what occurred only that it's all that I can think of) Is that you were feeling suicidal and a dream character told you that you need to say on earth because of x y z.

OMG, I cannot believe that story lol.The critical thinking mindset you seem to possess has certainly paid off.

[@thelostgirl101]

Wow, I'm glad you are okay.

[@danielleswan3602]

Oh no! You must have given my subconscious clues with more recent videos. So happy you smelled the burning! I used to be a first responder… so not leaving lithium batteries plugged in has become as automatic as putting on my seatbelt… but damn! Also, wear your seatbelt! And make sure your kids are strapped in properly too! I don’t care if you need to drive 100 miles with your little goblin screaming their head off, strap ‘em up!! No excuse!!!

[@bangtwitterandtwicetagram830]

First of all I am really happy you were safe, that dream really came in clutch. Second, do you have a really old device in your room? Because most modern devices are created to not overcharge. Or maybe it overheated? I’m not sure. Anyways, either way I’m glad you’re safe! :D
