Most people sadly see their dreamworld as external to themselves. It's like when one talks about going into the nature, and to reach nature they have to use different techniques to get there, be it by foot or by car. But what they fail to realize is that nature as well as their dreamworld exists within them. By constantly looking outside of themselves for answers, they isolate themselves from nature and from their inner world of dreams.

[@artemisnite]

I was spontaneously lucid decades before I even heard the term as well. Most techniques don't help a lot. I still spontaneously do it far more than intentionally. But one thing is crucial. Recognizing your dream patterns. Like any time I meet old friends from school, I KNOW I'm dreaming. Anytime I can "leap". Anytime everything is dark and hard to see... etc. Regular reality checks do seem helpful as well.

[@ArlindoPhilosophicalArtist]

This is so right. I found techniques somewhat helpful at the initial stages of my practice. But then they started to get in the way especially when I got worked up when I failed and wondered if I was doing them wrong. But as soon as I relaxed my practice, I started having more lucid dreams. An organic approach is my way now. Sometimes I just think how nice it would be to have a lucid dream and then leave it (no obsession) only to be surprised with lucidity in a dream a couple of days later. 😄

Great video as always. My favorite part is the idea of making it organic. I've been trying to do that with school subjects and finally got there for today, resulting in my most productive day in recent memory. One thing I love about this channel is that the principles of the concepts involved in lucidity often have carryover to other areas of life

Great! This is the type of insights and direct information we all wanted. And, this is the reason your videos are now getting more views, I'm very happy to see that.

[@Skate_and_Destroy90]

This video is so very helpful. I’ve had pretty vivid dreams and pretty good dream recall my whole life but I recently decided to try and teach myself to lucid dream. I tried the MILD technique and found that it was actually affecting me negatively. I stopped having vivid dreams and could barely remember anything that happened in my dreams.

[@PabloBarzola27]

Amazing video Daniel, I started to fight with myself for being so strict because of the desire I had to have lucid dreams, one day after not being able to sleep I got angry and said well enough trying for today and I fell asleep, that same night I had 2 lucid dreams that Although they were somewhat short, but enough to understand that if I took off that pressure it would be better for me!

[@Ilovedgaming]

I'm really liking your newest videos. They are really informative and enjoyable. Thanks!

[@dreamer..098]

I have left using techniques long ago. Yet i am able to lucid dream frequently. And as time is passing my mind is accepting more creative dreams. For lucid dreams as well as normal dreams. Both are awesome. I love you Danial . Its not about lucid dream its about lucid mind ❤

[@fsr2880]

My comment seems to have disappeared, as I cannot find it. This video presents a new path - at least for me - and, like any new path before me, I pause and reflect on it. In this case, it touches on one of my weaknesses: doing without doing, letting go. I cannot begin to comprehend this, at least not yet, but my love for lucid dreaming prevents me from turning away simply because I do not understand it right now. Intellectually, I grasp it, but in practice... no. I served in the special forces for several years, and now I work in the corporate world - everything is driven by goals and objectives. My lucid dreaming practices follow the advice given on this channel to the letter: establish lucid dream goals and pathways. And now, this video... I am truly lost, for the moment, with all of this. Daniel, will there be further guidance to help deprogram the standard goal-oriented mindset and practically reshape our approach to this whole concept? Thank you for all your work.

[@Carl_Frank]

Wow. Great video! Challenging to the typical mindset, which means a lot of food for thought! I'm not sure I get all of it, but that just means I'll want to listen to this one multiple times. If it was easy to wrap my head around all this, it wouldn't be as significant, I imagine.

[@Nathan-P]

"Okay brain, what's happening now?" love it :) Thanks, Daniel. I've been metacognating on and off for years trying to develop visualization. Not being a visualizer, it was a wild experience first realizing that the subvocalization in my head was not the most basic form of thought; they were not even thoughts, but mere expressions of thought; consciously silencing that voice is difficult and uncomfortable, but I find I can better observe my mind when I'm not "speaking" every thought I have.

I really appreciate this video. I have been practicing lucid dreaming techniques on and off for years with no avail, getting more caught up in the specific techniques rather than following what works best for myself. I always had a passion for dreams, practicing ways of making them more vivid. I feel once I got caught up in all these techniques and rules, it became no fun anymore. I have to actually enjoy the process of exploring my mind. The times I've gotten close were when I wasn't following techniques to a tee and when I was having fun with it.

Insightful, true and passionate! Thank you, first of all as a sincere human being! I happened to stumble upon this video by chance, by some synchronicity. I managed to overcome the initial prejudices that I often have towards most lucid dreaming videos, which I stopped watching a long time ago because of that. This was like a sip from the Grail that reminded me of a long-forgotten "secret", which is that true approach to lucidity and dreams that you described, as a latent and open relationship with the "deep self", a relationship whose essence gives us a better flavor of everyday life, imperceptibly changes us and deepens our individuation aspirations. I have been a pioneer of lucid dreaming here in Croatia since the mid-80s and dreams are not only mine, but also my family's everyday life... our main tool and the foundation of creativity and a more fulfilling life... Just keep going, happy and cheerful- we dream of each other! :)

[@DanielLoveOrg]

So glad to have you here and very grateful for your kind words and the time taken to share them. Wishing you much lucidity and wonder! (I must visit Croatia one day!)

[@StumpedSlicken]

I think I made lucid dreaming feel like a job early on, trying to figure out what things I needed to do and trying to follow them 100%, which led to this feeling of "pressure". It felt like I was tricking my mind (and also that my mind was, in turn, trying to trick me - like I was my own enemy) into trying to like doing things in order to get a reward. Gradually, I stopped being so rigid, but I felt the "reward" part start to become a job - I needed to meet my weekly "quota" of lucids, I needed "meaningful" dream goals. Although I'm purely talking from a results-based mentality, all of that combined started to cause my lucidity to plummet and me to feel burnt out from the whole topic, like I was just following along due to the "pressure" to do so. I had an interest in dreams due to a particular dream (or a few days of dreams) where the dreams were particularly vivid and had waking affects on me. I had lost that core motivation for a while because it felt like I had to fit a rigid (or "right") mold and "I" wasn't that. It felt like a 9-5 of masquerading of a "true" lucid dreamer. I "knew" the lessons but didn't "understand" or live through them. With that being said, yea, I probably need to assess some things and pull apart what is me and what isn't. It's an on going process but so is lucid dreaming and sometimes, going back to your roots is beneficial. Great video as always! P.S. - the whole "recipe" talk was driving me crazy! I hadn't ate today and every time the word was brought up, my stomach was growling. Time to have some lunch I suppose!

[@ranaji99]

My experience is that, when we live moment by moment in the now, without past or future and so without thought, we are present and now i get lucid dreams every time, because m aware of the now always. 🌹🌹🌹🙏

[@ZoeTataki]

I am a spotaneus lucid dreamer from since i was a kid! To this day no specific techinque helped me. I usually understand that i am dreaming cause of where I am. There are whole cities in my dream so specific and same every time i recognise the place. Or sometimes something doesnt add up so i understand i am in a dream! But there are days i wake up i remember a dream i saw but never understood i was dreaming and i can think of the signs i missed to recognise. I am trying to not use any techniques the last few years and i do have lucid dreams but i want more!

I would lie there and then all of a sudden my brain would be like lets do a RC. Then I find out I'm dreaming. I honestly don't know what's going on. Perhaps you can shed some light on this? It's like an automatic thought.

[@DanielLoveOrg]

Firstly, thank you for being brilliant. But onto the question.... This is actually great news, your mind is integrating practice onto it's default mode. This is similar to what I discuss in this video, it's what we're aiming for. As you progress it will become more a part of who you are and less structured, and lucidity will become second nature. So, nothing to worry about, you're just transitioning into a more natural state of questioning reality

I have certainly occasionally fell into the trap of doing my dream journal reluctantly, just to log another day so I don't break the chain. Maybe that is just necessary sometimes, as I won't always feel super enthusiastic about journaling, and might struggle to find every dream fascinating every single day, depending on my mood, other things going on in my life, etc. But I imagine that on those days, even if I can't muster up the enthusiasm, doing the journal anyway, without enthusiasm, is better than skipping it that day, right? I'll just focus on fostering that enthusiasm so that most days I am excited about my dream journal practice.

[@netabolt6546]

i totally feel you about the Not Wanting to Journal because getting Lazy or Life gets in the way. i'm the same. the worst parts of Dreamjournaling for me is waking up, getting my journal, lay on my back because i'm too tired to sit and feeling uncomfortable but then sometimes i fall right back asleep in another dream so i have a dreamjournal open for two dreams. sometimes i oversleep and then i tend to almost forget the dream because i'm hasty to start the day wich is beginning with Breakfast - Writing - reading. but if i had a Lucid Dream then i have motivation to fill up three or four pages. i need to get back into the journal part again and stop slacking that part. another reason i sometimes hate dreamjournaling is because my writing sucks, and not only ugly unreadable writing but i also write very slow. so writing a dream down is very time consuming.

[@Carl_Frank]

@@netabolt6546 my writing is sloppy when I am wide awake, but when I’m groggy and trying to write fast before I forget something… well… Sometimes it seems like I am inventing my own shorthand or hieroglyphics. 😆 It is often tempting to use my phone to write, but not only does that preclude any sketching, but any time saved or clarity of letters gained is sometimes offset by typos or interesting auto”correct/suggest” errors that can leave me baffled later. And yes, sometimes when trying to remember dreams, I get sleepy again. I find that if I can’t immediately remember anything, it can help me to wake up more if I focus on the “dream/memory fishing” practice of interrogating myself (“Did I go to place X… Did I see person A, B, or C…. Did I feel this that or the other thing…”) helps wake me up and jog my memory centers up as it does so, instead of just waiting for memories to come back to me, which does tend to put me back to sleep. I’d say that most of the time I am enthusiastic about my journaling, and most of my dreams are interesting to me, but sometimes certain dreams are a bit boring, and I’m not getting into it. I guess that just means I need to get more interesting in my waking life, if I can, to inspire more interesting dreams.

[@dragonheart130]

@@netabolt6546 My hands are developing arthritis so writing as soon as I wake up is extremely difficult so I've found a cheap voice recorder works better for me.

[@Thegamingallstar]

I've been thinking of lucid dreaming kind of wrong. I have been fascinated by the subject but I've been trying to force my way into lucid dreams and I've gotten no results from it. This reminds me of how my first lucid dream was a night that I didn't try any technique or practice, I just let it happen. I'm going to change how I think of lucid dreaming as whole, that it is something you let happen and I'm gonna be more mindful during the day. Just like the Boy Scout motto says, I will be prepared.

you actually described how I've been approaching lucid dreaming ever since the start. It's like there's a wall I keep trying to push through, but the wall is only there because I've been percieving dream lucidity as something almost un-achieveable. How do you keep your mind on dreams throughout the day, though? it's like as soon as I wake up a switch is flipped and all my focus is on the waking world. I have a strong interest in dreams but it's almost never on my mind until I'm ready for sleep, and I think that affects my ability to lucid dream. especially because most of my dreams are non-lucid and I think im awake in them, so I'm just focused on the "waking world" still

[@netabolt6546]

due to anxiety to fall asleep (paranoid thoughts, thinking about my phobia's and bad flashing memories) i have a hard time in trying WILD technicques so with me its always Mild as i read myself to sleep (or play 3DS games) to rest my mind for obsessive and sometimes intrusive thoughts. i'm not good at Lucid Dreaming every week but every month or two months i still have Lucid Dreams. The not so good part of this is that i get Lucid Dreaming more chances when i drank a beer (i only drink one beer, three in the whole weekends, one per night) late at night, the later i drink my alcohol the weirder my dreams get and so the more chances of Lucid Dreams. as well as the days i could'nt sleep at all due to stress or loud neighbours or because of pain, then the nights after were i fell asleep insanely fast the REM Rebound gives me extreme nightmares or very weird but vivid dreams, then the chances of getting Lucid is bigger indeed. its not a good way to try beeing lucid whilst i'm drinking beer but pretty much half of my Lucid Dreams are monday's or Sundays, the times were i was drinking One Beer late at night and had like a fuzzy mind, but i guess the REM Rebound is probably the issue of bad dreams after drinking and its not that i drink to get drunk, just one beer to have a chill moment, relaxing and watching youtube etc... the latest Lucid Dream was probably somewere in September were i was flying again, through mars, the sort of wishing fullfilment. i think the next Lucid Dream i'm going to talk to my Dreamlings and ask them deep questions, That, or i'll change in another animal. i already did that at some point in a Lucid dream were i was transforming myself in a huge Crow. maybe even try find the ocean or a deep puddle and diving whilst i still could breath (i tried that somany times in Lucid dreams before but i always felt scared. maybe its the irrational fear of still not getting to breath or just my Fear of the Dark (wich is not my worst fear but i sleep with the light on so its still an issue). when its dark i think about the darkest things possible that could happen. i also read your other book Lucid The Tao of Dreaming. but i feel like i need to reread it again but way way slower as i read it in one day and in the beginning of the book you wrote that it needs to be read slow and not back to back wich is what i done but not a big issue since i'll going to reread it soon but then only one page per night. its a good and easy to read book. as allways, a great video with so much depth about it.

Hi Daniel. Love the new focus on the wider reality and consciousness instead of pandering to good algorithms by youtube with techniques and everything else. I have a question - seeing that you said in some of your videos that you can lucid dream whenever you are in the proper conditions and at will in the proper context - would you be able to make a video relating your findings in comparison to Frank Kepple Astral Pulse post - in particular - FRANK'S MODEL OF THE WIDER REALITY with the 4 types of Focus and I know that his model was based on a ground basis for Robert Monroe gateway program but I was wondering if there is any correlation or not between you and him. I realize that maybe it is too much of a discontinuity in the material from what you presented before but I thought to ask anyway. At some point in time I concentrated and did all of the major technique and I was able to lucid dream a few times; nowadays I wake up randomly between 4-6 am in the morning - stay for a bit and then go to sleep again (and I realize it is WBTB) but now whenever I am in the dream spontaneously I am able to realize I am dreaming by making the sort of questions that you presented in this video - but at this point for me it comes naturally - what does not come naturally though is that even though I am awake and realize in the dream - I cannot focus enough and bring let's say a more richer experience - meaning I always want to fly (and still the laws of physics at least for me do not disappear in my dream) instead of exploring the cosmos or the mind - but I guess this is due to the lack of practice - and me being in the middle of life with many responsibilities that are taking all of my main physical life focus. But when I was doing it in the beginning when I was much younger and I had a lot of time - I had amazing lucid dreams - one of them I still remember to these days - in which I was able to have a ROTE experience which to this day leaved me in AWE at the awesomeness of the dream - meaning that I knew all of the people in the dream and everything seemed so familiar and it made perfect sense - but when I woke up I couldn't explain and unpack the memories but in the dream I JUST KNEW - this is one of the experiences that still leaves me puzzled - it almost feels like a different life - in fact even when I woke up for a few moments I was a bit disoriented in that I didn't know which life was primary :) Good day, Ozzy

[@myscreen2urs]

This rings true. Several years ago, i got into lucid dream techniques after having a handful of them by accident. I wanted to have them deliberately. I practiced reality checks, journaled and struggled implementing wake back to sleep. While i did get more lucid dreams with these techniques, they were very hit and miss and i felt like i was just going through the motions, especially with the reality checks. The few times I had lucid dreams seem to come after not trying for a while. I was also having irregular sleep patterns and digestive issues at the time. Indigestion lends itself to it for some reason

[@bjdollcoloredpencil3273]

Very nice video:) Thank you:) You described that when you lay down in bed you try to figure out how you feel and what you mind is doing etc. Sadly my hypersensitivity would not allow me to fall back asleep.

I think part of my issue is knowing dreams are just me in an alternate or parallel universe, so to lucid would be playing god... and I would never want that kind of power, so it would never happen.

[@ishmaelmeredith7064]

I’ve been trying to lucid dream, and when I get to the point where I recognize that I’m dream I tend to wake up in sleep paralysis or I wake up and my mind is awake but my body is asleep and I’m not sure what to do, sometimes I’m kinda in denial that it’s happening but I know that my mind is awake because I can’t move my body. When I find out I’m dreaming I always say “I’m dreaming” and I can’t help it but after I say it I “wake up” not quite sure why though and since my body won’t move I feel as if the body is asleep but the mind is awake. Also for me personally I’ve noticed that in my regular dreams I can breath underwater and it seems like for me that, that might be the best way to to lucid dream and even if I’m not lucid I just start to breath underwater but once I do that I kinda have that realization that I’m dreaming. I feel like if I could make myself dream that I’m underwater it might be my chance to lucid dreaming whenever I want, but the only thing is, once I get to to point where I’m aware I wake up. Any tips?

[@LCKRD-un1rx]

After realising you are dreaming and waking up in sleep paralysis, attempt to exit your body. See what happens.

Another interesting video. This is similar to what I do but for slightly different reasons. I’ve mentioned before that I don’t do reality checks, there is no need as my mindset doesn’t require it to experience WILDs. I’m just curious Daniel, are you suggesting in this video that one would no longer need to do reality checks, which I thought was the cornerstone of your teachings (as you seem to talk about them in every live stream you do)? You made an important comment in the video… that when you were a child, you didn’t know what lucid dreaming was and you weren’t doing daily reality checks or journaling or techniques … you were simply observing that moment when your dreams began. I guess we all just need to become children again 🤔🙃😊

I think you've misunderstood a little here, the point is that these are artificial ways of inducing behaviours - not unnecessary, but inferior and more rigid to the alternative. Try watching again, it's a subtle but important point.

[@daryl4d]

@@DanielLoveOrg Yes, I see your point… you were asking the question “How do I recognize that I’m dreaming?” as an organic thought process during the day. In a sense I ask myself the same question, not directly but it’s inferred when I do my own WILD approach which is similar to yours, although the mindset is abit different in some ways. I suppose it’s different because we have our own unique set of beliefs, so exploring lucidity organically will produce slightly different mindsets. But as I mentioned before, I don’t do any reality tests during the day or when I’ve entered the dream … mainly because although on occasion I have noticed a gap in consciousness occurring before the dream starts, there is usually no break in consciousness from the waking state into the dream itself during my WILDs… and I don’t actually experience many DILDs Also, I’m not lucid dreaming every night, I do have life distractions and I do value my non-lucid dreams as well, so I admit I do have room for improvement Again, all in all this is an important video… I’ll recommend it 👍 And I think I’ll watch it a third time 😬

I always know I am in a dream and recently had a strange dream that a crazy joker character tried to hurt me and I said, this is a dream, you can't hurt me here. I used to think everyone could do this, did not know it was a thing. I also dream about people who used to live in my home but are not alive anymore.

And so the midway between LD techniques and flow-let go is ... a hybrid ... technique. A technique, in which you don´t mind over the result, to become lucid in your dreams. You just do, without doing. Simply be aware of your (inner) senses. That´s SSILD. Not like WILD, where you put pressure to stay lucid. Or with MILD, where you visualize, that you become lucid and farther force it with Mantras, that you must and will become lucid.

Interesting thing is when I'm really frustrated and fed up about not being able to lucid dream after doing all kinds of techniques and ridiculous amounts of reality checks all day, give up and just sleep, BOOM spontaneous lucid dream like crazy! Flying in the air, swimming down oceans and meeting giant sea creatures etc etc 😅

[@livrowland171]

What are the benefits of lucid dreaming ? Just entertainment, or does it have other positive results ? If it's good for us psychologically why is it rare naturally?

[@jaiy1321]

Question. What type of mind set should I be having if Im performing IMP?

[@DanielLoveOrg]

The same as outlined in this video. I intend to do a deeper exploration of mindset in a later video.

Hey guys I’m new to lucid dreaming and haven’t done it yet, can someone give me like a sure way I can get to do it for the first time and continuously?

[@DanielLoveOrg]

There is no one sure way, but this channel will helpmyou learn the skills.

Do you advise against taking melatonin if you are trying to have a Lucid Dream? I seem to see an equal amount of people for and against it when I try to research it.

[@Rfighter7]

Ive been lucid dreaming for 36 years. I’m 39 now. I don’t know why I do and honestly I don’t want to. I wish I never did. Seeing beings of light and temples made of water and meeting dead family members is freaky. I paint and draw them now because it’s to much to keep internal so I have to get them out. I hate it, I lucid dream almost 4 times a week it sucks

I have a question and I'm hoping you might be able to answer it. Is it possible to use lucid dreaming as a way to manifest things or situations into our lives? For example, lets say I need a new couch, but I can't afford it. Do you think it's possible to combine visualization, faith, and lucid dreaming to make it a reality? I'm a student of Neville Goddard and his lectures seem to point to this. Not that I only want to lucid dream if it brings me results or anything. I genuinely enjoy lucid dreaming and OBEs for the sake of the fun experiences I have, and that I get to work through some of life's challenges. But I've just never tried to combine it with manifestation, and the thought didn't cross my mind until recently. So I'm just curious if you've had any experience in this area. Thanks 🙏

[@jacktheartcreator]

no that would not work. sorry. the mind and dreams are hallucinations and chemical reactions. nothing to do with magic. faith or reality manipulation. it's controlled hallucinations behind close eyelids. lucid dreaming won't help you get a new couch get a job or get a better paying job. and buy a couch. b

It's funny because I've noticed that I have habits in my dreams that I have irl for example snapchatting my mates about what I'm doing and they snapchat me back as well but sometimes the mate in my dream is some random celebrity and I just don't question it and then I wake up and I'm like damn why was I not suspicious that David Tennant was my mate haha

Daniel, i got a quick question: i was looking around your website because i wanted to check out your book "are you dreaming", maybe even buy it, but i couldnt find a digital version for it. I remember seeing one on amazon a while back, but now the only one i see there is the paperback. Am i just looking in the wrong place, or has it been taken down from amazon? Also, if i recall correctly, it was a kindle version. Does that mean i need to have a kindle to read it, or does that work on other devices? If you could provide me some info on this, i would highly appreciate that

[@DanielLoveOrg]

I think you were probably on the wrong tab, amazing defaults to paperbacks. Here's a direct link: www.amazon.com/Are-You-Dreaming-Exploring-Comprehensive-ebook/dp/B00AZO9TY4 You can also get the pdf version here: www.thelucidguide.com/shop?Collection=Lucid%20Dreaming%20Books

I have tried many 10s probably 100s of times and have never ever suceeded to have a Lucide dream. My problem is, very fast I fall into a sleep AND I rarely see dreams in general. If I have a dram I try to remember as much as possible through out the day sometimes even write it down. Anyway, that said, if I very rarely have a dreams does that mean most likrely I ill never be able to have a lucid dream?

[@MagicBlu3]

Hello:) I watched the video several times now. Just to get everything:) When you do the morning nap have you slept your full sleeping hours like e.h. 7.5 h before or do you sleep a shorter time stay some time awake and that do the nap ?

[@DanielLoveOrg]

This is where I recommend people use the ART technique to assess the best timing, the choose accordingly. Over time this becomes second nature and you just intuitively know if you should return to sleep or stay awake a while.

After I went to my bed I observe my thouths. I begin to hear "fake" sound or I am in another pace doing something else. When I become conscius of that it "surprises" me and then I am back to reality. An half our is passed and i get a bit of insomnia. Dose Anyone have an advice for me? Sorry for the grammar, I am italian.

These are called hypnagogic hallucinations, and can lead to a "hypnic jerk". Which is what you're describing.

How often do u lucid dream in a week Daniel ?

[@DanielLoveOrg]

The easiest way to answer this isn't with a number but a statement, which is: I can lucid dream whenever I choose to do so. That will vary depending on circumstances, but the overly simplified answer would be "every night" - but of course life isn't ever that straightforward

For what it's worth, Ecclesiastes in the Bible also talks about letting things happen and accepting your circumstances. Moving forward, I want to keep track of what I've done throughout the day at the end of the day, so that I can practice memory, observation, and insight about my own life.
