I'll give it a crack. I'm living through hell right now, and I could do with a cosy lucid dream to escape to. Fingers crossed.

[@anonymous_opinions1924]

Haha here goes Edit: well damn. My like-induced-lucid-dream never happened.

[@ameennasar2583]

I have a plan... Sorry, many plans

[@mikkareads]

My best friend used to feature in my lucid dreams a LOT, and he was the most atypical dream character imaginable. He often told ME that it was a dream, and he liked to let me know if he thought it was boring or messed up. All in his typical sarcastic drawl that was so spot-on that I sometimes had to remind myself that it was not really him.

[@samsfierybush8450]

that's cute hahaha

[@ameennasar2583]

Is your friend an existential speaker in real life too?

[@SebastianCruikshank-Tischler]

No way my best friends character does the same in my lucid dreams once I even was convinced by them that I wasn't dreaming and the lucid dream ended

[@MainTain4life]

i was trying to have lucid dream for all the wrong reasons . now i want to lucid dream but not do anything but just enjoy a nice scenery. or even try a form of meditation while being lucid in a dream and relax .

[@phildiop8248]

the dream control loop is so accurate. In my last long lucid dream, I was trying to make a place behind a door, but the door had a see-through glass window, so I could see the outside. When I opened the door it was unexpectedly unchanged. I tried a bunch of times until I lost lucidity.

[@kikorangi8]

I wouldn’t be surprised if this were the only video with this title on KZbin that actually provides genuinely useful information.

[@themagicgorilla5973]

Great video! I stopped practicing lucid dreaming a few months ago, due to joining and wanting to focus on a new school where I study animation. I've been thinking about starting dream journaling and reality checking again, and becoming more active again.

[@DanielLoveOrg]

Definitely don't give it up completely, it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing equation, with casual training you can still have semi-regular lucidity. It may help inspire animation!

[@johnathanjoestar3177]

Just had my first Lucid dream. Loved it, I got to see my deceased dogs :)

[@DanielLoveOrg]

Congratulations, and what a lovely way to spend your first lucid dream!

[@Daralima.]

Number 4 is a good thing to remember. When I last became lucid I just ran around excited and worried trying to stabilize my dream and then it ended. Great video Daniel.

[@realnateturner]

Great video Daniel! It is sad to see that a lot of the items on the list appear in viral TickTock videos, it really ruins it for a lot of kids that want to try this but are to afraid

[@jaredmcdonough5309]

The dream character is one I need to work on, with a caveat. It’s not regular dream characters, the vast majority of them I can ignore. It’s more a specific kind that pop up every now and again that act like “Yes, this is a lucid dream, and we’re here to watch”, or pull on specific social triggers. I’m also a little concerned about not staying still. To deal with my control issues, the last time I got lucid I tried moving to or creating a minimalist environment with no distractions to work on the fundamentals. That sounds like the vaccum you described that a dream would likely try to fill in. But most importantly: No warnings about mirrors or asking your dream characters how you’re going to die or other stuff nicked from a creepypasta forum? I feel cheated and call shenanigans!

[@freziaplanet4198]

Again, I can't state enough how much I love your vids. I don't lucid dream much myself because I'm lazy and inconsistant with it, but I do enjoy to know there is someone willing to teach people the truth about it. Here is a comment for algorithmo.

[@Joshmakey12]

You should make a video on false awakenings. Seems like a thing that easily can happen that many may not realize. (I sometimes forget to reality test when I believe I have awoken)

[@danielleswan3602]

Dang! I love how much you make me think! I still don’t feel totally lucid in my dreams, but I’m so thankful that you’ve taught me enough to realize I can just… I dunno the exact words, but I can feel things going “wrong” or “scary” and I can choose to make them better… and sometimes I wait and see how scary it might get, because I know I’ll be able to “choose my way” out of it… ugh! I wish I had better words! Mainly, I should do more reality checks when I think I’m awake!

[@frabajille]

Its amazing how my experience in lucid dreaming gets so reflected in your advices. You really know your bid here. Thanks Daniel

[@urchininalittlemetalcage]

a great one, loving how practical these were. especially the fourth one: worrying about waking up - makes so much sense and yet I've never thought about it that way. i hope I'll get to put it in practice as soon as i get out of my smeggin' massive dry spell period!

[@vvishwakarthik]

I'm having a dry spell too! And I'm fed up of it!! But watching this channel's videos always gives me some tip to get out of my dry spell, which is why I love this channel!!

[@CheezyCEAnimation]

That explains the inconsistent cabinet portal. I kept opening and shutting it and trying to escape a room that had no windows. Keep informing Daniel.

[@kikorangi8]

Thank you so much for this. These are really important points to remember. I really struggle with a few of them. Regarding #10: Before I had experienced lucid dreaming myself, I was always confused whenever I read or heard that it's easy to forget your dream goal. Well, I can now safely say... It is!

[@gummisnoodable]

Crazy couple of weeks. Been AWOL. Great content as usual!

[@justaguyfromglasgow2251]

Something I've always wanted to mention in my videos at some point is what you said...... Being to present or in the moment can leave a gap for the dream to take over and lead you into an unconscious normal dream. I've also fell into the trap of believing the dream characters are too real and therefore lost lucidity.. I tend to run or walk about doing the opposite from the wakened state of being (still) and keep thinking or even, reminding myself that I am dreaming by doing reality checks etc. Great video as always!

[@HonkaPa]

Thank you Daniel. Great video as always! For once, not-to-do list for lucid dreamers that makes sense! But should I look in a mirror in my dream? 🤔

[@mitchellplays1440]

1:37 I agree with that most the times I had a lucid dream I have no plan and just end up flying the whole dream

[@JoJoNinJacat]

Anyone notice the numbers in his glases change depending on what number you are at

[@theodorandrews3589]

Interesting video, thanks for that! For example, I find myself more than often in a lucid dream and don't know what to do. It's ridiculous! Then I'm just flying around or walk through a wall. I forget simple things like watching the dream environment carefully. Anyway, thanks again, it's very useful be remembered of certain things

[@zinsy23]

Great video! I'd say my main problems right now are #6, 5, and 4. #6 and 4 has to do with my habit of thinking about stability or waking up, whether in the dream or the process of dream formation in a WILD. I think the simple answer to that one is to just focus on what's going on as if those thoughts aren't there at all. I still struggle because it's become a habit and I need practice to get out of it. It often happens too quickly that it's too late by the time I remember to do this simple thing. Things work out when I think of it before it's too late. I think that's why I've been having better luck with WILDs when I manage to actually enter a lucid dream successfully and already know what I need to do. Don't let that habit form in the first place; it's hard to get out of! With #5, sometimes, forms of dream control don't work right away, but I've found it eventually will with repetition. With flying, it may take 2-5 tries before I end up in the air. I often go either too fast that I end up in the sky almost instantly and lost where I am (as I still want to be where I am, just flying about tree height), or slow that I touch the ground again and am no longer flying. That might be why it doesn't always work right away; just being too cautious to avoid those things. It somehow works much better in non-lucid dreams when flying as I'm unaware of the problems at the time. I may just need to increase my sense of distance to the sky because it's a lot more than what my dreams normally model.

[@artlemagne]

Reality check reminder!!

[@vishweshnair8766]

Today I have been getting some lucid dreams lately but they are ending really quick I now know that I failed to plan ahead what to do in my dream. Thanks Daniel for this video. 👍

[@vishweshnair8766]

Also I get some lucid or semi lucid dream without reality check they are mostly triggered by some emotions in my dream like fear frustration or boredom is it normal.

[@doctordikar3470]

Also, it's preferable to avoid contacs with dream characters who want you to do something for them.

[@jfk3650]

Is a good reality test looking at my watch, looking away and looking back, because I do that one and the nose reality test.

[@DanielLoveOrg]

It is a good *part* of a reality test, but try not to think of them as a single action/test, but a mindset with the tests as the conclusion to a strategy of interrogating reality.

Next time I become lucid I wont worry about waking up negative thinking always ruined my lucid dreams I remember commanding the dream to make specific dream characters appear with a lack of confidence I felt unworthy and no one didn't appear I have to focus on positive thoughts

[@stockpilethomas7900]

In the past,I find sex just a distraction because you get excited then lose focus on the dream. When you go around telling dream characters that you dreaming. I one cool thing in the past I have done was control you dream characters by thinking it in you mind for what you want them to do . Just don't tell them out loud in your dream. It's seems they will just get mad at me.

[@lordofrage1209]

Every time I go to sleep, I always have a clear goal for my lucid dreams, but I always end up forgetting them when I actually become lucid. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

Oh boy, I hope what you said about the like button is true. Maybe if I leave a comment I'll get two. Maybe a long comment could lead to omilucidity? Interesting video. I thought this video was going to go in a whole other direction at first, but, glad it didn't go where I thought it would. I will say, I've experienced less than what I thought I would have - only 7, 6, 5, 4, and 1 are ones I've encountered. It's probably because I'm a bit new. 6 is a warning to everyone - if you have bad expectations, they will play out in dreams. One night, I woke up from a short lucid and fell back asleep pretty quickly, however, I was worried about sleep paralysis. I fell back into a dream (same cycle, so, can't really say they were two different lucids) and, because I was so worried, I couldn't control my own thoughts about my fears and they started popping up in the dream. Another example I've had was from remembering some twaddle, which led to a dream character starting a fight with me. Luckily, my emotions were with me and I had control over myself and could do some cool stuff to not get hit. 4 I struggle with a lot, as I've "fought" to keep in the dream. It's like I'm either floating or falling and trying to grasp at the dream, only for everything to fade. I often panic and start trying harder, which doesn't help. 1 is also interesting as, in my longest lucid, I had difficulty with dream control at first. I went up to a dream character (who I called my subconscious) and asked why I couldn't control anything. He was playing around a bit, but, he basically said what Daniel said in this video - that I was in control and I just needed to relax a bit. After that, I fell out of lucidity before I regained it with more control. Hopefully I can take some stuff out of this video and use it tonight! Just a thought but, could "playing along" with believing dream characters are real people increase dream clarity? I'm drawing that from the belief that shifters think that they are in a different reality partly due from interacting with dream characters, meaning their experiences seem more real. Is there some way that this could help with the clarity of lucid dreaming? Great video as always!

[@connerlee6494]

I have a bad habit of "grasping" at the dream too when it feels like I'm getting pulled out of it. One time it felt like I was getting pulled up into the sky by some invisible force, I panicked and kept trying to touch my feet to the ground again. I woke up with my legs still moving the same way in bed lol

[@StumpedSlicken]

@@connerlee6494 Oh lord, I can only imagine that. Luckily, mine are mostly mentally yelling at myself to try and keep the dream going or me trying to grab. It would be weird if I woke up with my arms moving around though!

Do you think having deep conversations with dream characters can be helpful so long as you understand you are really just having a deep conversation with yourself in a way?

[@DanielLoveOrg]

Absolutely, dream characters are fascinating and there is a lot more to them than I can cover in a short section of a ten minute video. This particular point is designed to stop people losing lucidity due to a common error, but it is certainly not saying that dream characters are not worth investigating... this is a deep subject, KZbin videos really don't allow for enough depth and nuance.

[@LazerusPhantom]

Remembering that we are the controllers of our dreams is feeling a little buggy. Do you really can manifest what you want directly in every aspect and every time ? I think we can direct and give it a push to the dream in the direction we want but fully manifesting is not so easily possible. When we are lucid dreaming we give the directions to our unconsciousness and our unconsciousness does the manifesting part. What do you think ?

[@DoraemonFan-ww3jm]

Is it OK if you fake your emotions in a lucid dream?

[@DanielLoveOrg]

I'm not entirely sure I follow. It would be ok, but you'd not be fooling anyone as you're the only person in your lucid dreams (all the dream characters are aspects of your own imagination).

[@swvch]

i dont do reality tests nor do i say things related to what i want to do in my dream i use my inner lucid brains monologue to do all that. i find if you tell your dream your intentions it tries to wake you up. ie dont say youre dreaming out lout say it in your mind. ive started breaking down dream work to why cant i do things. like punch or run and scream so i go out of my way to do those things work.
