if you're learning how to lucid dream then you probably want to learn the very best
lucid dreaming techniques but it's a minefield of a subject so in today's video i'm going
to share with you five of the best lucid dreaming techniques so let's get started
hi dreamers well in today's video i'm going to guide you through five of the best lucid
dreaming techniques this subject can be a bit of a minefield with endless techniques
all usually with strange sounding names like filed siled mild generally there's quite a bit of isles
involved in this subject but let's cut through the nonsense and look at the very best lucid dreaming
techniques let's jump in to the list but before we get started have you subscribed to this channel

don't be mindless be mindful and subscribe and also whilst you're here why don't you hit the
like button and leave your comments below when the video is over number five the impossible movement
practice or imp for short this has to be one of the easiest and certainly the simplest lucid
dreaming techniques and it's ideal for beginners who want to try lucid dreaming but aren't ready
to invest all of their energy into becoming a master of lucid dreaming now this is one of my
own techniques and first appeared in my book are you dreaming many many years ago so pick
up a copy of are you dreaming if you want the full detailed analysis and technique for imp
so what is imp essentially well what you're doing is you're imagining an impossible movement so this
is a wake initiated lucid dream technique or wild technique now wild is one of the two ways
you can get lucid and wild is essentially when you fall asleep consciously you maintain awareness as
you fall asleep so this is a perfect technique for when you wake up in the middle of the night
and you're ready to fall back asleep but you want to maintain your awareness as you do that
this can also be used if you wake up in the morning and have a bit of time for a continued
nap so what you'll do once you've woken up naturally during the night you'll lie there
as still as you can but not you don't have to be deathly still if you need to scratch your move
feel free to move and you focus on your body and whatever position you're lying in you attempt
to imagine a movement that would be impossible in that position so if you were laying down on your
back and your hand was flat against the mattress it would be impossible to move your hand like this
because the mattress would stop you being able to do that so you imagine that physical movement now
of course you're not really performing that movement you're just imagining it and you
continue to do that as you fall back to sleep and eventually as the dream forms as your dream body
forms the imagined movement will feel as if you've really moved and when that happens you know that
you've transitioned into your dream body and from there on you can have a wake initiated lucid dream
number four the dreamwalker technique now this is another of my own lucid dreaming techniques
and essentially what i did with dreamwalker was i attempted to take the best bits of all the
lucid dreaming techniques out there and to combine them into one technique so this isn't a mindless
technique based on speculation it's a very uh thoughtful technique that is attempting to
highlight all of the absolutely necessary elements of lucid dream induction now dreamwalker is also
a wake initiated lucid dream induction technique or a maintained awareness induction technique so
this is something that you'll perform when you wake up naturally in the middle of the night or
in a morning nap or if you want to get really uh focused when you perform a wake back to bed
that's when you naturally interrupt your sleep with with an alarm in order to perform a lucid
dreaming technique in the middle of the night but i wouldn't recommend doing weight back to bed too
often now rather than going to all of the details of dreamwalker there is a full tutorial of that
technique here on the channel so i'll leave a link in the video description below so that you can
learn how to perform greenwalker yourself but essentially dreamwalker is a complete
visualization system that has a daytime practice and a nighttime practice and should be something
you really invest your energy into as a daily and nightly practice it's not something you want to do
light-heartedly because it won't work if you just dip into it you really have to invest your time
into this technique but you can do so knowing that it is a very well-rounded technique
that covers the full psychological spectrum required for inducing a lucid dream
number three the mild technique now mild stands for the mnemonic induction of lucid dreams and
it was invented by dr stephen leberge in his book exploring the world of lucid dreaming
now if you're going to learn mild i highly recommend picking up stephen's book because that
is the purest version of that technique and mild has a unique position in lucid dreaming techniques
because it is one of the few that has scientific evidence and research behind it there have been
many studies showing the effectiveness of mild now mild is a dream initiated lucid dream induction
technique so this is one of the two ways of inducing a lucid dream or entering a lucid dream
either wild or dild these are also terms invented by dr stephen leberge so rather than maintaining
awareness as you fall asleep mild is designed to help you regain awareness inside of a dream and it
does that through memory techniques so like i say if you want to learn this technique the best bet
is to pick up a copy of liberty's book and help support him for his his great work in this field
you can also find a full tutorial here on the channel i'll leave a link below and on my website
thelucidguide.com but one thing to bear in mind with mild is there's a lot of misinformation about
this technique online so be very very careful when you're trying to learn mild because there's
an awful lot of misinformation many people mistake this for a mantra induced lucid dream
which is absolutely incorrect or simply willing yourself to get lucid which again is incorrect
mild is essentially using retrospective memory to recall your previous stream and to rewrite the
script to imagine you got lucid within that dream and then at the same time you're also setting the
intention in your prospective memory to recognize that you're dreaming in the next dream but there's
a lot more to that than that and i recommend that you check out the original in dr laberge's
book and the tutorial here on the channel number two the combined technique and this was invented
by a german researcher called Paul Tholey now the combined technique is one of the most underrated
lucid dreaming techniques out there in fact you hardly ever hear about it but Paul Tholey was
a real trailblazer in this subject in fact the combined technique is being diminished by being
called a technique at all because it's really more of a strategy and a lifestyle adjustment
there's way too much to go into here in this video but i'll leave a link below to the full
description of that technique over on my website but what paul did was essentially the precursor
to many things that lucid dreamers do as lifestyle adjustments these days so reality testing reality
checks are part of the combined technique as is recognizing dream signs essentially what you have
with the combined technique is what most people just assume is normal lucid dreaming behaviour
it's so ingrained in the psyche of lucid dreamers these days that people forget that Paul Tholey
invented this approach to lucid dreaming it is all down to this amazing man Paul Tholey who basically
laid the foundations for lucid dream practice in fact famous lucid dreamers like dr stephen leberge
borrowed a lot of work from Paul Tholey and then published it in their own books but the
combined technique is more than a technique it is a lifestyle adjustment and really deserves
to be known by every lucid dreamer out there number one no technique the technique
without techniques so what on earth am i talking about well the subject of lucid dreaming is more
than just techniques there's this real overly focused mindset among lucid dreamers that there
is a holy grail a perfect technique for lucid dreaming there simply isn't lucid dreaming is
a complicated subject it's essentially exploring the complexities of human psychology there is no
one way to lucid dream no perfect way to lose a dream in the same way that there is no one way
to fall in love or no one way to write a poem there is no perfect formula for poetry for example
lucid dreaming requires a lifestyle adjustment it requires a broad-ranging strategy techniques
are just part of the palette from which a lucid dreamer will paint their journey into lucidity
so if you're out there looking for the perfect lucid dreaming technique give up now there is
no point you will never find it there will be a perfect combination of practices that work for you
but you need to discover those for yourself so you might find that mild works really well for
you and it's combined with keeping a dream journal and reality tests etc but for someone else they
may find that dreamwalker is a far more effective technique also when combined with other practices
there is no one technique that can be called the best technique for lucid dreaming and
those that say there is a single best technique are essentially diminishing this subject so
remember that lucid dreaming is a flexible subject you need to be flexible adaptive observant and
ready to change what technique and what approach you use on any given day in any given night
depending on the variables of the circumstances that present themselves so on one night miles
may work very well if the conditions are right on another night imp might be the perfect practice
there are so many ways that you can induce a lucid dream but you have to be observant
and flexible to do so so the best technique for lucid dreaming isn't a technique at all it is
flexibility it is no technique it is combining all of the knowledge of lucid dreaming into an
overarching strategy and approaching this with a fresh lucid and adaptable mind
