What’s up guys, Kevin from KreativeVein back again on the mic and today is a very
special day.
We’re talking about controlling your dreams.
Imagine if you could practically wake up inside of a dream, realize you’re dreaming, and
do anything without any consequences?
What if you could realize you were in a dream and start flying?
Teleport to anywhere in the world?
Fuck 20 hoes at one time.
Haha just playing but you definitely can.
Many famous people in history who have done extraordinary things such as Albert Einstein
and Thomas Edison used lucid dreaming and were able to not only enjoy them, but also
use them for ideas and discoveries.
So today I’ll be going over 4 simple ways to learn how to lucid dream, and 1 of which
you can do tonight and have almost guaranteed success with.
Before we get into that if you haven’t already, be sure to smash that subscribe button like
you’ll be smashing mad bitches in your dreams, and if you have, I appreciate you and hit
me up on Twitter @KreativeVein.
Let’s get into it.
The 1st tip to learning how to lucid dream is starting a dream journal.
Now, this is pretty simple and is not only really fun, because I hate it when I know
I had a bomb ass dream last night and I forgot it, so writing it down before you forget actually
allows me to remember all the random things my brain thinks of when I'm asleep.
I remember so many random things now and it actually serves as inspiration for new ideas.
So the concept is simple, the moment you wake up, write down what you dreamed about that
day.
It can be on a notebook right next to your desk, or go into your notes on your phone
and just type it out.
Over time you can look back too.
Sometimes I forget and I'm just scrolling through old journals and I see some random
ass shit about my dreams of teleporting to the countryside and then riding on top of
a truck through highways that are flooded, to even being at a houseparty and hearing
gunshots so I'm getting the fuck out of there.
It's dope and the reason this will help with lucid dreams is that over time, you will recognize
that dreams make no sense.
You are in one location and then essentially teleport to the next without traveling, people
actually change sometimes in appearance when you get closer to them, etc.
From there, when you are in a dream you can actually recognize this, which will help you
be aware and hopefully become conscious that you are in a dream.
Also, when you have the intent of remembering a dream, it can become more vivid, and that
makes sense to me as well.
The 2nd step to learning how to lucid dream is to do reality checks.
Now this is going to take probably a week or two or for some people even more, but with
the last tip I will tell you something that has been shown to work extremely quickly whenever
you want to deliberately lucid dream.
But with this, this is basically just learning to get into the habit of checking if this
is reality.
To be honest, this could be a dream right now, the only way to know is if you check.
Normally I could my fingers on my right hand.
In dreams I tend to have 4 or 6 fingers and that immediately lets me know I'm in a dream.
I also have heard that another very effective method is using 2 fingers and touching them
against the palm of the other hand.
If your fingers go through your hand, you're in a dream, or you just broke through your
hand and you should go to the hospital haha.
Anyways, the way that this works is that over time, you will start to question if this is
reality as a habit, and then in your dream, since it's a habit, you check and then you're
like oh shit, my right hand went through my left hand, I'm in a dream!
And then you're aware and you can do whatever you want.
This isn't something you can really plan for though, in my case it just happens after you
make it a habit.
An easy way for me was that at the beginning and end of every period at school I would
do a reality check, but now with summer here I just check if this is reality every time
I take a sip of water.
Try to do this at least 10 or more times a day.
The 3rd way to lucid dream is called MILD.
This is known as the Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams.
To do this, you should already have the first 2 steps down, a dream journal and reality
checks.
Now, this is pretty effective for beginners and the next way is the most effective but
I haven't tried either personally.
I just do the dream journals and reality checks as a habit and every week or so I just randomly
have a lucid dream and it's pretty cool.
But with more sleep time this summer I will most likely be trying these out and updating
you guys.
To do this, when you are laying down in bed, you are repeating to yourself in your head
affirmations like "I will have a lucid dream tonight" or "the next time I'm dreaming, I
will remember I'm dreaming."
When you do this, you are essentially programming your mind to remember to lucid dream because
you keep thinking about it, and dreaming is just thinking.
Do this until you feel like you are about to fall asleep.
When you are at this point, the last step is to visualize your dream.
Think about a dream from before and visualize it clearly.
At this point, say "I am dreaming" even though you're still daydreaming but regardless, continue
to explore the dream world, do what you would if this were a lucid dream.
Now, at this point you will probably fall asleep, and that's fine, but you have definitely
increased your chances of having a lucid dream as your last thought was about lucidity and
being conscious in your dream.
And sometimes, people have noted that they fall right into a lucid dream, because the
world they created was so vivid, as they fell asleep they went right into consciousness
into a dream.
That's known as WILD, and that's the last way to get a lucid dream that I'll talk about
here today.
The 4th and final way to lucid dream is to use WILD, or Wake Induced Lucid Dreams.
Now this is the hardest, but also almost guaranteed if you can do it.
The question is can you lie on your back and not think.
This is why meditation not only helps in life, but also in dreams, but that's off topic.
And, it is easier for people to "wake up and go back to bed" and do this method because
you are already tired and this will be easier.
However, I don't recommend that as you don't want to fuck up your sleep cycle just to dream
a little.
Reality comes first.
But, if you really want to, set an alarm clock for 4 or 6 hours later, go to sleep without
doing anything, maybe try MILD, and when you wake up 4 or 6 hours later, try WILD.
Step 1: Sleep in the corpse position (basically lie on your back).
Step 2: Breathe deeply 10 times and be completely relaxed, you must be completely relaxed for
this to work.
Step 3: Observe your hypnagogia.
This is the transition between being awake and sleeping.
Enjoy this, this is where you'll probably see random patterns flowing between your eyes.
During this time, repeat "I'm dreaming" over and over.
Step 4: Visualize your dream, use the images that you see and create a scene that you would
like to be in in a lucid dream.
This is a pretty tough place to get to, which is why it is pretty much guaranteed if you
can get here, but it is difficult so don't feel too pressured.
But, at this point, your dream will be so vivid but at the same time your body is going
to sleep, so as it does, even though you are asleep, you pop into the dream world you imagined.
Now, to reiterate I haven't done MILD or WILD, but I have done a bunch of crazy shit and
it is amazing to have a lucid dream.
Don't use it to run away from problems, but use it as a tool.
If I'm going to sleep for 33% of my life, I might as well use it for imagination and
enjoy it.
People even use it to face fears, because they can conjure up anything, even death,
and know that it won't hurt them because it really is all in their head.
But that's all I've got for you today, if you found this interesting let me know, and
thanks so much for sticking to the end, you're the best.
Also, let me know what videos you want to see, it's Kevin from KreativeVein, peace.
