what's up ladies and gents so I'm back today with a new video I'm fresh out of
the shower hence the crazy hair and if you'll notice I've got a lovely new
backdrop for the videos because I thought you know what I'm tired of just
having videos with my shelf in the background I mean it's lovely that you
guys can see all the books I read but I'm pretty sure you don't want to say
that every time so I've got a lovely mandola background which you can see
here which loosely matches one of my tattoos anyway and I'm back today with a
new video and I'm gonna be talking about something which you know it might come
as a bit of a surprise to you guys so obviously I'm a big lucid dreamer I
like controlling my dreams and all of that jazz however in recent months I've
actually started to do a lot more Dreaming where I don't control it and
there's a few reasons for this so you may have noticed obviously I've been
uploading videos a bit less and and that's because to be honest I've run out
of ideas that will help beginners as much as they'll help advance new
streamers and I don't really know like what sort of level you guys are at
obviously I've got quietly subscribers now and you know it's hard for me to
judge what level you guys are at so I don't really I'm trying to work out the
best way of going forward with this and providing the best content I can so I've
been sort of researching reading doing a few other projects as well but more
importantly I've been I've been lucid dreaming less I've actually been doing
it less so and there's actually a reason for that because I feel like you need to
have a balance whether it's in your exercise routine your diet you know your
socializing whatever it is you need to have a balance where you're having like
the right amount of everything so I feel like for me at least it's important to
have lucid dreams and also normal dreams or dreams where you aren't as in control
or not as aware okay and
having these normal dreams will allow you to sort of let go and to sort of be
guided by the dream instead of by what you want to do and the reason for this
is that when you attain a certain level of skill at lucid dreaming when you can
reliably fairly reliably induce a lucid dream where you can control it in your
way of dreaming you tend to get stuck in what I call the sort of
self-gratification loop right where you'll enter a lucid dream and more
often than not your reptilian brain takes over and you start looking for
people to fight or people to have sex with or whatever and you tend to get
caught up in these desires and you don't really progress so you're having a lucid
dreams right but you're not doing anything meaningful with them and you
know I've been stuck in its loop but Freud said it's happened to a few people
I've known they learn how to lucid dream but then they sort of plateau at a
certain stage and every time they have a lucid dream they just do the same things
over and over again they'll always have a flying dream for example well they
always do the same thing and I feel personally that it's good to let go of
that sort of desire and whatever and actually let the dream guide you once in
a while and that's why that's why I've sort of taken a little break for the
last few months few weeks whatever and sort of just had more normal dreams but
I'll get onto it sort of how I've done that and what I've used to have more
normal dreams in a minute but yeah I just wanted to sort of talk to you guys
a bit about this and explain that you don't always need to control the dream
right I know a lot of you are gonna be thinking what the hell is that started
going on about he's got a little dream in China we say you don't control the
dream you don't always need to okay it's important to have a balance of lucid
dreams where you do active work you know you achieve things you whatever well
from your emotional trauma build up your confidence
explore the subconscious mind that sort of thing but then it's also important in
my opinion to have normal dreams where you're letting go okay you're just
giving up control and
there's a there's a beautiful sort of speech by Alan Watts about this called I
think if you just type into YouTube Alan Watts inception or Alan Watts this life
is a dream something like that I'll try and put a link in the description he
explains that you know if you had all the power in the world
referencing lucid dreaming I guess you could say eventually you would want
something that isn't new you'd want a surprise you would want to give up your
control in order to just have an adventure that you don't control you
know and at some point he doesn't to say you'd forget that you would dream it and
as in just let go to the dream and have the dream guide you so that's it ready
you know I just wanted to explain a bit about that and explained that if you
haven't least attempt regularly are you finding it hard that's fine and I have a
solution for that you know have I created a program that you can follow
which forces you to listen within 30 days okay if you do want to do that I'll
put a link in the description but basically just later how Seleucid calm
/boot camp and you can find it there but if you can't if you don't want to do
that and if you don't feel like you can list a dream easily just have a break
you know just have normal dreams but instead work on the other side of the
circle so lucid dreaming on this side and then on the other side you could say
you want to remember more of your dreams you want to have more vivid dreams you
want to just have a more vivid profound adventure and and you know there's
nothing wrong with that when you wake up you're still have the memories of that
adventure and it'll still feel real so what other that's what I'd suggest you
do is if you want to loose a dream check out the boot camp if you can't or don't
then have more vivid dreams and what I've been using recently is a supplement
called Claro dream which is a dream enhancement supplement that makes your
dreams more vivid now I've been promoting this on Instagram for a while
and mentioning and a few blog posts as well I think but you know it's basically
a fairly new dream supplement which allows you to have much more vivid
dreams but the ingredients are so potent okay that that you only recommended to
take it once a week maximum I've been taking it sort of once
twice a week but you know the ingredients are potent it will it does
work which is more than can be said for most dream supplements these days so
yeah go ahead and check that out if you want to get you know a bottle of flowery
dream have a go the link will be in the description or you can check it out here
