The story goes that the guitarist wrote this song to his child who was having (or simply had) a nightmare. This was to tell them what dreams are, and to help calm them and maybe give them the power to control the dream, which is also known as lucid dreaming. Very pretty song that's deceptively challenging to sing-- there's a HUGE range from start to finish. The opening is so low in the baritone, and by the end you're way up in the top of the scale. Great reaction! I liked where you were with the guardian angels angle (lol, that was unintentional). Like maybe your dreams are sometimes curated by your guardian angels or souls that passed before you. I like how your mind works.
Having reacted to two ealrier songs where his higher register is featured, this one showcases his lower register magnificently, demonstrationg his amazing octave range.
All the things about this song bring me into the 90's with my old friends that i didn't see anymore.. But memories will live trought this song for each of us 🤟
Lucid dreaming happens when you’re aware that you’re dreaming. You’re able to recognize your thoughts and emotions as the dream happens. Sometimes, you can control the lucid dream. You may be able to change the people, environment, or storyline. This type of dream of control could potentially reduce nightmares and anxiety. When lucid dreaming occurs When you sleep, your brain cycles through rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep. Non-REM sleep includes three separate stages. During non-REM, your brain waves, heartbeat, and eye movements gradually slow down. In REM sleep, your brain is extremely active. Your heart rate and eye movements also increase. Lucid dreaming, like most dreams, usually happens during REM sleep. In a lucid dream, you know that you’re dreaming. You’re aware of your awareness during the dream state.
It is amazing once you learn to control your dreams.

My late mother loved this song. They performed this song at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards with a full orchestra and blew everyone away. Arsenio Hall had a tough time pronouncing “Lucidity”, too. 😉
Waking in a dream and realizing not only that it's a dream, it's your dream. It's a wondrous feeling that you're able to harness your dreams and steer them as many ways as there are in which you care to manifest them and soul shall be to your likeness, unlike any other before evermore as evermore to each an ode to no difference found within a universal paradox throughout facets of realities, the nature of dreams
Here's what you don't know (you would not only have to have been an adult in the 80s but also an adult in therapy to really get what was going on in the song): During the 80s, a therapist wrote a book about lucid dreaming that became a best seller - particularly among the psychology folks. All of a sudden, lucid dreaming became a thing, particularly in therapy. Seemed like every counselor you went to in the 80s and early 90s was absolutely determined to teach you lucid dreaming. Personally I got really annoyed by it but I heard others say positive things. Anyway, the lead guitarist of this group was a fan of the book and wrote this song for a child he would have in the future. Loved Queensryche and truly thought that their concert was one of the best I saw in 35 years of going to concerts. Geoff Tate's voice was truly something to behold.
As a lucid dreamer, understanding it from the outside can be daunting even unbelievable when discussed. Dream control is achieved biologically. It's a gift that you are born with. I have been lucid dreaming since my teens & still do every now & then, but not as much. Some say it stems from an overactive pineal gland or the active "third eye" as it is called. Some say they can achieve it through meditation & intense work spiritually. It is a phenomenon. Flying through the air (literally like Superman) & feeling the wind or climbing walls (literally like Spiderman) sounds comical but it also the remembrance of those experiences that resonates. Making a decision to walk through a wall & feeling the pressure as your body is pushing through it is something etched into your psyche. Impactful to say the least.
This was a band that was a favorite back in the days when Hair Bands ruled the airwaves. Queen Of The Ryche and Rage For Order delivered for my teen angst and head banging car rides and gym sessions. 1984-1990ish they were big.
I'm so glad that the lyrics were turned on!!! Especially when this part of the song was played!! Most people miss it "I can't do this Visualize your dream, record it in the present tense Put it into a permanent form If you persist in your efforts, you can achieve dream control How's that then, better? Dream control, dream control Help me"
I like your take on this, never saw in a spiritual sense cuz I was focused on the Lucid dreaming aspect. I met the singer Geoff Tate about 8 months ago, SUPER NICE guy and next time I'll ask him his intent
@@carminebokesch1279 Yeah, Geoff was really nice the times I met him too ☺️ but he wasn't the one who wrote the lyrics for this particular song. Chris DeGarmo wrote both the music and lyrics on this one. But, I'm sure Geoff and Chris talked about it. Everything I've heard about the song's meaning was pretty much what the lyrics describe: A parent comforting a child after they had had a very realistic dream in which one of his parents had died. It was explaining that you can really have fun with dreams if you practice becoming aware that you're dreaming, and steer your dream wherever you want it to go. That dreams are nothing the child needs to fear, and that the patent will help him learn how to lucid dream, and always be there watching over the child. However, more spiritual aspects could certainly apply. And the beauty of well-written lyrics is that the listener can interpret them in a variety of ways. Very cool! I LOVE original lineup Queensryche!!! The best, most talented five guys EVER! (Sorry, I always go on too much!)
I love seeing people’s interpretations of this song. To me it was just about controlling your dreams. But I’ve heard people on here feel it’s about losing a loved one, or having ambitions (dreams) and following through on them and not giving up. I’ve seen people tear up in these reactions, and I’ve seen people with the biggest smiles on their faces. That’s when art really succeeds.
Queensryche was one of the most prolific bands of that era. Their masterpiece was their concept album Operation Mindcrime. It included politics, religion, social upheaval, murder, heartbreak and betrayal. Every song is part of the story. This album is underrated, little known and pure genius.
My older brothers liked the Operation Mindcrime album but I didn’t and still don’t. What hooked me is their following album Empire which is what happened to a lot of people. They didn’t sell out, it’s the same with many bands. My older brothers liked And Justice For All and I liked the Black album, they liked Pyromania and I liked Hysteria. Geoff Tate has one of the best singing voices period and Queensryche is a great band.
Well I wish and blessings but I hate Queensryche enough now maybe I'll listen I remember when first starting out playing the stone in San Francisco and they were not good also I don't see the frizzy hair short guy I don't know maybe it's new people😂😂😂
You've don't nothing but trash a great band. You don't have to watch the videos if you don't like them, or better yet help support the channel yourself and donate a song that you like.
One of my all time favorite songs. The lyrics, the vocals, the music 🔥🔥🔥
I love where you were going with this- it’s actually a really simple meaning. It’s about lucid dreaming

Queensrÿche "Bridge" hit home to me when released 30 years ago.
Same. Love that song!
Having reacted to two ealrier songs where his higher register is featured, this one showcases his lower register magnificently, demonstrationg his amazing octave range.
Yes! He’s got great range. I have always loved this band…they are tight…accurate…and incredibly unique in their sound.
Awesome song. Can't get enough of it.
I always considered this song their "Comfortably Numb."
I have always thought I would leave this song to my grandchildren when I’m gone❤️
This song is one of my all time favorites and it never gets old
All the things about this song bring me into the 90's with my old friends that i didn't see anymore.. But memories will live trought this song for each of us 🤟

It's a wondrous feeling
that you're able to harness your dreams and steer them as many ways as there are in which you care to manifest them
and soul shall be to your likeness, unlike any other before evermore
as evermore to each an ode to no difference
found within a universal paradox
throughout facets of realities, the nature of dreams
"The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe". Man I haven't heard that for 50 years.
My favorite song by them
When I feel like a cry, I sometimes go here 😢
Seattle Center 1992. Best live performance I've ever seen!
I love queensryche... great choice, man

Jet City Woman is my favorite Queensryche track, but it seems no one ever reacts to it. It's such a great song so please check it out!
Keep the Queensryche going, Bruh!
Lucidity means a dream like state
You get it

It's a kind of lullaby
It is a song for parents really
My older brothers liked the Operation Mindcrime album but I didn’t and still don’t. What hooked me is their following album Empire which is what happened to a lot of people. They didn’t sell out, it’s the same with many bands. My older brothers liked And Justice For All and I liked the Black album, they liked Pyromania and I liked Hysteria. Geoff Tate has one of the best singing voices period and Queensryche is a great band.
It’s about illicit dreaming
❤😊❤❤❤YES. BECAUSE WE ARE ALL GOD’S CHILDREN❤😊❤❤❤
Well I wish and blessings but I hate Queensryche enough now maybe I'll listen I remember when first starting out playing the stone in San Francisco and they were not good also I don't see the frizzy hair short guy I don't know maybe it's new people😂😂😂
New people? This cut was from 1990…34 years ago!
You've don't nothing but trash a great band. You don't have to watch the videos if you don't like them, or better yet help support the channel yourself and donate a song that you like.
@@blitz3643 I agree…trashing them and also spewing a non stop stream of unintelligible words…
It's a kind of lullaby
