True 😂
@@joelrcj.775you need to practice and put in the work for months, don't rush things , you will get there eventually
A supper thanks just had my first lucid dream last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations. I'm sure it's the first of many more
I had my very first lucid dream a few nights ago and it was awesome! I just could not control my speed
what techniques
@seadragon3058 Do you mind telling what technique you used?
Nice, congratulations!🎉
IMP is my favorite method. You can also imagine pinching your nose. I did that before and it worked. It was the fastest lucid dream I ever had. I instantly got up out of bed and rubbed my hands together. Then I turned on the light and it actually worked for once lol.
That’s cool I’m gonna try you’re way
@@Cole39230 howd it go?
@@TxGamerr8944 ima try it tonight
@@Cole39230it's been 3 months did it work
Thank you very much for this. IMP is my go-to as well, so I appreciate this updated video on it. The part where you mentioned that the type of focus should be similar to the level of focus I have on my legs and feet while walking is very useful! That helps a lot. I’ve definitely been over-focusing on the sensation of the movement previously.
I'll this technique tonight, like the comment so i can see it tommorow morning and remember updating!!
first try: I tried this technique when my slerp interrupted but i couldnt sleep while imagining
i had a dream and someone in my dream told me if you wanna
have a lucid dream you should think about any kind of physical movement and i did that and had my best lucid dreams ever and I'm just shocked to see this video talked about this method exactly like my dream !!maybe that person in my dream was my subconscious!
After a really long time of no lucid dream, I decided to give it a go again. I just want to breath underwater again lol!!
How was it?
@@romasissues 8 months in still going - awesome. Overall it helps me get better attention span and prospective memory. Very trippy though, lol
Best Lucid Dream coaching I've ever heard. Thank you.
Thank you Stephen, I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful!
My tactile imagination scores highly! Wouldn't be the first time I imagine myself doing sit-ups while laying on my side 😅
imp is so perfect for me i am almost sad that i didn't know about it
why? because not only i can remember scents/flavours/movements so vividly that i can feel them almost, i can "remember" things i didn't do/feel based on their principles or overview description (ex. coconut milk, split, getting bellybutton piercing or perfume with cinnamon essential oil).
I don’t know if it is you’re accent or if you just articulate very well but you are really easy to understand
My new favorite method now I’m gonna try and use this tonight
Super-thanks, Daniel! I am very tactile oriented and find this method really enjoyable and helpful, thank you!!
My score was a 2 on this, meaning that IMP will probably not benefit me. When I tried imagining those moments, I knew what they should feel like but I couldn't feel them virtually at all. All I could feel is a slight touch that, if I wasn't trying to force it, I wouldn't feel it. That and the fact that I am quite a hummingbird as of late and imagining the same thing over and over may frustrate me if I'm not falling asleep fast enough. Need to work on my patience as well! Still, I could see how this could be beneficial for a lot of people and wish all the best while trying it!
Thanks for taking time to make a video on your day off. I checked the upload schedule and was surprised to see a video release today! Great video as always and I hope that IMP helps out a lot of people!
I don't know why, but whenever i watch this guy's videos on UA-cam, i always end up dreaming something good or feel like i had a half assed lucid dream which i don't remember.😑
Btw, there was also a time when i had experienced a sleep paralysis.🌝
P.S : I've made it a habit to watch this guy's videos at night, you can call it my lucid dreaming technique, or happy dreaming technique.🗿🗿🗿
I really like your decisive choice of changing the music in your videos, it is novel and a welcome form of expression
I naturally does that technique.... But now i gain more knowledge
Leaving a comment for the algorithm x
I look forward to giving this a go. Many thanks Daniel for this video even though you should be taking some well deserved time off.
How’s it go
hey thanks I just starting trying to lucid dream about a week ago and was doing Mild + wbtb and now I am going to try this technique
did it work
I have been wanting this tutorial for about 4 months, yes you have one more video on this but it's a few years old and wasn't as well explained as this is.
Glad you liked it, there's also more info on IMP in my book "Are You Dreaming?" :)
@@LucidDreamPortal ooh I didn’t realize you had a book!!
Hey! I've been trying to lucid dream but I've been falling asleep before the lucid dreaming technique works. How do I stop falling asleep so quickly like that?
This is an interesting way to think about IMP. I never really thought about the passivity being compared to the level of focus on walking. I've tried it a few times, but I'll have to come back to it sometime. I probably have to wake up a little first as I've pretty much always been in super sloth mode and even with slight physical movements, I was out in a matter of seconds. I'll probably try it when in a hybrid of sloth and hummingbird mode. Also it might work better when I'm on my back. When I tried it months ago, I sadly discovered that my tactile visualization skills are nearly aphantasic as well as visual. I feel like all I can do is the concept of the movement, but it doesn't feel real and I can't quite localize it to where it's supposed to take place, even after actually doing it. The visualization of clenching is very slow motion as well to even get anything that would count at all. It also seems to be even harder yet to visualize when I am in sloth/super sloth mode. But I have a pretty easy time visualizing my arms grabbing and pulling on a rope. That's probably about an 8 or 9 score last I checked, especially when I'm on my side and vertically do it from there.
For now, I've been experimenting with something else for when I am in sloth/super sloth mode and that's shown some interesting results so far. I often catch when I slip into a non-REM dream (I think so anyway based on the symptoms), which I wouldn't be surprised if it is more prone to happening in sloth mode vs hummingbird before REM.
Thank you so much for this clear explanation i will use IMP technique tonight and i will practice even more on it
Watched, noted!
I have lucid dreamed 2 times without even know whaf luci dreaming is but no mater how much effort i put i can't lucid dream
Yes me to
I imagined myself folding up like a pretzel
damn, while i was doing this method my eyes were fluttering, i was doing it perfectly, and my body started feeling numb. Until i forgot to turn off the snooze and completely makes me jump.
Boosting for the algorithm! And thanks so much for the video on your weekend off!
Another amazing video!
I've tried this technique every night for the last few nights & I'm yet to have a lucid dream, which is to be expected. I was wondering if you have any advice on how to focus my mind? It is as if I'm either only focused on the impossible movement or I'm not thinking about it at all.
Not tried this technique for a while, I’ll give it a go tonight, bruh
And?
Had to remind myself. I’ve not become lucid from it but my general practice has been poor recently. Thanks for the reminder though, I get quite a few wakeups in the night so I’ll try to remember to give it a go. 👍
So now its clear for me where the playing piano technique came from thanks
You’ve really inspired me to start seriously trying to lucid dream again. I’ve tried plenty of times before but I’ve always lacked the willpower to keep it up. Eventually I’d slide and stop doing reality checks or get discouraged after long periods of no progress and give up. But now I’m back in the game.
I can’t quite recall what it was, but you spoke about reality checks a little while ago and now I do better reality checks in a manner that I am more likely to be able to consistently remember to pull off.
I suppose the only thing I’m kind of worried about is what happens after. Despite wanting to lucid dream I actually do enjoy my non-lucid dreams and the stories they can tell. The sheer randomness sometimes outdoes any ideas I can consciously think of. If I lucid dream regularly and it I achieve control do all those stories just… disappear?
You can choose not to control your lucid dreams if you don’t want to
I just got sleep paralisis from this, it was kind of fun, it was weird because in my room there is no white board but I imagined a white board in my room and it appeared, so it was kind of lucid but also it felt more like paralisis, it was like a combination of both. it was a morning nap trying this method, and it kind of worked, it took a long time for me to fall asleep but when I did I was kind of lucid becuase I managed to realize I was dreaming, but I was lying down in my dream too and couldn't get up, the test I did to see if I could do this I got a score of 8 so I think that wasn't the problem, the problem was that I slept on my hand and I still could feel that while sleeping
Daniel would you say you are at a level where you can basically lucid dream whenever you want (not talking about a 100% chance of course but you know what I mean)
Yes, I have been for decades now. There are always variables, because the mind and body (and life) are unpredictable, but it's in the 80-90% chance range on most nights. I don't think it's realistic to claim higher, as that would require an understanding of the workings of the body and brain that no human has.
@@LucidDreamPortal oh that's interesting since I had the idea that even experts like you didnt have such a high percentage rate of success
I do have a quick question on WILD and I’m sorry if you’ve already answered this somewhere, but for myself I’ve been training mindfulness meditation focusing on my breathing during daytime meditation. When performing IMP on a wake back to bed, are you still focusing on the breathing or is the IMP the point of focus instead of the breathing. And if so, wouldn’t a better lucid dreaming meditation be an IMP focused meditation?
You're absolutely correct, the focal point is on the imagined movement, and yes, it would be very beneficial to practice this during waking hours. This kind of creative logical problem solving is exactly the right mindset to be in, nice work!
I′ll try it! Thanks.
Did it work
Thank you for this
I have a tendency to think negatively, and i dont want that negative thinking to manifest if i lucid dream. Any tips on how to squash it?
I'd recommend working on meditation and (as cheesy as it sounds) self-love/understanding practices - one has to train the voice in one's head not to work against oneself.
Please help what am I doing wrong every time I try the method I forget about the impossible movement and fall asleep
I think this technique is not for me. I scored a 1, but i am better at visualisation or hearing things🙃. But it was a great video as always ;)
When i'm doing imp, i lose my focus and just fall asleep normally.
What should i do ?
And can i do this when i'm going to sleep, without waking up in the middle of the night
I have tried something similar to this... that I think I heard from you, but I'm not sure...???
I imagined doing the nose pinch test as I was falling back to sleep. A couple times I remember it starting to feel like I was really doing it (and breathing through my nose, of course) but so far I don't think it "stuck"; I woke up when I noticed this, rather than getting into a lucid dream. But I guess I am on the right track?
Ah yes, it sounds like you're talking about Task Triggered Lucidity ( www.thelucidguide.com/techniques/task-triggered-lucidity )
That's something more of a prospective memory practice, where you're aiming to simplify the task to the most simple concept, or in other words, something that is "up stream" of lucidity (as in a nose pinch test leads to lucidity, rather than telling yourself to "become lucid", which is far more nebulous). I think with a bit of tweaking you'll find the sweet spot!
Thank you! I will check out that link. Not sure if I have read that before, but if so, I'm sure I am due for a refresher.@@LucidDreamPortal
I just read it, and yeah, I think I did read that once before. I see what you mean about it utilizing prospective memory in the way you described it, as a practice performed at bedtime to prime the mind to hopefully remember to do that later (during a dream). But if it was done when one is about to enter REM (as in, after a fortunately timed awakening), couldn't it lead to a MAD? I imagine that in such a scenario I might be able to imagine doing it, until it seemed like I was really doing it, and there you go. So, instead of an "impossible movement", it is the impossible feat of breathing through a pinched nose such that the nose pinch reality test is built into the action being imagined. Is there any reason that would be problematic?
So the first technique you talked about I can intentionally wake myself up to do this right?
I feel like i have very good visualisation skills but i struggle with seeing in first person, when i try to imagine moving a body part i see my body making the movements in a thirdperson view.
i don't know how to lucid dream but...
i can control my sleep... like i know that i am sleeping while i am sleeping but i only see is darkness... also time is so fast... its just like closing my eyes for 5 seconds 😹
to do it: i just say "i gonna wake up early in the morning" then try to remember it when i feel like im gonna fall asleep.. but the time u remember it.. its already early in the morning 🤣
BRO SAME THIS MORNING I CAUGHT MYSELF ASLEEP JUST SEEING MOVING BLACKNESS AND WOKE MY SELF UP TO DO WAKE BACK TO BED ASHJKDAKWJDHASDAW
I am a pretty realist person so this might finally work for me
Bedankt
Thank you so much Jim, you're awesome as always!! 🔥
@@LucidDreamPortal i'm going to try imp. hopefully maintained awareness lucid dreams will succeed
@@jimvanhall217 Good luck with it Jim, report back with your results!
@@jimvanhall217 and?
Hey, Long time no see i was busy doing some work anyways i love this technique and i use it whenever i wake up in between a night but the problem is i barely wake up in middle of a night naturally and i cant set an alarm as i sleep with my brother so can drinking alot of water before bed can increase the chances?
That's what I'm doing tonight
Thanks bro
Could quickly alternating between two impossible movements (e.g left and right hand) have a better chance of success?
Interesting thought, it may help to keep the mind more focused and avoid going to far into autopilot. As long as some form of imagined movement is occurring things should be effective. This video is really the bare bones of the approach I use, it's one of those techniques where you can get quite creative, so do experiment!
Super thanks!!!
Any advice?
I have a problem where I get motivated to lucid dream but then it doesn't last but a little while before I lose that motivation, and without motivation it's hard for me to put effort into lucid dreaming. I know I want to keep lucid dreaming but I keep slacking off and I don't know how to keep myself from doing that
Unfortunately, this is a real issue with any subject - the trick is to put in the work even without motivation. It's a little like going to the gym. Healthy people are not those that are always motivated to work out, but those who do it even when they are not. It's the same with lucid dreaming.
@@LucidDreamPortal gotcha that makes sense. I suppose motivation may not last, But discipline will.

Can I use this method every night when Im just normally going to sleep?
SUPER THANK YOU
Sadly I’m sitting at a general 1-2 on that scale, seems I took some points out of it to get that high visualization 😅.
If I can’t imagine the movement super good will this technique still work
I like this technique, sounds really good. I have a question: I find that when I keep a dream journal, my dream recall improves very quickly and drastically, but every time I stop recording my dreams for even a few days, dream recall goes downhill very quickly. Why does that happen? (Or is it just me?) Thanks for the content as always, enjoy the bank holiday weekend!
It's basically because dream journaling is the #1 way to train your brain to recall dreams in the morning. So if you stop journaling, your brain simply falls out of the habit and assumes you aren't trying to remember them anymore or as much.
Nice
Can imp work if I wake myself up with a alarm?
Ima try this i ll update tomorrow
And?
Loved this, Daniel -- thank you! Would you recommend IMP for "sloth" lucid dreamers? I find it that as soon as my head hits the pillow I'm asleep, so LD is proving veeery tricky for me!
Absolutely, you might want to be a little more focused on the imagined movement. Whatever your tendency (hummingbird or sloth) it's good to assess which parts of a technique you need to ramp up or dial down to suit your nature.
@@LucidDreamPortal So, if one tends to be a "hummingbird" this can still work, but they should just focus less on the movement? Do I have that right?
I wanna buy some of ur sessions but don’t have PayPal. Is there another way? I’m also in Canada so idk if it’s possible to just e-transfer u lol
Just in case you didn't know, but you don't need to have a PayPal account to use PayPal, as long as you have a debit card - PayPal can take payment from non-users (just choose the option to pay without creating a PayPal account). If you have any issues just ask the chat support on the site, support can help with alternative options :)
@@LucidDreamPortal okay amazing thank you!!
How long should a morning nap take?
Hello lucid dreaming portal🤟I have this weird condition since I was 5 and it’s basically that im dreaming in black and white. Its a really weird feeling. Is there a cure for my late 30s tv colored dreams?
Hi Combine, that's very unusual but I have encountered others with the same experience (and others with "tunnel vision" dreams). Frankly, it's a bit of a mystery as to why this would occur, as there's zero literature on it and I've yet to come up with any reasonable theory for why it would happen. I know that's not the answer you're looking for, but it's the honest one. Can you think of any reasons why this might be the case? I have seen a slight overlap with this condition and those with very well developed memory skills or PTSD.
is it also possible if you just going to sleep not only for interupping the sleep?
Not really at the start of the night. There is very little dreaming sleep until after 4 hours of sleep. If you don't want to interrupt your sleep, try napping for a little after you wake up naturally in the morning.
