But seriously, when we’re young, we feel like we always will be (or at least that’s how it felt to me) because it’s all we’ve ever known, even though we intellectually know that we will age past our present “youthfulness”. 50 seemed like a really far off age… the distant future. Then I hit it and can’t even pretend to be slightly youngish anymore (despite looking younger than my age, which made it easy to be in denial for a while). But despite hopefully being a bit wiser than I once was, due simply to learning from mistakes, I pretty much still feel like the same person I was at 25 or 30, until I look in a mirror or notice minor aches and pains and such that didn’t use to be a thing for me. My point is, we’re all not that different, despite age. You’ll see. Did that sound pretentious? Yeah, probably.
Mate I know exactly what you mean. I don't go lucid much, and the last time I did was a couple of months ago. I saw my Mum through frosted glass in a door. I knew it was her even though I couldn't make out her face. I knew I had lost her. And I knew she had come to see me. I opened the door and there she stood, looking up at me with love in her eyes. And I thought, ok if this is the only way I can do this, then let's do it. As she stepped towards me, I wrapped my arms around her and I felt hers stretch around my back, in a hug every bit as real as any she had given me before she had to go. I could feel her face next to mine and I softly said "I miss you so much, Mum." I savoured every second because I didn't want to let her go, but I knew I had to wake up and I knew she needed to get back home. She left and I woke up with a feeling of comfort that I can't really explain. My heart broke on the day I lost her, but I will live in hope of moments like this in my dreams.
I do the same when my son comes to me in my dreams. I lost him almost three years ago. He was 20. The hugs feel so real. When I wake up I’m sad and happy at the same time.
New sub. I've been a Lucid dreamer for 54 years. Huge sci-fi, comic book fan, with a scientific and spiritual background. My personal dream-dimension abilities are consistent in every dream, particularly the ability to levitate/fly at will.
New here. I’ve done most of my travelling on ayahuasca and heavy dose solo mushrooms. I honestly am the world’s worst sceptic and didn’t believe in their power until I experienced it. So lucid dreaming is not something I fully believe in because it (May not) hasn’t happened to me. Could you help me understand it better (like I’m a 5 year old) 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@JAZZYLGPRODUCTIONSLLC I don't necessarily lucid dream, but I do have the ability to levitate and fly in some of my dreams.. The strange thing is, is that at some point I realize that I shouldn't be able to do that and then I lose the ability. I will be running and jumping. Trying to get airborne again and I can't.. and then I will tell myself I'm trying too hard and I will be able to levitate and fly just a little bit but won't be able to stay airborne successfully. Very frustrating.
@@drunvert for me it’s just been years of practice and concentration. It’s as automatic as breathing, however sometimes it’s difficult getting higher altitudes. I have flown as high as the upper atmosphere. I can also fly in vehicles as well as fly with people and lift heavy objects.
@@mattsullivan8286 years of simulation flights in games, movies, and just having an open minded imagination. I started when I was 4, now it’s as natural as breathing.
Same here, started lucid dreaming around 5 after I told my dad that I kept having bad dreams of falling from very high places. He told me one day, "just let it happen. When you start to fall, don't be scared and just see what happens." After that, my dreams were never the same and I thought everyone could lucid dream (even though I didn't know the term at the time). Now my issue is my sleep is not restful at all lately. I'm so aware of everything. I'm aware that my dreams are just dreams, I'm aware that I'm asleep, I'm aware that environmental noises are being incorporated into my dreams while I sleep and can accurately reason what is causing them while I am sleeping. I'm even aware of the time of night without looking at the clock or having it close by. I am exhausted and have no idea what has caused this shift.
That's crazy. I've had little bits of all of that, but not consistently in any way. As for the falling... In some of my dreams when I was younger I would be flying, sometimes it would be in a jet plane or something but often it became just me in the air with nothing around me, and I would be very high.. I'm a few thousand feet in the air. And then for some reason I realized that I can't fly and I start to fall. And I fall at a normal precipitous rate and watch the ground come rushing up at me. But one time when I was younger I just did a tuck and roll. And stood up. And from that point on, even though I'm scared at first when I start falling I realize part way down that you're just going to tuck and roll and everything will be fine.
I’m 40 years old and have been lucid dreaming since I was 6. I’ve had thousands of lucid dreams. The dreams are centered around flying, making people appear in front of me who I desire to communicate with, and also fulfillment of sexual pleasure. I wish I could go beyond those 3 things though, into something more meaningful. I also have the ability to smell, read, look at myself in the mirror and other things that the internet says people can’t do in their dreams. Anyway, thank you for your content, you just gained another sub.
My best friend of 15+ years, was a twin, and they were premature 6 weeks as well. My buddy could lucid dream and would always tell me tons of things he could do while lucid dreaming. He was very spiritual 🙏 he passed away around last Christmas (2023) rip homie!
i'm the same here. i love youtube videos of longer content like thirty minutes or more and Twenty minutes like this video is a good enough lenght to start. since i got a membership and early acces of the videos i watched every video when they came out. the reason i do this is for support but also because i find it motivating to watch videos about Lucid Dreaming so that i still get interest in the subject
I tried lucid dreaming years ago. I read books. I did exercises, and I got Lucid a few times, just brief periods, and often I found that when I realised I was inside a dream world I got so excited I would wake up. It’s a shock to realise that you are not in the world you know but a very different one indeed.
I watched it, and I must say that I was quite intrigued by the young dreamling woman, as well as by how you dealt with your nightmares. Particularly shocking was the nosebleed on the walls, I hope your parents did recover from the scene
Really enjoyed listening to this. I’m a similar age so the historical context you provided was fantastic. Unfortunately I don’t share your extensive experience with lucid dreaming, but i have had 6 or 7 very pleasant lucid dream experiences in my life. Mostly occurring when I try to cram sleep, when I’ve stayed up late, my brain is buzzing, and know I need to get up in about 2 hours….
Daniel Love: The Biography. This makes me even more excited to break through the barrier of low level lucidity and almost lucid dreams. I am determined to master this skill and take it even further.
I'm thankful that lucid dreaming isn't just a playground but also a place of self-reflection. Otherwise, all lucid dreamers would be a lot more likely to go off the far end because there would be no reasoning to our lives.
Even though you can make lucid dreams as clear as being awake they don’t really have big impact on you otherwise and you forget them fairly fast. So it would not be a problem Only negative is horrible sleep quality
my LD experiences and experiments have been mostly concerned with self-reflection honestly - I don't seem to play as much as I hear from other practitioners
It has been a long journey, and I am happy to have been a part of this. Even a fraction of a millionth of this. Thank you for your time, effort, patience, and enthusiasm. I really enjoyed listening to your adventures. Thank you for sharing this story.
As someone who is in their 20s, imagining 40+ years of dedication on anything is hard to imagine. I tend to notice that my passions change every so often, going from one to another before some fall into this cycle where they pop back up before disappearing for months/years before they show up again, so seeing a topic of study stick with someone is very admirable. I appreciate that you broke this video into decades as it really helps convey the journey a bit more. I'm still within that first five years where I'm still having to learn the ropes, but I'm also in that time in my life where a lot does change. The pacing of the video really helps in confirming that my struggles with lucid dreaming are to be expected and to not be hard on myself for those struggles. I'm keeping this comment a bit on the shorter side, but this was a very informative and inspiring video! I trust and look to you for advice and knowledge on lucid dreaming due to your experiences and helping me learn how to lucid dream. Great video and can't wait to see the new direction the channel! P.S. - second time leaving a comment, hoping it goes through!
All of mine which started after dying in a helicopter crash, coming out of my body feeling amazing and then into the amazing black void. Since then, ill catch myself mid dream and start to float up into the sky, wind noises, then like a rocket ship blast off into another dimension. I have also seen my energy body recently which is a golden crazy looking energy and my head had these repeating bad ass patterns in it. Then I woke up. The fun continues.
ive been lucid dreaming sporadically for several years, i'm a avid zazen practitioner and i feel this played a huge role in me having these experiences. about a year ago i started remembering the experience of realizing that im dreaming while in the dream and learning my "triggers" to realizing that im in a dream, this has helped in being able to lucid dream more often but it's still pretty random when it happens. just bought your book on amazon, from this video it looks like it would be helpful in exploring this deeper.
I used to get taken out of my room in Upstate New York when I was like 6 or 7 years old. I would be way up in the sky, and it was super quiet. These invisible voices would tell me stuff that I remember only vaguely today. Mostly that "I was different and I wasn't going to fit in here" (and I don't 🤦♂️). Fast forward to about my mid 20's. I'm in the Bahamas and I'm going parasailing. I get up in the air. BAM! To my surprise I suddenly noticed how silent it was up there. "Just like when I was a kid", I think to myself. But years later it dawned on me.. how could I have known it was silent way up in the sky before I experienced that in my 20's if what I had experienced as a kid was only a dream?
Wonderful video! It's really interesting to hear from your personal perspective how lucid dreaming and what it means to be a lucid dreamer evolved over time.
My mother had one of those masks! I remember it but I could not find any information on it until now. It was driving me crazy. I am so excited to find out that it was a Stephen Laberge mask. Thank you!
Love this video. Been a bit distant from lucid dreaming for the last few weeks because of an extremely busy schedule, but this is extremely motivating to get back in the swing of things. Had my first lucid dream in a few weeks this morning as well, so that's cool. Keep up the good work, Daniel.
wow, no big thanks for this success story either. I also have sleep terror, I once had a situation where I was crushed by a forklift truck and I was screaming loudly or I ran for water to drink because I thought I would die otherwise. meditation before sleeping What you have said is very interesting, I respond late to videos, but I am still getting the hang of everything and learning and am still working on lucid dreaming. I still find it very difficult to maintain awareness and observation in daily life I hope I can become as good as you at lucid dreaming. very inspiring 
Thank you so much Jim! - Night terrors really do live up to their name don't they! I'm glad you found the video inspiring, I hope this gives you (and others) a perspective on the timescales for this subject, and how that patience and perseverance are worth it!
I hate how to algorithm is always against you. I know there was another channel trying to sabotage you too. I just want you to know that everything you share is super valuable and we’re very grateful that you choose to teach others. I wish you could go on Joe Rogan so you can get the recognition you deserve and people can see how knowledgeable and how you are no bs with everything you teach. Appreciate you bro!
I had also picked up a Nova Dreamer back around 1996-1997. Never really got much of anywhere with it, which seems to match your experience, though i probably didn't try as hard/long as I could have with it. I might even still have it shoved in a box somewhere, no doubt with the foam all degraded and such.
Daniel sua historia é incrivel e muito inspiradora, eu comecei com sonhos lucidos por uma forma muito interessante, em meus 17 anos no ultimo ano de escola eu lia bastante a biblia e lá encontrei versiculos sobre sonhos e a interpretação deles, acabei me fascinando no assunto mas nao fui atras, até que encontrei um jogo chamado Yume Nikki e comecei a tentar interpretar os sonhos do jogo de uma maneira mais psicologica, criando teorias e etc igual muita gente faz... Até que realmente fui atras do assunto, comecei vendo videos em portugues e ao passar do tempo passei a ver em outros idiomas (como o seu), passei a ler livros (o seu tambem) e comecei a ter sonhos lucidos com meus 17 anos, fazia meu diario dos sonhos no meio da aula ja que nao sabia que precisava fazer quando acordar, fui testando tecnicas de realidade como um maluco na sala de aula contando os proprios dedos. Porem diferente de voce Daniel, acabei me reservando nesse assunto, tentei ensinar e inclusive até consegui fazer as pessoas darem mais valor aos seus sonhos, mas não divulgo tanto assim isso por achar que nao tenho o conhecimento necessario para ensinar algo. Meus 18 anos acabei perdendo a habilidade de sonhos lucidos (talvez por nao conversar com quase ninguem sobre e por ir perdendo o interesse) e focando mais no mundo fisico, anotando raramente meus sonhos em meu diario, nos meus 19 (atualmente) estou servindo ao exercito e isso está dificultando e muito o tempo para sonhos lucidos, mas eu agradeço a isso, porque assim como voce Daniel quero aprender a ensinar, e para isso eu tambem preciso aprender, preciso aprender a ter sonhos lucidos novamente assim como eu tinha em meus 17 anos com sonhos lucidos a cada 3 dias, só conseguia isso por causa daquele entusiasmo e emoção de algo novo, mas agora, ja acostumado com o assunto, não uso nenhuma emoção passageira para ter sonhos lucidos, mas sim estou conquistando eles com muito esforço de pratica, tentativa e erros. Por isso agradeço ao senhor Daniel, por me ensinar, pois é graças ao senhor que todo o meu sacrificio nesses 3 anos não vai ser em vão, nesse video o senhor me mostrou isso, que a jornada é longa mas o final é lindo.
i just want to say, i just started rereading your book "Are You Dreaming" again and i'm at chapter 4 already and it amazes me how interesting this book still is. reading about the History of the Lucid Dreamers was also fun to reread again. i think when i finished the book for the second time i gonna flip through the book when i think its time to try Lucidity Techniques such like WILD and MILD Etc. and maybe its time after finishing your book again, that i going to make my own Peg System. anyway, stay lucid and keep up the good works!
Dear Daniel Love, thank you very much for sharing this authentic view of your life. I must be of the same generation and find interesting similarities. However it is only the second UA-cam video I have seen from you, but I will certainly learn more about you and Lucid Dreaming.
I didn't believe in lucid dream until I started to get interest in lucid dream, so I would watch videos about the subject, and one night I add my first lucid dream at 46 years old about one year ago. It was incredible and very vivid. i never panic, and I knew straight away it was a lucid dream. After that I add a few more, but now I find it hard to have another lucid dream. I've a few dreams I know I'm dreaming but it's not lucid, so I don't count as a lucid dream. I think for people that never add a lucid dream like me in past the easy way you can have more of a chance of having one is to learn about lucid dream and watch videos because the more interesting you are the more of a chance you have to have a lucid dream.
While not related to lucid dreaming, if you are interested in different views of the self and what makes you YOU, I recommend looking into the horror game SOMA. If you can get past the scary parts of it, the existential ideas it puts out there are really thought provoking
I can conjure up the sleep picture in my head. When I can’t sleep I know the “film” like visions that come just before I drift off to sleep and it’s always the same. Over the years I’ve been able to go deeper into the colors and dynamics of the vision and still be aware of them. I need to paint it 😃thank you.
Great story. But you missed an important part… how did your personal relationships play into your lucid dreaming pursuits? I’m talking primary ones… like having a girlfriend? I find that it creates extra challenges especially if she isn’t into lucid dreaming but can also bring its own rewards if you can somehow share your experience with them. I would love to hear your take on this. Hopefully you’ve not been so dedicated to your lucid dream life that you’ve skipped this part of the human experience.
That could be a topic for a future video. But it's a tricky topic as one has to be mindful and respectful of the privacy of others (and my own). But perhaps a more broad strokes video would be worth doing, as you're right - interpersonal relationships and changes in living conditions and lifestyle can have quite an impact on practice. But yes, I do also have a life outside of lucid dreaming 🤣
I believe that lucid dreams are capable of being recalled as real events and they are held in memory as such, so I carry around memories of certain lucid dreams and from time-to-time I reflect on them. Probably the most mind-boggling at the time wasn't when I figured out how to jump over buildings or fly. I was about 8 years old and I was dreaming that I was standing in our front garden with my little friend who lived across the street. I suddenly realised it was a dream and exclaimed to my friend that "Hey, this is a dream". We then started to argue, as kids do. If in waking life I said to him "Hey, we're in a simulation" he would probably answer the same way he did during the dream - "No, we're not". I tried my best to convince him but he wasn't having any of it. My mind could have surely allowed him to say something like "Oh yeah, we are" but it stubbornly did not let that happen.
I had a lucid dream last night for the first time in 13 years. I fell asleep listening to a podcast and I could still hear the podcast when I was dreaming. So I decided to fly into space cause I couldnt think of anything else to do. I blasted through the roof like superman and flew past pastel planets listening to a funny podcast. Was pretty cool. The first time I lucid dreamed I was 8 and sat on a bench with other kids listening to a guide at nasa, around us was just white, in front was a extremely tall window with a green field outside. Asked a girl sitting next to me to pinch me, she shushed me. I started to panic and strained myself to wake up. Woke up drenched in sweat. That happened after I'd been to nasa camp. Was also pretty cool. 12 years later I learned what it was and started practicing to make it happen again.
Thank you for sharing, I do believe that you are a natural lucid dreamer and also I do have the same believe to understand lucid dreaming in order to overcome nightmares sometimes thinking in a different perspective will help to overcome nightmares.
Hi Daniel, I just watched a couple of your videos for the first time. I first became aware of the use of dreams to develop awareness and exploring consciousness through the books written by Carlos Castaneda. Are you familiar with them? I started reading his third book,Journey To Ixtlan,in 1973. He went on to write eight more books chronicling his apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian shaman. Extremely fascinating and informative. His book,The Art of Dreaming,was released in December of 1993. His books dealt with the development of awareness,attention,and intent. The lineage that he was a part of discovered that there are a sequence of experiences that one can pass through that can lead to the ultimate state of being that they termed,Total Awareness,Total Consciousness,and total Freedom. One of their goals was to forge a dreaming body,an exact replica of the physical body,except for the eyes. The end result was that they could be in the world functioning in two separate bodies at the same time. What are the differences between lucid dreaming and out of body experiences,in your opinion?
I've only done that couple of times and its awesome. People were actually out to get me. Another time me and four other people pushed a zombie over a railing. I love lucid dreaming. Even if I can't explain it.
First of all, thank you for sharing this. Its important because it adds perspective. This video made me take it easy with my actual struggles now (do not know why, but been struggling with concentration while N.O.W. and rc....and i am activly detoxing from midia stimulous....imagine if i wasnt. My personality wishes that this could be a straightforward process, but 2 months ago i was nailing it in N.O.W. and now....i lack the seriousness of the question "am i dreaming" like i had 2 months earlier....do not know what happened....need time to think and overthink what am i doing wrong. Fuck**g frustrating.
Last night a friend described lucid dreaming as knowing that you're dreaming and able to control elements of it. My reply? "Aren't all dreams like that?" I haven't had a dream that wasn't lucid. I can fly, alter the environment, and have full conversations. 'Thought everyone could do that. Live and learn I guess!
Hello, nice video:) After more than one month of a lucid dream training break (motivation was just gone with over 4 and a half year of lucid dream training and no real success) I am starting out new. I started to use a countdown clock to make sure, that I make the RC at least one minute. Can you tell, when the book with the ART will be available on I-pad ?
Er. So. I was born in the UK in 1984, same. Six months premature. As a little kid I had terrible nightmares, often where I was tortured by demons. And the realisation that if I could remember I was dreaming I would escape the nightmare. Reoccurring dream character, a female in her 20s, I've thought of her as my anima. She didn't teach me to fly but throughout my life I'll see her again. Not a mother for me, a sister. Other reoccurring characters: the shadow. It would impersonate other people and then when I was alone with them it would attack me, and so I had to learn to see it in the eyes of people in my dreams so I could avoid it. The next intense period of dreams was in my early 20s.
Serious question: why would astral projection a misinterpretation of lucid dreaming? Why can’t lucid dreaming be a misinterpretation of astral projection? Is it only because a scholar is more likely to write about lucid dreaming than astral projection?
This was great!!! Very informative and interesting. Are there any big studies done on flying in dreams? I can fly in pretty much every dream, lucid or not and i have gone from being able to jump high, then i had to flap my arms to get up and now i just fly at will with no flapping or jumping. I have also attempted to show people in my dreams how to fly.
It's sort of weird that he doesn't ever really describe what lucid dreaming is actually like him. But his book was super helpful for me and I appreciate his content.
That wasn't the purpose of this video, it's an overview of my journey as a lucid dreamer (and the general theme of dreams in each decade), If you're looking specifically for a detailed dream reports, here's one.... ua-cam.com/video/U_wDHYU2dFQ/v-deo.html
I love and prefer this form of content but have not yet had the chance to see, as I'm in one of the busiest weeks of my life. That said, I just wanted to say if that's your baby picture, that's an epic picture. Look like a future ruler of the world. I'm really looking forward to this one Thank you as always Daniel for great content
So interesting. Have you done a video explaining what it is how exactly it works and how someone could pick it up? Maybe it’s in your book but would love to know. Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Great to have you hear Matt! The book is definitely the most comprehensive and structured place to start (the channel is essentially an expansion on the ideas laid out in it).. however, if you're looking for a video course, there's the 19 day course here on the channel, it does require membership (one month is about the price of a coffee), but the first three videos are free so you can see if it's for you. Other than that, there are hundreds of free videos on the channel, which should give you a good overview, it's just a little less structured. Hope that helps!
I like the idea that you fought off so many dream monsters that your mind just ran out of them😂 Very inspiring and fun video btw, i really liked it! (if only youtube would promote it more..)
the longest video on the channel? we havent forgotten about those 8 hour ones 😉 on another note, the recurring mother-like dreamling is fascinating and i wonder if that character resembles anyone in your life, and if not im surprised you dont believe in god (i think?) because most people that have gone through what you have would probably see her as a divine figure. also interesting is your 6 month visit to india! my family is from nepal so theres a lot of cultural similarities. im curious what you learned there, maybe will book a lesson just to hear it at some point
Lucid dreaming is a dream in which you know you are dreaming. Astral projection is a dream (or hallucination) where a person makes the assumption they have left their body. Both can have varied levels of realism, and often feel as real as waking life. The former is founded on established scientific knowledge, the latter assumption is in contradiction to scientific knowledge and generally considered a matter of personal belief.
Do you think that the recurring female in your early lucid dreams originated from 'outside' you - i.e. not originating from YOUR mind? You said she taught you things you didnt already know.
I like to remain open-minded to such ideas, but also try to stay grounded with more probable scientific answers too. But who knows! And I didn't mention in the video, but she's still a regular visitor to my dream world.
@@DanielLoveOrg That is fascinating. Have you ever questioned her regarding her origin? Edit: Sorry, I don't mean to be intrusive. I'm interested as to whether these recurring characters originate from the personal 'mind' or some kind of 'larger reality' that exists outside the filters of the aforementioned personal mind.
Question. I sometimes get this sinking feeling after laying down on my back for 2 or 3 hours. I would remain completely still and relax myself during the 2-3hours. It feels like I'm transporting or going somewhere. Is this astral projection or astral travel? Often times my arms or hands would quickly move or twitch on it's own before it happens.
Sometimes I hope when we pass away it'll be like waking up from a dream.... Well, in my case a nightmare. The past year I've been waking up from dreams not knowing where I'm at.... nothing in my house looks familiar. After a few seconds I'll finally figure out where I'm at
Interesting. I have a question; in all your experiences, have you ever had the chance to encounter the "inorganic beings" mentioned in the book The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda?
If you want to jump in seriously and with steucture, give the 19 day course on this channel a try, or my book (links on channel page). Otherwise work through the content on the channel and you'll get there.
Uff, I would like to lucid dream so much, but my dreams are always recurring and have a pretty solid scenario every night with only the characters changing sometimes. I wonder if regained awareness would still work in such a case
Its brilliant fun when u get to suss out flying n things! OBE's are better! du du du du Here comes bod du du du thats my tune to go lucid or OBE ing. You got to treat it as fun which it is...
I recently started using 20mg nicotine patches to help me quit smoking and found that I started having very vivid dreams, I hadn't had memorably dreams since I was a child so it was quite exciting. In one of the dreams I realised I was dreaming and became lucid. I won't share what I did lol.
Nicotine has a molecular structure very similar to a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which is involved in memory, mental clarity and many of the functions required for lucidity. So your experience of more memorable and lucid dreams is to be expected in circumstances where your brain is receiving nicotine during REM. However, it's important to remember that prolonged used can potentially desensitize these receptors and make lucidity and dream recall harder. Still, well done for giving up smoking, it's a very risky habit and it seems like you're getting a nice "reward" for your efforts! Note to others: don't use nicotine to attempt to influence dreams. This is a risky and unhealthy practice, unless one is using these products to give up smoking.
Do you all go flying and say to yourself that's how a do this im going to remember this when i wake up and then i can really fly. In my lucid world there are laws of like i can't do everything. It's still rude to walk into someone's apartment uninvited 😅 If you walk past a mirror do you see yourself? I don't Ive seen myself laying on a bed sleeping. I don't always have full control on myself often i wake up in lucid dream because the bathroom faucet is dripping but thats in a dream
@@DanielLoveOrg cool. I bought and did the program but then I lost it and never saw it being sold anywhere again but it was a very interesting, fascinating and exciting experience. 🤔
For anyone this may help, I've had automatic dream lucidity my entire life and in recent years I've discovered that I'm autistic. Recently, I googled it on a hunch and discovered that lots of autistic people report being lucid in their dreams without practising any lucidity induction techniques. So if it happens to you, and you already had suspicions that you are autistic, that's another validation for you. Having said that, it definitely doesn't guarantee that you're autistic - you would probably already suspect it if you are.
You should definitely get yourself into a sleep lab, there's a real lack of reliable lucid dreamers to study. However, not to be a downer, a large portion of my students over the years have been autistic but did not have the same ability, so I don't think the correlation is there..I appreciate you sharing your insight through!
Thank you for sharing htis! I do have a question. When you get to the point of being able to control your dreams, are you able to talk to your subconscious? Could it help you with problems you're dealing with in the waking life?
People watch three and four hour podcasts. A 20 minute talk is too short in my opinion on the topic. 42 years packed into twenty minutes barely scratches the surface 😊
@@DanielLoveOrg Thanks Man. I’ll subscribe now and keep my eyes peeled 👍 I have recently been spontaneously astral projecting at night so I’m interested in understanding more about this. I say spontaneously but my second one happened after I had done an hour guided meditation and a video came on after on how to astral project using yoga nidra. I let the video play because I was relaxed and somehow the darn video actually worked. It happened twice that night. I tried again a few times with no luck. To be honest I don’t know if I astral projected or it was a lucid dream, although I do remember stepping out of my body and walking out of my bedroom into a strange strange world. Thanks for messaging back 🤘

Is it bad I wanted to say "your old I'm sorry but you are old to me"
@@Starss25899 It is bad. It’s supposed to be “you’re”.
But seriously, when we’re young, we feel like we always will be (or at least that’s how it felt to me) because it’s all we’ve ever known, even though we intellectually know that we will age past our present “youthfulness”. 50 seemed like a really far off age… the distant future. Then I hit it and can’t even pretend to be slightly youngish anymore (despite looking younger than my age, which made it easy to be in denial for a while). But despite hopefully being a bit wiser than I once was, due simply to learning from mistakes, I pretty much still feel like the same person I was at 25 or 30, until I look in a mirror or notice minor aches and pains and such that didn’t use to be a thing for me. My point is, we’re all not that different, despite age. You’ll see. Did that sound pretentious? Yeah, probably.
You know what the best part of lucid dreaming is? I get to hug and tell my mother I love her and miss her very much when she shows up in my dreams.
Mate I know exactly what you mean. I don't go lucid much, and the last time I did was a couple of months ago.
I saw my Mum through frosted glass in a door. I knew it was her even though I couldn't make out her face. I knew I had lost her. And I knew she had come to see me.
I opened the door and there she stood, looking up at me with love in her eyes. And I thought, ok if this is the only way I can do this, then let's do it.
As she stepped towards me, I wrapped my arms around her and I felt hers stretch around my back, in a hug every bit as real as any she had given me before she had to go.
I could feel her face next to mine and I softly said "I miss you so much, Mum." I savoured every second because I didn't want to let her go, but I knew I had to wake up and I knew she needed to get back home.
She left and I woke up with a feeling of comfort that I can't really explain.
My heart broke on the day I lost her, but I will live in hope of moments like this in my dreams.
Wow that must be nice!
@@SkaramooshCharlie Feel you. Lost my mom after my first year of college. Winter had never felt so cold.
I do the same when my son comes to me in my dreams. I lost him almost three years ago. He was 20. The hugs feel so real. When I wake up I’m sad and happy at the same time.
❤
New sub. I've been a Lucid dreamer for 54 years. Huge sci-fi, comic book fan, with a scientific and spiritual background. My personal dream-dimension abilities are consistent in every dream, particularly the ability to levitate/fly at will.
Glad to have you here!
New here. I’ve done most of my travelling on ayahuasca and heavy dose solo mushrooms. I honestly am the world’s worst sceptic and didn’t believe in their power until I experienced it. So lucid dreaming is not something I fully believe in because it (May not) hasn’t happened to me. Could you help me understand it better (like I’m a 5 year old) 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@JAZZYLGPRODUCTIONSLLC I don't necessarily lucid dream, but I do have the ability to levitate and fly in some of my dreams.. The strange thing is, is that at some point I realize that I shouldn't be able to do that and then I lose the ability. I will be running and jumping. Trying to get airborne again and I can't.. and then I will tell myself I'm trying too hard and I will be able to levitate and fly just a little bit but won't be able to stay airborne successfully. Very frustrating.
@@drunvert for me it’s just been years of practice and concentration. It’s as automatic as breathing, however sometimes it’s difficult getting higher altitudes. I have flown as high as the upper atmosphere. I can also fly in vehicles as well as fly with people and lift heavy objects.
@@mattsullivan8286 years of simulation flights in games, movies, and just having an open minded imagination. I started when I was 4, now it’s as natural as breathing.
Same here, started lucid dreaming around 5 after I told my dad that I kept having bad dreams of falling from very high places. He told me one day, "just let it happen. When you start to fall, don't be scared and just see what happens." After that, my dreams were never the same and I thought everyone could lucid dream (even though I didn't know the term at the time).
Now my issue is my sleep is not restful at all lately. I'm so aware of everything. I'm aware that my dreams are just dreams, I'm aware that I'm asleep, I'm aware that environmental noises are being incorporated into my dreams while I sleep and can accurately reason what is causing them while I am sleeping. I'm even aware of the time of night without looking at the clock or having it close by. I am exhausted and have no idea what has caused this shift.
That's crazy. I've had little bits of all of that, but not consistently in any way. As for the falling... In some of my dreams when I was younger I would be flying, sometimes it would be in a jet plane or something but often it became just me in the air with nothing around me, and I would be very high.. I'm a few thousand feet in the air. And then for some reason I realized that I can't fly and I start to fall. And I fall at a normal precipitous rate and watch the ground come rushing up at me. But one time when I was younger I just did a tuck and roll. And stood up. And from that point on, even though I'm scared at first when I start falling I realize part way down that you're just going to tuck and roll and everything will be fine.
I’m 40 years old and have been lucid dreaming since I was 6. I’ve had thousands of lucid dreams. The dreams are centered around flying, making people appear in front of me who I desire to communicate with, and also fulfillment of sexual pleasure. I wish I could go beyond those 3 things though, into something more meaningful. I also have the ability to smell, read, look at myself in the mirror and other things that the internet says people can’t do in their dreams. Anyway, thank you for your content, you just gained another sub.
My best friend of 15+ years, was a twin, and they were premature 6 weeks as well. My buddy could lucid dream and would always tell me tons of things he could do while lucid dreaming. He was very spiritual 🙏 he passed away around last Christmas (2023) rip homie!
Honestly I prefer this type of longer format really I can sit back relax and listen ❤ quick cuts tiktok brain format is not really my thing :/
i'm the same here. i love youtube videos of longer content like thirty minutes or more and Twenty minutes like this video is a good enough lenght to start. since i got a membership and early acces of the videos i watched every video when they came out. the reason i do this is for support but also because i find it motivating to watch videos about Lucid Dreaming so that i still get interest in the subject
Same here
If TikTok is brain rot, then this is a brain cure.
15min to 25min is ideal, maybe even watch another 😜
They both have their advantages and disadvantages.
I tried lucid dreaming years ago. I read books. I did exercises, and I got Lucid a few times, just brief periods, and often I found that when I realised I was inside a dream world I got so excited I would wake up. It’s a shock to realise that you are not in the world you know but a very different one indeed.
I am excited to watch this video later this evening. To anyone who reads this, have a blessed day and good sleep! 💤
I watched it, and I must say that I was quite intrigued by the young dreamling woman, as well as by how you dealt with your nightmares. Particularly shocking was the nosebleed on the walls, I hope your parents did recover from the scene
I’m 44, and this was like a trip down my lucid memory lane. 🙏✌️
I'm so happy Daniel is not a quitter imagine if he gave up on this channel my heart and brain would miss him....
Really enjoyed listening to this. I’m a similar age so the historical context you provided was fantastic. Unfortunately I don’t share your extensive experience with lucid dreaming, but i have had 6 or 7 very pleasant lucid dream experiences in my life. Mostly occurring when I try to cram sleep, when I’ve stayed up late, my brain is buzzing, and know I need to get up in about 2 hours….
Daniel Love: The Biography. This makes me even more excited to break through the barrier of low level lucidity and almost lucid dreams. I am determined to master this skill and take it even further.
Lucid in the sky with diamonds🎶🕺💃
I'm thankful that lucid dreaming isn't just a playground but also a place of self-reflection. Otherwise, all lucid dreamers would be a lot more likely to go off the far end because there would be no reasoning to our lives.
Even though you can make lucid dreams as clear as being awake they don’t really have big impact on you otherwise and you forget them fairly fast. So it would not be a problem
Only negative is horrible sleep quality
my LD experiences and experiments have been mostly concerned with self-reflection honestly - I don't seem to play as much as I hear from other practitioners
It has been a long journey, and I am happy to have been a part of this. Even a fraction of a millionth of this. Thank you for your time, effort, patience, and enthusiasm. I really enjoyed listening to your adventures. Thank you for sharing this story.
You look far too young to have been lucid dreaming that long, Daniel, but you seem like an honest chap so I'll believe you. Great video 👍
Flattery will get you everywhere. Thanks, that was nice to hear.
The greatest curse of all in any dream is fear.. Daniel is not a coward!❤
As someone who is in their 20s, imagining 40+ years of dedication on anything is hard to imagine. I tend to notice that my passions change every so often, going from one to another before some fall into this cycle where they pop back up before disappearing for months/years before they show up again, so seeing a topic of study stick with someone is very admirable.
I appreciate that you broke this video into decades as it really helps convey the journey a bit more. I'm still within that first five years where I'm still having to learn the ropes, but I'm also in that time in my life where a lot does change. The pacing of the video really helps in confirming that my struggles with lucid dreaming are to be expected and to not be hard on myself for those struggles.
I'm keeping this comment a bit on the shorter side, but this was a very informative and inspiring video! I trust and look to you for advice and knowledge on lucid dreaming due to your experiences and helping me learn how to lucid dream. Great video and can't wait to see the new direction the channel!
P.S. - second time leaving a comment, hoping it goes through!
Long videos are great! I must say that your way of thinking as a 5 year old seems very smart...😇
All of mine which started after dying in a helicopter crash, coming out of my body feeling amazing and then into the amazing black void. Since then, ill catch myself mid dream and start to float up into the sky, wind noises, then like a rocket ship blast off into another dimension. I have also seen my energy body recently which is a golden crazy looking energy and my head had these repeating bad ass patterns in it. Then I woke up. The fun continues.
ive been lucid dreaming sporadically for several years, i'm a avid zazen practitioner and i feel this played a huge role in me having these experiences. about a year ago i started remembering the experience of realizing that im dreaming while in the dream and learning my "triggers" to realizing that im in a dream, this has helped in being able to lucid dream more often but it's still pretty random when it happens. just bought your book on amazon, from this video it looks like it would be helpful in exploring this deeper.
I used to get taken out of my room in Upstate New York when I was like 6 or 7 years old. I would be way up in the sky, and it was super quiet. These invisible voices would tell me stuff that I remember only vaguely today. Mostly that "I was different and I wasn't going to fit in here" (and I don't 🤦♂️). Fast forward to about my mid 20's. I'm in the Bahamas and I'm going parasailing. I get up in the air. BAM! To my surprise I suddenly noticed how silent it was up there. "Just like when I was a kid", I think to myself. But years later it dawned on me.. how could I have known it was silent way up in the sky before I experienced that in my 20's if what I had experienced as a kid was only a dream?
Wonderful video! It's really interesting to hear from your personal perspective how lucid dreaming and what it means to be a lucid dreamer evolved over time.
This video is probably one of my favorites. Very down to earth and inspirational.
Thanks for this bro. I've been looking for a vid. This is perfect. Thanks so much
My mother had one of those masks! I remember it but I could not find any information on it until now. It was driving me crazy. I am so excited to find out that it was a Stephen Laberge mask. Thank you!
Love this video. Been a bit distant from lucid dreaming for the last few weeks because of an extremely busy schedule, but this is extremely motivating to get back in the swing of things. Had my first lucid dream in a few weeks this morning as well, so that's cool. Keep up the good work, Daniel.
wow, no big thanks for this success story either. I also have sleep terror, I once had a situation where I was crushed by a forklift truck and I was screaming loudly or I ran for water to drink because I thought I would die otherwise. meditation before sleeping
What you have said is very interesting, I respond late to videos, but I am still getting the hang of everything and learning and am still working on lucid dreaming. I still find it very difficult to maintain awareness and observation in daily life
I hope I can become as good as you at lucid dreaming. very inspiring

Thank you so much Jim! - Night terrors really do live up to their name don't they! I'm glad you found the video inspiring, I hope this gives you (and others) a perspective on the timescales for this subject, and how that patience and perseverance are worth it!
I hate how to algorithm is always against you. I know there was another channel trying to sabotage you too. I just want you to know that everything you share is super valuable and we’re very grateful that you choose to teach others. I wish you could go on Joe Rogan so you can get the recognition you deserve and people can see how knowledgeable and how you are no bs with everything you teach. Appreciate you bro!
I really enjoyed your testimony of how you learned to lucid dream to fix your nightmare problems. Then that dream guide showed up....
I had also picked up a Nova Dreamer back around 1996-1997. Never really got much of anywhere with it, which seems to match your experience, though i probably didn't try as hard/long as I could have with it. I might even still have it shoved in a box somewhere, no doubt with the foam all degraded and such.
Daniel sua historia é incrivel e muito inspiradora, eu comecei com sonhos lucidos por uma forma muito interessante, em meus 17 anos no ultimo ano de escola eu lia bastante a biblia e lá encontrei versiculos sobre sonhos e a interpretação deles, acabei me fascinando no assunto mas nao fui atras, até que encontrei um jogo chamado Yume Nikki e comecei a tentar interpretar os sonhos do jogo de uma maneira mais psicologica, criando teorias e etc igual muita gente faz... Até que realmente fui atras do assunto, comecei vendo videos em portugues e ao passar do tempo passei a ver em outros idiomas (como o seu), passei a ler livros (o seu tambem) e comecei a ter sonhos lucidos com meus 17 anos, fazia meu diario dos sonhos no meio da aula ja que nao sabia que precisava fazer quando acordar, fui testando tecnicas de realidade como um maluco na sala de aula contando os proprios dedos. Porem diferente de voce Daniel, acabei me reservando nesse assunto, tentei ensinar e inclusive até consegui fazer as pessoas darem mais valor aos seus sonhos, mas não divulgo tanto assim isso por achar que nao tenho o conhecimento necessario para ensinar algo. Meus 18 anos acabei perdendo a habilidade de sonhos lucidos (talvez por nao conversar com quase ninguem sobre e por ir perdendo o interesse) e focando mais no mundo fisico, anotando raramente meus sonhos em meu diario, nos meus 19 (atualmente) estou servindo ao exercito e isso está dificultando e muito o tempo para sonhos lucidos, mas eu agradeço a isso, porque assim como voce Daniel quero aprender a ensinar, e para isso eu tambem preciso aprender, preciso aprender a ter sonhos lucidos novamente assim como eu tinha em meus 17 anos com sonhos lucidos a cada 3 dias, só conseguia isso por causa daquele entusiasmo e emoção de algo novo, mas agora, ja acostumado com o assunto, não uso nenhuma emoção passageira para ter sonhos lucidos, mas sim estou conquistando eles com muito esforço de pratica, tentativa e erros.
Por isso agradeço ao senhor Daniel, por me ensinar, pois é graças ao senhor que todo o meu sacrificio nesses 3 anos não vai ser em vão, nesse video o senhor me mostrou isso, que a jornada é longa mas o final é lindo.
i just want to say, i just started rereading your book "Are You Dreaming" again and i'm at chapter 4 already and it amazes me how interesting this book still is. reading about the History of the Lucid Dreamers was also fun to reread again. i think when i finished the book for the second time i gonna flip through the book when i think its time to try Lucidity Techniques such like WILD and MILD Etc. and maybe its time after finishing your book again, that i going to make my own Peg System. anyway, stay lucid and keep up the good works!
Once again the god's of the algorithm randomly decided to blow my mind
This is amazing - thank you
Dear Daniel Love, thank you very much for sharing this authentic view of your life. I must be of the same generation and find interesting similarities. However it is only the second UA-cam video I have seen from you, but I will certainly learn more about you and Lucid Dreaming.
I didn't believe in lucid dream until I started to get interest in lucid dream, so I would watch videos about the subject, and one night I add my first lucid dream at 46 years old about one year ago. It was incredible and very vivid. i never panic, and I knew straight away it was a lucid dream. After that I add a few more, but now I find it hard to have another lucid dream. I've a few dreams I know I'm dreaming but it's not lucid, so I don't count as a lucid dream. I think for people that never add a lucid dream like me in past the easy way you can have more of a chance of having one is to learn about lucid dream and watch videos because the more interesting you are the more of a chance you have to have a lucid dream.
While not related to lucid dreaming, if you are interested in different views of the self and what makes you YOU, I recommend looking into the horror game SOMA. If you can get past the scary parts of it, the existential ideas it puts out there are really thought provoking
I can conjure up the sleep picture in my head. When I can’t sleep I know the “film” like visions that come just before I drift off to sleep and it’s always the same. Over the years I’ve been able to go deeper into the colors and dynamics of the vision and still be aware of them. I need to paint it 😃thank you.
Great story. But you missed an important part… how did your personal relationships play into your lucid dreaming pursuits? I’m talking primary ones… like having a girlfriend? I find that it creates extra challenges especially if she isn’t into lucid dreaming but can also bring its own rewards if you can somehow share your experience with them. I would love to hear your take on this. Hopefully you’ve not been so dedicated to your lucid dream life that you’ve skipped this part of the human experience.
That could be a topic for a future video. But it's a tricky topic as one has to be mindful and respectful of the privacy of others (and my own).
But perhaps a more broad strokes video would be worth doing, as you're right - interpersonal relationships and changes in living conditions and lifestyle can have quite an impact on practice.
But yes, I do also have a life outside of lucid dreaming 🤣
Lucid dreaming is definitely a great tool with which we can explore our minds. Thanks for this informative video, Daniel! ❤️🙏🏻
& run n fly wild..
Love the longer videos I was eating oatmeal while listening, very enlightening… thank you 🙏🏾
I knew the longer video format would have good engagement. People are tired of compressed-information short content. Would love to see more 💙
You'll like Saturday's video in that case :)
I believe that lucid dreams are capable of being recalled as real events and they are held in memory as such, so I carry around memories of certain lucid dreams and from time-to-time I reflect on them. Probably the most mind-boggling at the time wasn't when I figured out how to jump over buildings or fly. I was about 8 years old and I was dreaming that I was standing in our front garden with my little friend who lived across the street. I suddenly realised it was a dream and exclaimed to my friend that "Hey, this is a dream". We then started to argue, as kids do. If in waking life I said to him "Hey, we're in a simulation" he would probably answer the same way he did during the dream - "No, we're not". I tried my best to convince him but he wasn't having any of it. My mind could have surely allowed him to say something like "Oh yeah, we are" but it stubbornly did not let that happen.
I had a lucid dream last night for the first time in 13 years. I fell asleep listening to a podcast and I could still hear the podcast when I was dreaming. So I decided to fly into space cause I couldnt think of anything else to do. I blasted through the roof like superman and flew past pastel planets listening to a funny podcast. Was pretty cool. The first time I lucid dreamed I was 8 and sat on a bench with other kids listening to a guide at nasa, around us was just white, in front was a extremely tall window with a green field outside. Asked a girl sitting next to me to pinch me, she shushed me. I started to panic and strained myself to wake up. Woke up drenched in sweat. That happened after I'd been to nasa camp. Was also pretty cool. 12 years later I learned what it was and started practicing to make it happen again.
Commenting to boost - I really like these longer-form videos!
Thanks for sharing this! Much love from India 💙
Thank you for sharing, I do believe that you are a natural lucid dreamer and also I do have the same believe to understand lucid dreaming in order to overcome nightmares sometimes thinking in a different perspective will help to overcome nightmares.
Hi Daniel, I just watched a couple of your videos for the first time. I first became aware of the use of dreams to develop awareness and exploring consciousness through the books written by Carlos Castaneda. Are you familiar with them? I started reading his third book,Journey To Ixtlan,in 1973. He went on to write eight more books chronicling his apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian shaman. Extremely fascinating and informative. His book,The Art of Dreaming,was released in December of 1993. His books dealt with the development of awareness,attention,and intent. The lineage that he was a part of discovered that there are a sequence of experiences that one can pass through that can lead to the ultimate state of being that they termed,Total Awareness,Total Consciousness,and total Freedom. One of their goals was to forge a dreaming body,an exact replica of the physical body,except for the eyes. The end result was that they could be in the world functioning in two separate bodies at the same time. What are the differences between lucid dreaming and out of body experiences,in your opinion?
I've only done that couple of times and its awesome. People were actually out to get me. Another time me and four other people pushed a zombie over a railing. I love lucid dreaming. Even if I can't explain it.
Thanks for sharing, inspiring!
I really enjoyed this video. I love hearing about people's journey with LD.
Thansk Giz, I hope life is treating you well!
@@DanielLoveOrg I am on top of the world :)
First of all, thank you for sharing this. Its important because it adds perspective. This video made me take it easy with my actual struggles now (do not know why, but been struggling with concentration while N.O.W. and rc....and i am activly detoxing from midia stimulous....imagine if i wasnt. My personality wishes that this could be a straightforward process, but 2 months ago i was nailing it in N.O.W. and now....i lack the seriousness of the question "am i dreaming" like i had 2 months earlier....do not know what happened....need time to think and overthink what am i doing wrong. Fuck**g frustrating.
Last night a friend described lucid dreaming as knowing that you're dreaming and able to control elements of it. My reply? "Aren't all dreams like that?" I haven't had a dream that wasn't lucid. I can fly, alter the environment, and have full conversations. 'Thought everyone could do that. Live and learn I guess!
Get yourself to a sleep lab in that case, because you'd make history.
Hello, nice video:) After more than one month of a lucid dream training break (motivation was just gone with over 4 and a half year of lucid dream training and no real success) I am starting out new. I started to use a countdown clock to make sure, that I make the RC at least one minute. Can you tell, when the book with the ART will be available on I-pad ?
I'll try to make it available ASAP
@@DanielLoveOrg Cool. I cant wait to read it ^^
Er. So. I was born in the UK in 1984, same. Six months premature. As a little kid I had terrible nightmares, often where I was tortured by demons. And the realisation that if I could remember I was dreaming I would escape the nightmare. Reoccurring dream character, a female in her 20s, I've thought of her as my anima. She didn't teach me to fly but throughout my life I'll see her again. Not a mother for me, a sister. Other reoccurring characters: the shadow. It would impersonate other people and then when I was alone with them it would attack me, and so I had to learn to see it in the eyes of people in my dreams so I could avoid it. The next intense period of dreams was in my early 20s.
Serious question: why would astral projection a misinterpretation of lucid dreaming? Why can’t lucid dreaming be a misinterpretation of astral projection? Is it only because a scholar is more likely to write about lucid dreaming than astral projection?
Occam's razor.
I’m 42 too, never had a lucid dream, ever
This was great!!! Very informative and interesting.
Are there any big studies done on flying in dreams?
I can fly in pretty much every dream, lucid or not and i have gone from being able to jump high, then i had to flap my arms to get up and now i just fly at will with no flapping or jumping. I have also attempted to show people in my dreams how to fly.
It's sort of weird that he doesn't ever really describe what lucid dreaming is actually like him.
But his book was super helpful for me and I appreciate his content.
That wasn't the purpose of this video, it's an overview of my journey as a lucid dreamer (and the general theme of dreams in each decade), If you're looking specifically for a detailed dream reports, here's one.... ua-cam.com/video/U_wDHYU2dFQ/v-deo.html
I love and prefer this form of content but have not yet had the chance to see, as I'm in one of the busiest weeks of my life. That said, I just wanted to say if that's your baby picture, that's an epic picture. Look like a future ruler of the world. I'm really looking forward to this one
Thank you as always Daniel for great content
Do you have any videos on facing and conquering fears.
So interesting. Have you done a video explaining what it is how exactly it works and how someone could pick it up? Maybe it’s in your book but would love to know. Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Great to have you hear Matt! The book is definitely the most comprehensive and structured place to start (the channel is essentially an expansion on the ideas laid out in it).. however, if you're looking for a video course, there's the 19 day course here on the channel, it does require membership (one month is about the price of a coffee), but the first three videos are free so you can see if it's for you. Other than that, there are hundreds of free videos on the channel, which should give you a good overview, it's just a little less structured.
Hope that helps!
@@DanielLoveOrg thanks so much for your response 🙏🏻 I’m certainly going to check it out 🫡
I like the idea that you fought off so many dream monsters that your mind just ran out of them😂 Very inspiring and fun video btw, i really liked it! (if only youtube would promote it more..)
the longest video on the channel? we havent forgotten about those 8 hour ones 😉
on another note, the recurring mother-like dreamling is fascinating and i wonder if that character resembles anyone in your life, and if not im surprised you dont believe in god (i think?) because most people that have gone through what you have would probably see her as a divine figure.
also interesting is your 6 month visit to india! my family is from nepal so theres a lot of cultural similarities. im curious what you learned there, maybe will book a lesson just to hear it at some point
Love longer videos like this!
I always wondered, would it be harder for me to lucid dream as a teenager, since my prefrontal cortex is still developing?
What’s the difference between lucid dreaming and astral projection?
Lucid dreaming is a dream in which you know you are dreaming. Astral projection is a dream (or hallucination) where a person makes the assumption they have left their body.
Both can have varied levels of realism, and often feel as real as waking life.
The former is founded on established scientific knowledge, the latter assumption is in contradiction to scientific knowledge and generally considered a matter of personal belief.
@@DanielLoveOrg thanks brother for the quick response, top man.
I've LD for 52 years now I'm on the OBE thing, it's not as entertaining but it's interesting.
Do you think that the recurring female in your early lucid dreams originated from 'outside' you - i.e. not originating from YOUR mind? You said she taught you things you didnt already know.
I like to remain open-minded to such ideas, but also try to stay grounded with more probable scientific answers too. But who knows! And I didn't mention in the video, but she's still a regular visitor to my dream world.
@@DanielLoveOrg Probably a spirit guide. If you ever consider regression therapy, then maybe you can find out. Cheers.
@@DanielLoveOrg That is fascinating. Have you ever questioned her regarding her origin?
Edit: Sorry, I don't mean to be intrusive. I'm interested as to whether these recurring characters originate from the personal 'mind' or some kind of 'larger reality' that exists outside the filters of the aforementioned personal mind.
Great video yes!! The Tibetan Buddhists are expert lucid dreamers.
Question. I sometimes get this sinking feeling after laying down on my back for 2 or 3 hours. I would remain completely still and relax myself during the 2-3hours. It feels like I'm transporting or going somewhere. Is this astral projection or astral travel? Often times my arms or hands would quickly move or twitch on it's own before it happens.
@@TheAgeofWarriors I'd say that's good old relaxation. Enjoy it ☺️
Interesting. Thank you for sharing. : )
man, i love your vids, bro. btw, can you taste things in a lucid dream?
You can indeed, although sometimes it can get a little weird
I became self-aware in a dream and just ignored it 😭😭
Was the woman in the dream mother kundalini?
Sometimes I hope when we pass away it'll be like waking up from a dream.... Well, in my case a nightmare. The past year I've been waking up from dreams not knowing where I'm at.... nothing in my house looks familiar. After a few seconds I'll finally figure out where I'm at
Have you ever gone from a lucid dream to an outer body experience (like astral projection)?
Watch this, it'll answer your question.... ua-cam.com/video/z33xMVAaEkc/v-deo.html
I want to learn to consistently lucid dream to study and find a spiritual trainer.
Have ever asked to stop the dream to see what is behind it?
You should do more video like this it was nice
What does it mean
Interesting. I have a question; in all your experiences, have you ever had the chance to encounter the "inorganic beings" mentioned in the book The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda?
I've met many curious things. But it's worth remembering that the work of Castenda is fictional.
I want to visit all places and people from movies, series and books I read in my lucid dreams
I had similar experience until I turned 17 I don't lucid dream anymore for over 17 years how do I get back to it?
If you want to jump in seriously and with steucture, give the 19 day course on this channel a try, or my book (links on channel page). Otherwise work through the content on the channel and you'll get there.
Uff, I would like to lucid dream so much, but my dreams are always recurring and have a pretty solid scenario every night with only the characters changing sometimes. I wonder if regained awareness would still work in such a case
42 years where you can do whatever the hell you want every night? Must be nice.
Its brilliant fun when u get to suss out flying n things! OBE's are better! du du du du Here comes bod du du du thats my tune to go lucid or OBE ing. You got to treat it as fun which it is...
I recently started using 20mg nicotine patches to help me quit smoking and found that I started having very vivid dreams, I hadn't had memorably dreams since I was a child so it was quite exciting. In one of the dreams I realised I was dreaming and became lucid. I won't share what I did lol.
Nicotine has a molecular structure very similar to a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, which is involved in memory, mental clarity and many of the functions required for lucidity. So your experience of more memorable and lucid dreams is to be expected in circumstances where your brain is receiving nicotine during REM.
However, it's important to remember that prolonged used can potentially desensitize these receptors and make lucidity and dream recall harder.
Still, well done for giving up smoking, it's a very risky habit and it seems like you're getting a nice "reward" for your efforts!
Note to others: don't use nicotine to attempt to influence dreams. This is a risky and unhealthy practice, unless one is using these products to give up smoking.
Pls do more long videos
Do you all go flying and say to yourself that's how a do this im going to remember this when i wake up and then i can really fly.
In my lucid world there are laws of like i can't do everything. It's still rude to walk into someone's apartment uninvited 😅
If you walk past a mirror do you see yourself? I don't
Ive seen myself laying on a bed sleeping.
I don't always have full control on myself often i wake up in lucid dream because the bathroom faucet is dripping but thats in a dream
Damn, I've run out of coffee...I'll go and get one!
Nice Superman suit btw!
No you have to sleep bro

Have you ever heard of the book “Lucid dreams in 30 days?”
Yes I own every published book on lucid dreaming
@@DanielLoveOrg cool. I bought and did the program but then I lost it and never saw it being sold anywhere again but it was a very interesting, fascinating and exciting experience. 🤔
I tried it but wasn't successful.
Very interesting description.
I have been suffering from “sleep paralysis” for since i was 14. I am now 42.
Lucid man or daniel i want to learn how to lucod dream for 2 elyears yet some times i stop cus of demotivasion any tips to keep on going
Have you wrote a book called "are you dreaming?" 😊
Nice.
For anyone this may help, I've had automatic dream lucidity my entire life and in recent years I've discovered that I'm autistic. Recently, I googled it on a hunch and discovered that lots of autistic people report being lucid in their dreams without practising any lucidity induction techniques. So if it happens to you, and you already had suspicions that you are autistic, that's another validation for you. Having said that, it definitely doesn't guarantee that you're autistic - you would probably already suspect it if you are.
You should definitely get yourself into a sleep lab, there's a real lack of reliable lucid dreamers to study. However, not to be a downer, a large portion of my students over the years have been autistic but did not have the same ability, so I don't think the correlation is there..I appreciate you sharing your insight through!
I’ve experienced my whole life and have a psychiatrist and I asked if I was. He said I wasn’t.
Thank you for sharing htis! I do have a question. When you get to the point of being able to control your dreams, are you able to talk to your subconscious? Could it help you with problems you're dealing with in the waking life?
Within reason, but the mind is far more complicated than we can grasp. But it is certainly a helpful tool.
People watch three and four hour podcasts. A 20 minute talk is too short in my opinion on the topic. 42 years packed into twenty minutes barely scratches the surface 😊
Absolutely, I'll definitely do deeper longer content in the future. :)
@@DanielLoveOrg Thanks Man. I’ll subscribe now and keep my eyes peeled 👍 I have recently been spontaneously astral projecting at night so I’m interested in understanding more about this. I say spontaneously but my second one happened after I had done an hour guided meditation and a video came on after on how to astral project using yoga nidra. I let the video play because I was relaxed and somehow the darn video actually worked. It happened twice that night. I tried again a few times with no luck. To be honest I don’t know if I astral projected or it was a lucid dream, although I do remember stepping out of my body and walking out of my bedroom into a strange strange world. Thanks for messaging back 🤘
