Thread: Video that helped me become lucid last night

cool, ill post results tommorow

I watched this and when I fell asleep I dreamt I was watching it....I almost became lucid but didn't.

I had a good look through Rebecca's website a while ago and I don't doubt that it is a genuine review website. Therefore it would be safe to assume, for me anyway, that Pete Casale has researched the method in his first video to see if it has any validity. He does say that his videos are experimental and hopes that others can get the same results. It is promising that both Pete and Rebecca had results in the first week so I am going to see what happens after a few weeks practice. I see a lot of people here dissapointed after their first try or two. Don't give up. It was clear to me from watching the first video that it will require repeated use for most people and certainly for the second video. I wish he would respond to my email as well.

Sweet. Fucking. Jesus.

First try watching the video, Lucid, wintastic control, so vivid and clear, and best of all, it went on for maybe an hour.

I approve so hard. It may be subjective, but I had an amazing lucid dream after not even trying for about a month.

All in all, getting to the dream was very odd. I had a non-lucid dream, then I woke up. Before I could move, something in my head was flashing words and saying something like: "OK. That was a dream, you are sleeping. The REM cycle has restarted." And I think it was a part of HI, but through my closed eyes I saw a loading bar (it very strongly resembled the one in part 1 of the video, the one explaining brain activity) and some sort of message read "restarting REM..." and the bar was starting to get full as time went on. As soon as the bar was full, everything went calm and weird. I instantly knew I was in a dream. After stabilizing, it not only lasted a loooong time, but it was vivid and I had near perfect control.

I strongly urge to follow the direct instructions about watching it once and anything else it says. Needless to say, I'm stoked about tonight.

Excellent, keep us updated. Just to clarify did you watch video one twice and video two once exactly as instructed.

Yes, Video 1 twice and Video 2 once.

It may also be important to note that while you fall asleep, do what video 1 says.

That may make a massive difference doing it whilst falling asleep. How long does it take you to fall asleep please so that I know how long you practiced the technique in video one for? I have been doing it for ten minutes before bed.

What people are failing to understand is These videos are just like any induction technique out there ; they will work on some but not everyone...In my case they only managed to give me a dream recall boost on the first day only , and the remaining 6 days no difference at all...

This is why I pointed out that the videos need to be used for a few weeks to see if results can be replicated by a larger number of people.

I listen to music for a minutes while in bed, last night for about 10 minutes. Then I decided to go to sleep, so I started visualizing. It was maybe 5-10 minutes before I fell asleep. I think that the most important part is for you to have it fresh on your memory when you go to sleep, in other words, it's best for it to be your last thoughts before you sleep. I recommend you do it when you decide to go to sleep, not to lie down. (i.e if you read, watch tv, think, etc finish up before you start with the visualizations). For me, I was doing it when I fell asleep, so I don't remember the last moment (I strongly assume that that's a vital thing). The most important thing here is, DON'T I REPEAT DON'T do the visualizations, then say "Ok, time for bed." Do it while you fall asleep, not before. A tip I offer is to be very relaxed while doing it. Don't focus on what you're doing, focus more on falling asleep. As for a time lapse, well, I suppose that varies from soul to soul.

I strongly recommend to follow the instructions to the T, I had very positive results doing so.

Makes sense as the subconscious is most receptive in the moments before sleep. If you can replicate it then that would be very promising.

it made me remember 2 dreams last night. I hate remembering 2 dreams, but im happy at the same time, because its like the first time this week i remembered a dream.

why do you hate remembering 2 dreams?

because i want to remember more, knowing people got LDs from the video. 2/6 dreams = no good.

I've watched this video before going to bed and with very little effort I had 6-8 lucids in one night.Not exactly sure how many because there were many DEILDs and I couldn't remember the first ones properly

Again watched the video had one lucid at about 1am and another one at about 6am followed by 4 DEILDs

Two nights of great success. Can I ask some questions please as I am not sure what exactly you are doing?

1: Do you normally have this kind of success?

2: Do you practice the method in video 1? If so, for how long?

3: Do you practice the method in video 2? If so how many times?

I rarely have so many lucid in one night so I think the videos really help.I'm not so sure about the first video because I only watched it once or twice a week ago and stopped because I had a lot of stuff going on at school.But now since it's vacation I have more time for lucid dreaming.Last night I only watched the 2nd video like 3 times I think and before I went to bed I told myself I'd become lucid.It's not like I have to practice or do anything special.I simply watch carefully a few times before going to bed. Well that's about it.I'll see how it goes tonight

Thanks

I'll watch the video, although this reminds me of the VERY FIRST time that someone posted about 100mg of vitamin B6 on this forum. I also had a lucid dream at the very first night upon trying the B6 method. Then only sporadic success. I'd say this is all due to hype and placebo effect. Or it's the expectations of success that mess up subsequent attempts.

I watched this video yesterday before going to sleep, then made a WBTB ( didn't use any technique actually ) and became lucid for a while with a false awakening after .
I think it would be better if I watched it while the WBTB + using a technique .

Anyone else get a LD out of this video?

Edit: I just watched the first video and my eyes were flickering around like crazy. That only happens when am about to go WILD.

Probably because the objective of the second video is your subconscious mind and if you watch it repeatedly and pay attention to each detail it will reach your conscious mind more than your subconscious mind.

I will try this tonight.

Last night I didn't become lucid.I had good dream recall which I usually have anyways,and in a dream I was like:''I've only done this in dreams.I can't believe I'm doing this in real life!!''
