Hi edge0125

it is 11:11 am here and I am watching your first (10:01) YouTube called:

now it is 3:30 pm, I’ve been at Netzone Internet Café for over 3 wonderful hours doing these 2 posts about your wonderful part 1. I am just reading through these two Word-docs before I post them.

Lucid Dreaming
How to To Control Your Dreams

it is good stuff.

In this post I will copy you informative frames from your part-one clip. In my next post I will transcribe every thing “you” say.

Frame 10

Note:
A lucid dream is a completely natural experience. It is just like any other dream except for the small difference of your knowledge that it is a dream. It has nothing to do with new age, the occult, or escapism, nor can it harm you any more than a regular dream could.

Frame 12

Remembering your dreams is the starting place for learning to have lucid dreams. If you don’t recall your dreams, even if you do have a lucid dream, you won’t remember it!

Frame 13

Dream periods get longer as the night proceeds.

The first dream of the night is the shortest, perhaps 10 minutes in length, while after 8 hours of sleep, dream periods can be 45 minutes to an hour long.

It is during the REM stage that we dream. The longer we sleep the longer the REM stage gets (which means your dreams will be longer)

(3:40)
Frame 14

Is a nice clear graph plotting “sleep stages” (especially REM) against “hours slept” in a 10 hour night.

Frame 15

Dream Journal

Keep a dream journal by your bed and record every dream you have.

Eventually you will be able to recall every dream you have. Your mind will know that you want to remember your dreams.

(5:26)
Frame 25

Is the 2nd nice clear graphs showing 6 different brain waves:

Waking
Stage 1 sleep
Stage 2 sleep
Stage 3 sleep
Stage 4 sleep and
REM sleep

To the left is a graph showing the all 6 stages of … umm … consciousness across 8 hours (from going to sleep and waking, inclusively).

Frame 28

WBTB (Wake Back To Bed) Technique

The concept behind the WBTB technique is that you are utilizing the fact that you wake up in the middle of the REM state.

It is nearly impossible to go from the waking state into a lucid dream when you go to bed first thing at night.

As you sleep, your REM cycles will became longer. This means that your dream will become longer.

The goal in this technique is to wake up in the middle of the REM stage then you can go back to sleep and enter right back into finishing that REM stage (which is when you dream).

Frame 29

The 3rd neat graph of time slept with stages of sleep. Showing how time in REM increases (as the night goes on) from:

5 minutes (at ~90 minute mark)
10minutes (at ~3 hour mark)
15 minutes (at ~4 and half hour mark)
30-60 minutes (at ~between 6 and 7 hour mark)


Frame 30

A 4th graph
In blue and red
Clearly showing how time in REM (dreams) increased the longer you sleep.

Frame 31

WBTB

Step 1:
Set the alarm on your clock or cell phone to wake you up 2 hours before you usually wake up
This is because you will likely still be in the REM stage, which is where your dreams occur.

Step 2:
Get in bed and go to sleep at night as you normally do.

Step 3:
When the alarm wakes you up, turn it off.

Frame 32

WBTB

Step 5
Try to stay awade for a few minutes (Some people prefer to stay a wake for a few seconds, while others prefer half an hour).

At this point you can try one of the Lucid Dreaming induction techniques. (which I will cover later on in this film)

Step 6:
Do a reality check 5 – 10 minutes to check if you are dreaming.

(8:14)
Frame 36

Reality Check

This is a way of determining whether or not you are in a dream state or a waking state.

(9:57)
Frame 48

Reality Checks

Examples of reality checks used by most lucid dreamers
