Dr. Stephen LaBerge is a world renowned expert on lucid dreaming. His groundbreaking research at Stanford University demonstrated the validity of lucid dreaming to the scientific world, and his books Lucid Dreaming and Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming are best sellers. Dr. LaBerge is a dynamic speaker, known for his humor and ability to stimulate thought and to make scientific concepts relevant to the individual. Through the years his research team has developed highly effective techniques, including technological aids, for building lucid dreaming skills. LaBerge also has extensive personal experience with lucid dreaming, having learned to have lucid dreams at will. He is an unabashed advocate of lucid dreaming, believing that the world would be a better place if more people developed the art.

I can't describe!!!! I was struggling with lucid dreaming for 2 years and now , yesterday I performed wild and I did it!!!!!!!!! AGGHHHH
+Miranda SimGirl WILD definitely goes into like my top 3 most intense experiences! EVER LOL
Like he said you have a dream and be aware, then you manipulate it. Totally true, didn't think this existed until I searched for it. My wife told me I was crazy cause I could control my dreams.
Can you still go lucid? That’s great.
gratulation :-) did you do reality checks?
@@PhilosophyOfDreams2014 Hey, how's your lucid dreaming still going ?
He's mentioning Frederik Van Eeden here, a Dutch writer and researcher who developed the term Lucide Dreaming, early 1900's. He was at the forefront of scientific research regarding this matter. He determined that one of the core points of lucide dreaming are;
1) being able to direct the attention consciously within a dream
2) having access to memorie
3) ability for targeted behaviour
4) dream reality testing (as in reflecting like "this is not posible"). In normal dreaming there's no reflection on or reality testing of the content.
5) and having acces to cognitive activities like counting or reading etc
Who or what is it thats dreaming? You could call it a dream-ego. Consciousness can also be aware of this sub-ego within the dream witch makes you the detached observer (see point 4).
Seth said it well "Your dreaming life is the other side of your waking life and your Waking life is the other side of your dreaming life". When go to sleep in the physical, you are waking up in the nonphysical and vice versa. Your job, our job is to integrate them completely so you will have total clarity.
True. I have fallen asleep in lucid dreams and woken up in the physical.
I happened to attend his workshop at Stanford U. back in the summer of '99. Fascinating. I've never been able to successfully condition myself to have regular lucid dreams, even with the techniques he's prescribed though on the rare occasions I do have them, they're a real gas!
What can I say? Two things maybe. Firstly, his methods are outdated. The methods he came up with in the 70s and 80s that he published in the 90s are obsolete. They are not suitable for the over-conditioned, over-stimulated, dopamine-dependent minds of the 21st century. New methods are continually being developed. It is one's responsibility to keep up with these. If you read an old book, don't be surprised the methods don't work. Secondly, his methods worked best for him (and acceptably well for some of his contemporaries). What one must realize is that you must invent your own method, what works best for YOU. I have mine, it makes me lucid every night, but it might not work for you.
Feels so overwhelmed..while listening all this.. this guy is same as me..it's like..he knows how I feel in lucid dreams
I find it very interesting that the significant experience he described sounds very similar to many people’s DMT/Psychedelic experiences.. That idea of oneness and simply being a point of awareness with an overwhelming sense of love
Also near death experiences
I think that is because people explore their subconscious when they do all those things.
@@aesbj9228 agree
I have been spinning in dreams for last month. Just tracked down this guy. Seems like it's a technique to. Stay lucid. Odd that a part of me knew this whilst conscious part of me didn't know.
Accept the darkness they only need love, the polarities shedding.. This happened in the waking for me , i had fear which dissolved after that. All inclusive Non-dualistic oneness. I'm so Glad i was reminded of this.Thank you
This is awesome hearing a guy as qualified as him talk about this subject
back to the future :)
"The Libyans!"
😂
What about 4 years back?
LOL
Congratulations! And thank you for who ever uploaded this, incredible food for thought.
some of what Stephen is saying reminds me of things, that Ramanah Maharshi said about the different states... he said he was always conscious in waking, sleeping and dreaming..
"I never realised an empty spae would feel so full" - this really intrigues me!
Stephen, I love your work and appreciate every one of your insights. They've helped me tremendously in the past, and I expect them to continue. You're the best!
That being said, if you ever want to change your profession, you could make very good money being a Jeff Goldblum impersonator.
Thanks again for all the great work!
I don't know much about lucid dreams however all my life I've had premonitions that have all come to pass....One particular night I had a dream that I was at the bottom of a grave looking up and I felt as if a soul was being lifted out of it ....as I was lifting out I saw at the top a small gray coffin with white roses on it and a former girlfriend that I had no contact with in over a year and people I didn't know ...strangely it was around Thanksgiving time like now ....I saw her crying and felt her pain and then I sat up in a sweat thinking this was real ....I never really have nightmares like this .....Some weeks later I sat at my desk and said to myself ...I have to know ....but she is going to think I'm crazy .....I was compelled to call ....She answered the phone in a very small sickly voice ....Hi Brian ....I asked her if she was ok and she said she wasn't ....I told her that I had a dream about her ....she said to tell her...so I proceeded to tell her what I just wrote then when I said said a small gray coffin ...she stopped me and in her accent said Brian ,...how do you know this ? I told her it what I saw that night ....she was very frail so I didn't press her as I asked questions ....She said she didn't want to talk about it ....but she did say ...On that night a child did die and I almost died that day .....with that I said that if she needed anything I'm here for her and that I would pray for her.... My take on this is that we were still very connected and I felt and heard her extreme pain and cry out for help like an entangled particle ...as if I was her .
that is a very interesting experience and exactly like what i experience when 'seeing' the future in a dream. i call it 'dreaming true'. i've only had three.
I've had a few crazy experiences with this. Probably one of the more popular topics on my channel. People are waking up to this! Great video!
Wtf
What a brilliant mind! Learn much from this wiseman!
Absolutely spot on! Very, very true. This is the Integration Work on our Shadow, work on un-develing the devil, work on a fine differentiation of feelings, on growing the conscience which is objective and beyond any kind of morality. Also relevant in Jungian way to integration. Only those who experienced this can recognise it and understand it.
A meditation technique- Sit on the Earth- Lotus- close eyes- breathe- watch thought-breathe- Allow thoughts to float by like clouds moving across a still sky- breath- thoughts will tempt you to play- watch- breathe. When the dog on the curb sees the ball bounce by it gives chase and loses itself over&over&over&over&over&over again&again&again then goes to sleep is already asleep has always been. If the dog watches the ball bounce by and breathes- another more beautiful ball will bounce by and the dog watches and breathes more amazing secrets will reveal to the one who no longer wants to own but understand. The hunter must be so still for even hunger will give away their presence to their quarry- especially when it is their own reflection they hunt which will change right before the astonished eye. This is how Siddhartha found the Buddha within. a weakness of loneliness grows into the strength of total aloneness then you are everyone. What is the sound of one hand clapping?- When the observer and the ... become ... !
I lear it as a child. because i had bad dreams so one time i just turn my bad dreams in to comedy) thats how i learn it. All you have to do is ask question am i dreaming. Its still alot to find
Where are the techniques?
click bate!
bait...
i guess one single technique described ... don't be afraid of what you experience in your dreams if you want to get further in the world of lucid dreams ;)
I think he is describing techniques to use while lucid dreaming, not techniques to begin to lucid dream.
Many if you actually listened properly, no offence when i say so but perhaps an aware open mind instead of the hive mind most are not aware they have to not be able to hear like others do...it may be simple with a 1. do this approach 2. and so on, but really just listen like you know you can and you will hear much advice:):)
Much peace fellow earthlings.
YES YES YES!!!!!. I found myself in this space that seem "empty" of everything. However I noticed that I didn't seem to have a body. It dawned on me that I was pure consciousness. I was so blissfully happy that it felt like an explosion of the heart chakra...but I had no form...I had the thought...."maybe this is what the Buddhist call Emptiness!" I seemed to be in this black Void (for lack of a better word) that was empty of every form but totally filled...with unconditional LOVE!!! I have never felt Love at this level before! I found myself traveling all over the place. It felt like I (my consciousness ) was moving very quickly....and then I began to see tiny white lights. Spirits? angels? orbs? I didn't want to return...but I did....
Hey, how's your lucid dreaming still going ?
wow, I really enjoyed this talk, thank you for sharing
I had vivid lucid dreaming for 8 years. spanning from first puberty til age 22. it was accompanied by 2 times Astral projection, lucid/night terrors/sleep paralysis. a few years back, I discovered a none visual dream that lasted 15 minutes but it seemed to last for a few hours. someone spoke Latin there. I have never learned Latin. And just 3 days ago, had a recent lucid, about a upcoming rainstorm. I don't watch TV or news. it maybe a coincidence, but later that day, it started to light rain.
it accompanied a long list of connective lucid dreams. I'm 41 yrs old.
between ages 31 to 40, I've had odd lucid ones. is dream stories
I regularly have (non-lucid) prophetic dreams. Usually some insignificant minutiae from next day. (I was completely unaware of this until I started keeping a dream journal.)
El Pastro sweeping statements with no evidence. Hmm
Its come full circle - here's a man at the top of his craft Scientifically speaking and he's telling us the same thing the Shamans, Llama's, Sufi's and mystics have for generations! This* day is many things its also very beautiful!
Do you know anymore about dream spinning?
@@ChrisJoHart_Psychic He goes into it in great detail in his book. The challenge is further upstream though for most people - myself included, I think. If you are stabilizing then yours should be an easy challenge.
@@Kobe29261 Thanks very much - Ill buy it. I am still like trapped in a spinning hall - I must try to get out and onwards and up. there should be a guide and I hope this book is it.
@@ChrisJoHart_Psychic If you are going to, read both books, the second one is more bolts and nuts. Then read Robert Wagonner - he takes it to the next logical step. Also check out Wagonners videos on TH-cam
@@Kobe29261 thankyou. I'll do that right now.
I love this explanation. This is so incredibly deep, it’s inspiring and captivating. Shadow work. NOW I get it 🤯
Lucid dream seems a projection, how to transfer directly to OBE?
looks like he hasnt been sleeping
😂😂😂
+Jordan Fleming
Well, he is 68 years old in this video. =P
That's because he's *AWAKE* when he's "sleeping"
+TexasElite 13
People are always "awake" when they sleep, because dreams are by definition conscious experiences.
Laurelindo so are you agreeing or disagreeing with me ?
I have read both of his books. They were both coherent, Listening to him now I consider his is losing it. Heading towards a mental break down.
I feel like its gotta have some affect on your psyche to have the kind of awareness and knowledge he does and not channel it correctly. like yes hes published extremely well written books and made massive amounts of progesss in the study dreaming, but i feel like hes gotten really caught up in the loop of the meaning of everything, life, consciouness, our roles in existence, etc.. idk i could be wrong. its just like when you meet someone who has all this awarness of consciousness than most peope do they tend to get alil kooky from searching for more and more answers and understanding if they go too far with it
i hope that made sense lol im half asleep typing this
Or maybe it just seems kooky because we
Don’t quite “understand” on that level.
I think he is on to something. Whether it is that way, we don’t know. But the snowflake/water analogy, seems reasonable. He is exploring what we all go seeking at some point.
He can ponder these things and remain scientific. I don’t understand that other comment up there about his two books.
He isn’t turning away from his work. His research. Idk
Hey i was wondering how come when i can control my dream that im still limited to my abilities? I mean i can fly, lift cars and control things but yet when i want to shoot energy beams from my hands or lasers from my eyes i can't? I can manipulate people and morph into anything in my dreams yet i cannot shoot a kamehameha blast like Goku?
Sounds like what Jung said in his Archytype and Collective Unconsciousness.The Mandara thing...
Love this, Charley Morley talks about lucid dreaming as training for the after-death bardo state. I make videos on how to lucid dream on this channel and my favorite way to do it is the WILD (wake initiated lucid dream) way. Meditating into the dream from the conscious awake state and witnessing all the beautiful hypnagogic colors. Also, reality checks throughout the day can help for becoming aware within an already existing dream which I just made a video on a few weeks ago :)
I had a question if someone could answer. For categorizing dreamsigns, in any given dream dream sign, do you only list it once for all the times something weird happens like for example inner awareness. Every time I have weird thought or feeling in a given dream, do I just list it once or once for every weird thought or feeling in that dream?
I had a fight with Darth Vader last night. Trust me... he is - I am... relentless
love your book Stephen! ;)
And the techniques? It was all very interesting. But techniques? Where are they?
His books.
Going to try this
If I get attacked by a monster of some sort in a dream, I usually start Lucid dreaming and beat it
up myself. Whether its with some neat power or my bare hands, I always win.
Make friends, no more monsters!
There is a technique i have used where when being chased I would consciously turn and around as ask, “what gift have you for me?” I read of it, I believe it’s American Indian, but whatever it is, it works. Once you ask the question, something fantastical happens. I recommend remembering this when uncomfortable in a dream.
@@CynthiaGladstone Hey, how's your lucid dreaming still going ?
GAURAV PATEL I delightfully stabbed a monster pResident with a feather. It was so fun. Hot air came out & it blew away.
GAURAV PATEL I now realize you are serious so the answer is this, when I was studying Dreams and in particular prompting in Ann Farady’s book, I was able to regularly access & participate in my dreams. Now I remember and believe I interpret my dreams but don’t change them so often unless I really don’t want to be there. How about you?
This guy is so cool! Carl Jung would have loved him!
i get what hes saying about the demons... but ive ran into weird figures that were literally waiting for me on the other side of sleep....but i guess i never found out if they were bad or not...but i felt like they were going to steal my soul for some reason.
I like how he put Police in the category of "Undesirables" lol.
Technically you don't ever want to be dealing with the police either ways lol
Dude i saw a dream where i got busted which lead me to discover these vids because it felt realer than real and when i woke up i felt blissed
Any of you guys have any tips? I have been trying for 3 years, gave up for a while and tried again a few months ago and gave up yet again. I have no idea what I did wrong or how I should do it. So someone please help me
this title is extremely misleading though. this has nothing to do with techniques.... maybe he went on a rampage and you never got the answer lol, but why say the video is about lucid dreaming techniques when its not?
Where's the technique? Is this an infomercial?
I need the drug this guy takes. It's free but requires practice. I can relate to all which he speaks of. Damn! I could listen to him all day!
How I learned was tales from the crypt character haunted me until one day I confronted him and told him how it was... ever since I could control my dreams
Acceptance... great nugget
I still wine of his original working Nova Dreamers
Cuando no vivas en la confusión de la ilusión colectiva e indeterminada, luego empezarás a saber, … quien eres tu
Tu voz Interior, siempre estuvo ahí
Siempre que hables con una persona, oirás de ella, lo que ella dice, entonces que pretendes cuando hablas con alguien ?
Siempre que necesites de alguien, estarás sometido a sus razonamientos
Entonces sabiendo esto, porque buscas fuera aquello que está en ti, y que dices no saberlo ?
A fuera, las palabras son interminables, dentro de ti y en cada momento, solo hay una sola palabra, entonces, cuando la percibas, … Cógela, y Úsala
Can anyone help me?... i got visions of my past life sometime and like i did that again!!!! Which heppened in past allready!so what is this can anyone tell me?
Really nice. Thanks!
Oh Geez, I’ve left the comment here 6 years ago!
He looks like Dr Earnhardt from Far Cry 3
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that, lol.
+SkukS Wow you're right
+TheRubbaRazza :D:D
When he started talking about demons I was like Nup none of that thank you. 'Accept them and love them' hell no
+Lachie Wood I think the point is that the "demons" are just creations of your mind, that you yourself have created, and that by accepting and befriending them you kinda destroy them, or at least render them harmless. It's all just coming from you.
My lucid dreams feel like a computer virus--I am in the middle of flashes of random memories flashing flashing by--I can hear or seem them go by--and then see family or friends and detail of what i suspect they have lived already--their old trauma memories--and always somehow trying to run away from someone evil or bad trying to use my energy to fuel their existence. Other times my whole dreams are about keeping happy high vibrations to float from natural disasters or other dangers--I flat to safety and come down to danger and constantly trying to rise back up to a floating safe place! WHAT DO THIS MEAN? ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED> !
does he discuss about the techniques for lucid dreaming anywhere in the vlog?
after watching Inception I started researching what is LD
Looks like Jordan Peterson 20 years into the future
i read 2 books of him and i believe in lucid dreams and (parallel universe and all that stuff)
BUT. if he's honest - he must be really insane.
Lucid dreaming has been scientifically proven.
Thanks Stephen!
Those are hard techniques he's talking about.. When you aware that you are dreaming and the next thing is to meditate? Lol good luck with that. Thats not how you do it
When I try I don’t remember any dream but somebody around me has a nightmare “About Me” 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
I wonder if when I change the rhythm of my breathing in a lucid dreaming does it physically change or it is just a dream breathing:?
just dream breathing :)
I just think that was great facts don't worry about the haters the information u have shared is most true everone has there own view so by saying that do what u do if not in this living we shall meet in the next im on plantet k i am not able to give out the name its up to you to journey your way and if all is well we shall meet.may the forces be with u
Any1 can ID the music used in the beginning?
I don t analize or , , there is nothing to inteprete. I see e x a c t l y what is going on. For I am doing it. It s like I go to a 'night job'. Sometimes in the journey, I wonder if I will awaken before a particular task is complete. I When I 'awake', I am brought off task and returned to the present.
What is the age of Stephan Labege ?
about 69 y/o
Is it possible to dream within a dream and does your brain compute faster while dreaming?
I've had man dreams within dreams, but it's all on level of dream, not some kind of deeper dream state
+Jack Sperro what you are talking about is inception, and sadly it is not possible.
Akkebu not possible at this time. we may yet come up with something
+ASMR Problems No I don't think so, but it does seem as if time is slower in dreams, or more condensed. As far as a "dream within a dream" yes it's possible to have one, but NOT in the capacity that was in the movie Inception. What you are referring to, or at least the real life version of "a dream within a dream" is called a false awakening. Now that I think of it, i'll do a video/article on it :)
+ASMR Problems Read The Art of Dreaming by Carlos Castaneda. It will answer your questions.
Has your dream state changed since corona virus time period?
11:22 this is a plenum
From the age of about 8 ish ... I knew I could control my dreams.....I’m 48 now guess what .....I know when I. Dreaming and yes ... I can control them...and yes I know and feel my surroundings
and whats the benefit from it?
@@MrDoitfrombehind it’s cool to do
@@robotics4572 fair enough
Hmm. Not sure about accepting and inviting the demons.. Just because something is part of us it doesn't mean it's good.
hes saying embrace all aspects of yourself and dont have resistance towards the side of your psyche that isnt the most positive of attributes. like he said, the darker entities transformed into light beings once he accpeted them and learned from them
hehehe good one Stephen mulla nasrudin jeha :-)
I fucking love this guy.
Did you dream you were a wizard and could fly about??
why does he look like he has insomnia lol
⁉🍄Are you guys sure he's talking about lucid dreams and not psychedelics? Because shrooms produce exactly these effects without any efforts and sleepless nights.
I had this kind of experience :/
There's a lot of hand-work going on. It's distracting.
Holy Moly clearly, you're not Italian.
I luh you Stephen!!
"Monsters need love too" - my love life in four words...Hah!!
MILD is the best.But, I experienced sleep paralysis on the second day.
wow
i jell with this view of turning enemies to allies-the devils horns are but an incomplete halo- Das Energi- the book! My thorns are the opportunistic predatory world and the communication that lacks connection. Either too hot or too cold to be able to say " I'm so happy to be alive and to rise to this occasion- my Life."
damn though. The bags under his eyes!
Βάλτε κάποιος ελληνικούς υπότιτλους σε αυτά τα βίντεο ,πρόκειται για πολύ ενδιαφέρον θέμα.
i wonder if he's on shrooms.
He looks like he's lost so much sleep he probably doesn't even need shrooms to hallucinate anymore
just knowing the base of your mind is not equal to being a buddha guys. chill. you just know the direct, or secret or perfect technique however you wanna call it. then you have to stabilize yourself in it, and even after you are perfectly stable, you are still not a Buddha.
Dont fool your self with lucid dreams, it is whish-thinking.
Get a good nights sleep.
Your Eternal Body-structure is Not a toy.

What on earth is he talking about? hes just rambling on, get to the point, get a hold of yourself man!
I've yawned through three or four of these in the last fifteen minutes already. Seems to me no one who experiences them can explain it simply or coherently. But we all have 'lucid dreams' from time time, and in my experience these random type lucid dreams are a blend of fantasy, false memory and mind manipulation. Otherwise your subconscious becomes a virtual reality programme.
David Beard Well your in luck, check out a lad called Charley morely
I will Irish. Thank you.
I have read an entire book written by him about the same topic, and i understood everything he said perfectly. but i watched this video once and i haven't been able to figure out even one word he said here. so weird.
a gnostical technique;being boring on purpose to ward off boring people:-)
D r e a m s . Ha! The Hollywood people got time travel all wrong! I 'DreamJourney' to the past a n d the future and participate directly in the changing of it!!! All the time! I go, see me 'sleeping and during journey, sleep too.
Just wonderful, I have been researching "lucid dreaming 3 steps" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Nonictoria Zaniam Eradicator - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
he looks sleep deprived...
TOO much talk and zero techniques
