I’m so glad you came back to Lucid Dreaming tutorials my guy I first found your videos around 7 years ago and actually talk about you in my first book about awakening
I haven't even attempted to have a lucid dream in like 10 years. Woke up in the night last night and decided to try this. I fell asleep and became lucid on the first set of stairs I was so tired 😂 Super effective. Just need a better method to stay in the dream when things start going weird
I also wanna add some additional context since I was quoted in the video. I'm not at *all* a proficient Lucid Dreamer, I straight up suck at it (which is ironic considering I've been subscribed to Giz for a decade now) and this still worked for me in the little success I've had. And if you're curious the other two were because of FILD which is a very similar technique to this one (very mundane task).
@@5thkiechannel I haven't tried very much since to be perfectly honest but whenever I do I absolutely find more success doing them. Personally I like FILD more but that's just a preference thing.
I tried the stair technique. It was working up to a point then stopped, and I'll tell you why. I started this laying on my back. You said you do the same but you don't know why. It's because laying on your back works, and this is where I started without thinking of this. I didn't visualize everytime walking up the stairs, but whenever the number 10 happened I did the reality check. This happened a for awhile, so I lengthened the count between reality checks. At times l have synchronized the breath and the counting while I have been cycling between seeing hypnagogia, anchored by the sound of the clock, and the feeling of the sensations around me. So I have been on the fence between waking and dreaming, but not quite there yet. Where I think the I made a bad decision was to shift positions from laying on my back to my side thinking that I would lucidly drift to dreamland. Not this time... The way I normally sleep on my side pins both arms, so being able to continue the reality checks was not possible, and it was at this point where the senses quickly faded and non-lucid sleep occurred. I will be trying this again next week so that I have time to record any dreams at length. It's difficult now since I have a full time job. Thank you for your time and patience in reading this, and thank you Giz for sharing this. I wish you, and anyone reading this, a wonderful day. Even in the midst of chaos, these troubling times we live in, may you be calm at heart. Like the eye of the storm... 😊
That's how I was successful the first time but without the pinching nose method and the stairs were going down. Or you can feel being in an elevator. I did it after a WBTB, laid down on the back is necessary to create a small disconfort. It's necessary because it's going to help you to wake up as soon as you fall asleep. So i fell asleep for a sec a few times and after like 2 or 3 times i woke up in sleep paralysis, seeing and hearing things in my bed. Then i tried the rope technique and ended up in my childhood street like i wished for.
I remember watching your videos back in 2015. The algorithm seems to be quite harsh on you, because despite being subbed to you, I only re-discovered you right now.
@@Tristannn- no sadly i haven't gotten it to work again yet but it worked really well the first time it feels like you rise upwards into the dream for me it could be different for you
Hello Giz, I’m watching your videos every night before going to bed. I still haven’t mastered lucid dreaming but I have some lucid dreams once in a while, I did this while journaling and doing reality checks and I’m open to learning different techniques to becoming lucid. Honestly I started being interested in lucid dreaming around age 11 and your videos are always helpful and sometimes fun. But for some reason when I find out I’m Lucid in my dream and start flying , after a while everything turns black like not everything can spawn so quickly in my imagination
@@hatchinghumor Alright it works amazingly, but not every time. I do not try to breathe through my nose or anything, I just gently wiggle my fingers while counting if i have more or less than 5 to tell if im in a dream. I did manage to get into a lucid dream, combining this with wake back to bed, but the dream didnt actually last too long, I think I got excited and woke up. I recommend trying this, and thanks for reminding me haha
I got a way, to not move your physical body to do rc. You can just use your mind to move your body part, that means think about moving your hand for example and if its a dream your dream body will respond to it.
yes in february i had 5-6 WILDs (which were my first ones) and i achieved some of them with this exact method kinda simulating in my mind the sensation of performing a reality test (nose pinch) and at some point when the dream was starting to come together in its form the movement of the arm suddenly felt real and the reality test worked so i found myself in the dream already lucid
Man it's been a while since I've lucid dreamed. Years, even. I used to keep a dream journal and do regular reality checks, but ever since I fell out of habit I've just not been able to discipline myself to do it again. I'll try this tomorrow night! I've been wanting to get back into it!
Ah, another visualization technique, damn you aphantasia! I guess I'll give it a shot eventually, maybe just the intention will be enough for this one.
@@sheetalheena I'll definitely try that, after all, WILD techniques always depend on an anchor, as long as I have something to focus on it should work out eventually.
This sound really good. A combination of the counting technique with visualization with the added benefit that this should be easier to pull through and the transition should be much easier.
Would this work in a deep meditation to induce an "astral" projection? I'm always afraid to move when in a deep meditation because I'm afraid itll wake me up again?
I'll try this one tonight, usually, i do kinda the same but imagine walking out of my bedroom to my art studio, pinching my nose etc.. going back to my bedroom, doing the same, and back to my art studio etc.. but it's been a long time and i really have trouble walking lmao, the rhythm is quite difficult to get so maybe the stairs are easier
@@Tristannn- i had difficulties when "watching" myself doing it , i always have difficulties for this, even imagining myself walking, i start to see myself but from behind not in fps lmao ,in 3nd pers. Point of view you know
@@Tristannn- yeahh lmao i know but i didn't have any other way to say it😂 But yeah, i really need to be in full darkness in my room and no noise to be focused on this, and same as for giz, the nose pinching technique is my favourite!! When you actually can breathe through it it's..gooosh amazing lmaoo😂
@@AntOninPortequoi So true dude, pinching your nose is so much better than counting fingers because in dreams I struggle to count lol. its really cool to breath while pinching my nose
That's what I was thinking. I was doing it last night and having to pinch my nose each time forced me to wake up. I guess you'll eventually get so tired you'll be doing it in your sleep because you can no longer do it while awake.
@@Tristannn- It only happened one time, when I was drifting in and out of sleep, and I wasn't even expecting it to work. After about half a minute of imagining myself walking up a flight of stairs, I suddenly realized I was in a dream, without noticing that I had transitioned.
How do we stay focused when I do it ,I forget my self and sleep and wake up the next morning.pls help focusing on my breath is also not working I just forget myself and sleep😭
Very Easy and simple. Thanks this was very effective and worked. Thanks :)
I’m so glad you came back to Lucid Dreaming tutorials my guy I first found your videos around 7 years ago and actually talk about you in my first book about awakening
When the multiplayer patch is rolled out , it’s just going to be a big orgy
I think I'm ok with that
Some things wrong I woke up on a escalator
Tried this literally after watching this video. Worked like a charm and I had a WILD.
Thanks!

Thank you, your video came out at just the right time. I tried it last night and actually had one of my best lucid dreams yet.
A little boom boom boom????
Thanks! I'm definitely going to try that. I've been struggling to be lucid for a few years and been looking for some straightforward method like this.
How did it work for you?
I'm so excited to try this tonight
did it work
gonna try this out.

This worked on my first try and it took only 17 steps (about 17 seconds) Thank you so much i wish I had known about this sooner
Has it worked again? And do you feel yourself fall into the dream state?
@@Tristannn- no sadly i haven't gotten it to work again yet but it worked really well the first time it feels like you rise upwards into the dream for me it could be different for you
@@loogloogloogr how many time have you tried it after the first time?
@@abrahamnava3772 only a few more times

I tend to have random lucid dreams throughout the night, never on purpose though. Gonna try this technique!
This is interesting. I feel that I will be trying this tonight. Thank you for sharing. ☮
actually gonna try this, thanks Giz!
I actually had a lucid dream on my first try!!!! Thanks, Giz!
@@borissman LETS GO
@@borissmanSame! It's great!
Hi, is this method still working for you?
I will try this tonight and come back sharing my results
So?
Results?
Trying this tonight. Will actually update unlike others here.
So, where's that update?

Dude it’s so worth it. It’s like sandbox/free roam mode but it feels like real life
Welp i tried it and I totally failed. I just ended up falling asleep. I guess I was a little *too* tired. I'll try again tonight.
@@Rage_WinterchiIl same. Tried it last night without WBTB. Failed too
aight ill give it a go, even tho my dream recall is rly bad but i am on track at bettering it so hopefully ill at least remember my dream!
Ah, another visualization technique, damn you aphantasia! I guess I'll give it a shot eventually, maybe just the intention will be enough for this one.
Instead of visualising, focus on your senses... So imagine and try to *feel* the feeling you'd feel in your legs as you're walking up the stairs.
@@sheetalheena I'll definitely try that, after all, WILD techniques always depend on an anchor, as long as I have something to focus on it should work out eventually.
This sound really good. A combination of the counting technique with visualization with the added benefit that this should be easier to pull through and the transition should be much easier.
Definitely gonna do this tonight/tmrw. Thank you!
will try it out tonight!
Did it work
I tried this last night it didn't work but I'll keep trying! I'll keep y'all updated if someone replys to this.
Anything happened yet...?
Groovy
I will try this tonight. Never heard of this technique and I'm really struggling to get any of them to work.
Would this work in a deep meditation to induce an "astral" projection? I'm always afraid to move when in a deep meditation because I'm afraid itll wake me up again?
you still going dude? used to watch you like 8 years ago
Best techniques
Been trying to lucid dream for over a decade now and only had one semi lucid. Hopefully this works
I'll try this one tonight, usually, i do kinda the same but imagine walking out of my bedroom to my art studio, pinching my nose etc.. going back to my bedroom, doing the same, and back to my art studio etc.. but it's been a long time and i really have trouble walking lmao, the rhythm is quite difficult to get so maybe the stairs are easier

@@AntOninPortequoi So true dude, pinching your nose is so much better than counting fingers because in dreams I struggle to count lol. its really cool to breath while pinching my nose
I’ve tried this but when I visualise I just end up seeing a bunch of stairs everywhere and there’s like sheep that I trip over and stuff 🤣
I'm dead at the visuals of this! 🤣🤣🤣
@@ldunn2 sometimes there’s even like confetti scattered around and blocking my vision. the struggle is real when it comes to adhd 😂
"Step two: you wake up in the middle of the night"
*me watching this in the middle of the night*
Task failed uncessefully
Sup giz I feel like if I keep moving my brain will know I'm awake wouldn't it be better to try to breathe with mouth closed through my mouth?
That's what I was thinking. I was doing it last night and having to pinch my nose each time forced me to wake up. I guess you'll eventually get so tired you'll be doing it in your sleep because you can no longer do it while awake.
I've used this method before!
How long does it take to go into a dream once you do this?
@@Tristannn- It only happened one time, when I was drifting in and out of sleep, and I wasn't even expecting it to work. After about half a minute of imagining myself walking up a flight of stairs, I suddenly realized I was in a dream, without noticing that I had transitioned.
5:39 CAT
When you say "pinch your nose," do you mean in real life, with your physical hand, or in the visualized scenario, with an imagined hand?
Real. After a while, you will fall asleep and realise that you can do it, and breathe through it. That is when you are in a dream.
@@GizEdwards Thank you for clearing it up!
How do we stay focused when I do it ,I forget my self and sleep and wake up the next morning.pls help focusing on my breath is also not working I just forget myself and sleep😭
I hope i will see you into psychonautism and Astral projection sometday
thought this was going to be about repeatedly climbing stairs before going to sleep
It’s not???
Huh.. just watched it... very interesting
@@5thkiechannel sadly, no.
I wonder what is the use of visualizing the stairs. You can just do the reality check every 10-20 seconds
what happened to you
Yo
Yo.
Make more videos😊
