Alright, what's up guys? Today I've got a bit of a different video for you. It's going to be another technique video. In this video you're going to learn how to induce a lucid dream in 9 seconds. Whatever you're currently doing, put it away, just pause it for a second. This won't take long. I'll try and keep it as brief as possible. By the end you'll know how to induce a lucid dream using the finger in a lucid dream technique called a Filed. You may have seen my blog post on howtolucid.com about this. It's going to be slightly different. I'm going to explain, I'm going to actually use a little prop. I'm going to use my keyboard to show you something. The technique essentially involves using your focus on your fingers and specifically the movement of your fingers. We're getting to that in a second to guide yourself into a lucid dream. Like most lucid dreaming techniques, this is going to be done during REM sleep. What you're going to need to do firstly is find a day when you don't really need to be up for anything in particular, maybe the weekend, for example. Set your alarm for 4am. 3am to 4am. At this time, this is when you're going to do the technique. Just bear that in mind. The Filed technique, the finger intrusive lucid dream technique, what you're going to do is you're going to practice this before you actually try and go to sleep. During the day, now, for example, you're going to practice what I'm about to tell you. Put your hand on a flat surface, probably a desk or the floor or something like that. Move these two fingers. You're going to move them up and down like this as if you're playing a piano and you're sort of alternating between two notes. Go ahead and try that. Once you've got used to the motion, you've got used to the feeling of that, you're going to do it again. Pretend this is like a desk or something. You're going to do it again. This is the first time you do it. When you've got used to that motion, you're going to do it even small emotions like this. Then you're going to imagine moving the fingers without actually moving them. You're going to just contract. If you can see that, just contract the muscle enough to move the finger and then go one step lower than that. You're literally just almost like you're just thinking about moving your fingers as opposed to actually moving them. A really good way to practice this, and use my little prop keyboard here, is find two keys on the keyboard and I'm not sure if you're going to be able to see this clearly in here. Try and make it clear. When you press down on a key, you notice that there's a certain... You can press the key without actually pressing it down and typing the letter. This is a good way to practice the pressure you're going to need. Just lightly press the key like this. I actually pressed it then, but just press it just enough to make the key dip down a little bit without pressing the key. This will get used to the amount of force you actually need to use, which is hardly any. The way this works is that you're going to be focusing your mind on the action of moving your fingers when you wake up in the morning and try this. That focus will guide you straight into a little dream and it will happen really fast. It will happen within five to twenty seconds. Now that you've practiced that and you've got you to the motion, remember, you're not actually moving your muscles that much, if at all. You're just thinking about it and concentrating on alternating between two fingers. Practice doing that while laying down without moving any other muscles. You're not even moving the muscles really, but just focusing on those muscles particularly. You will have set your alarm. You wake up before I am. You do exactly the same thing. You lay there. If you move any muscles, it will probably work and you have to dry again. You just focus purely on the movement of your fingers. What will happen if it works within about five seconds, you will be in a dream. Therefore, you need to do a reality check. This is an important step. This is where a lot of people get mixed up and don't really get there with this technique. Once you've done the thing and movement before you, that sounds really dodgy. Once you've done that, you're not going to count the seconds, but roughly when you feel it's been about twenty or thirty seconds, you're going to do a reality check. If you do a reality check and obviously you're in a dream, then you're going to lose a dreaming and you can go ahead and do whatever you want. If you do the reality check and you're not dreaming, the technique hasn't worked and this is important, you need to try again in an hour. You can't keep trying. If you keep trying non-stop after the first time didn't work, you're just going to become more and more awake and it won't work at all. It will be very frustrating. There's no point wasting your time. If it didn't work the first time, that's fine. You'll be tired anyway, hopefully, at 4am. Just set your alarm for an hour's time and try the exact same thing again in an hour. I think that it pretty much covers everything. I had to pause the video to try and think about what to tell you then. That's the technique. The finger inducing dream is really good for beginners because this technique tends to have the same effect no matter how long you've been practicing it. You could be doing this technique for a year and still have the same results. It would still work. Whereas some techniques tend to be hard at the beginning and then they get slowly easier, some of the other way around. They sort of, they're effects, tape or off the more you use them. This is a really good technique for an all round lucid dream experience. Good luck with that. I hope you get it to work for you. It worked for me. Almost first time I had to try, I think, on the second time it worked. Then, since then, whenever I want, it just sort of works. It's a really good technique. Go ahead and check out the blog post.
