Welcome to (weirdly) the only complete and accurate MILD tutorial on UKposts... (and thanks to M my bed partner, for appearing in the video... M... Boney M)

One thing I always tell myself to remember is "I am in bed, going to sleep". So the very next moment I find myself out doing something (school, driving, pacing around) I can stop myself and think "wait, this isn't possible because I LITERALLY just laid down to go to bed." and that is when the lucid dream becomes unlocked. I usually use this technique when I'm taking a nap during the day or during the wake back to bed thing in the mornings cuz its way easier during these times due to the mind being more awake.

Step 1: Set the intention- After getting in bed, tell yourself that you’re going to wake up and recall your dreams. Step 2: If you wake up in the night and remember a dream, try to recall the details. If drowsy, do something to wake up a little. Step 3: Then go back to sleeping but first tell yourself that you’re going to recognise that you’re dreaming. Focus on this intention, eg like going to the shop to buy something. Step 4: Combine focusing on the intention while reimagining the dream as if you realised you were dreaming. Step 5: Repeat steps 3&4 to solidify the intention then allow yourself to drift into sleep

I just realised I've been doing this wrong for weeks. Tonight will be the first night i try this for real. Until now, I was struggling to fall asleep while trying to repeat a mantra, constantly drifting off, not even imagining my previous dream and not setting the intention. This HELPS SO MUCH, THANK YOU

So glad I don't have to give myself insomnia to lucid dream. I couldn't sleep for 3 hours last night just repeating a mantra!

MILD works great when done properly. Sometimes my mind is too tired to lock in that intention properly, but I've had great success when I get it right. First time I heard of it, it was presented as a mantra. All that did was give me insomnia.

I got close last night using MILD I fell asleep, woke up around 3:30 AM, remembered what I was dreaming about, spent 10 minutes scrolling my phone to be less drowsy and more alert, then I went back to bed while repeating "I will lucid dream tonight" in my head. What actually ended up happening though is that I had a dream where I was recollecting other dreams I've had. I figure I was really close because thinking about dreaming while you are dreaming is exactly what you want. I just forgot to do a reality check.

I never had success with MILD, because I was taught it’s only about visualizing a dream scene and repeating a mantra until falling asleep… only gave me insomnia. Very glad I came across your video, the buying milk example made it click for me! Tried this today after hitting the snooze button in the morning, I had a semi-lucid dream and a realistic false awakening. I have high hopes for this, thank you!

Great post! Thanks for clearing up this technique with a very clear set of instructions! I’ve always found other descriptions of MILD to be a bit vague! Well done!

I’ll have to watch this properly later, but here’s a comment and a watch for the algorithm.

Thanks for this, great stuff!

Great video! Loved the new style to it, really funny and an informative video!

These videos are so well made, you really deserve way more subscribers. I’ve slowly been watching all of the videos that have been posted and it looks like a lot of effort had been put into them. I love them!

Well, I'm back home now from golfing and this video was very entertaining! I was sitting here giggling a bit (especially at the milk part due to how "going out to get milk" has become a meme now). Heck, it even got me to take my mind off of a very subtle headache I have! I never have really known what MILD was, only that it was a technique. Sure, I knew what it meant and roughly a bit of what it was, but I had never really paid attention to it as I have developed a distrust to anything "ILD." A second watch through may be good but I think I've done this without knowing at least twice successfully (maybe more but two occurrences at the top of my head at the moment). I'll have to try it out for sure! Great and entertaining video Mr. Portal Man (you still run the Portal channel so technically I can still say that)! Even though the time through me off a bit (and slight worrying about it), it was still fun to watch in after I got done sporting. Can't wait for the future and livestream tomorrow!

I like this new format of the videos, funny, fast paced and the most important thing i feel that you dont repeat yourself that much, thats one of the reason i couldnt watch your howmany days lucid dreaming videos guide.

I'd love to lucid dream using this technique. I'm admittedly too lazy for it . Seems a lot of effort and attention I don't have for that waking situation . I remember reading it in the mentioned book by laberge. Love your book by the way , it's definately the best book I've found on the subject.

Great video!

I just started reading Exploring the world of lucid dreaming today! I did use the command step as a mantra once, and it gave me WILD. But I have no illusions that it would work always, focusing on the sentence 'I want gruyère cheese' would probably have worked in that moment.

Hey Daniel I really liked the quality of your videos and you really deserve a really big public

I love you lucid dream portal i have being lucid dreaming for 1 year now and im sick and tired of seeing the fake MILD we love you and your vids.

i cant tell you how much you helped me. i love your videos. Actually everyone loves your videos

Great video, Daniel! I like the new style of your videos, I think it will attract a larger audience to you content. MILD is my personal favourite technique, and I can usually squeeze multiple lucid dreams per week out of it .

ugh I need to get on the lucid dreaming trend again. it's funny because I looked at my own dream journal. the dreams that I was lucid. I remember picture perfect. while the non lucid is like someone describing your black out journey 🤣

Thank you

This is a very good video and I'm glad that there are creators like you to seperate the good from the bad and actually put in the research. I just have one question about step 2, I don't usually wake up during the night so would I have to set an alarm or am I misunderstanding the technique?

I recently bought LaBerge's book and getting ready to read it (and learn that technique from original book). I am also amused also that LaBerge for the rist time described HIT technique for WILD

Thank you Daniel!! I watched this video right before going to bed, and set an intention to wake up during my dream at night (having doubts but shaking them off), then slept only to wake up about 3-4 hours later, which is very unusual for me!! I was so excited that it worked, but I kept my calm and focused on affirming that next time I drift back to sleep, I’ll remember I’m dreaming while replaying the last thing I remember from my dream in my mind. As soon as I started dreaming again, I REALIZED I WAS DREAMING RIGHT AWAY!! I actually couldn’t keep calm and woke up, like I usually do. But I didn’t give up. I repeated the same thing I did when I woke up earlier, re-entered the dream, then I started spinning around to stabilize the dream… and it worked too! I kept my calm, and instead of doing anything crazy like flying or something (again, like I usually do), I observed my surroundings and started making small changes to it (mainly re-coloring the walls and furniture)… Only to think I woke up while I was still dreaming 🥲 A part of my subconscious wanted to do a reality check, but I was so convinced I was awake I shook it off until I actually woke up. I’m so happy and excited to attempt this again tonight!! Thanks a bunch!! 🫶

Wow man i have been trying to get back into lucid dreaming for a long time with the sort of mantra style mild id always learned, and never had any luck. But i tried your technique and day 1 i became lucid. Thanks so much!

You are funny! Made me laugh when you interacted with your lovely partner! 😂 I like that they wear glasses to sleep, presumably to see the dreams clearly.

I'll try this tonight

Hopefully this video can get to be pretty influential on the lucid dreaming community

1:44 I got that book March 14th 2023 and ever sense I got it it helped me a lot.

The most important with licid dreaming is balance. Dont be too focused and concentrated but not totally unfocused either

thank you

I did Mild yesterday…. AND I LUCID DREAMED 😍😍😍 gonna try tonight as well

Hi Daniel ☺️ I like your new style very much - looks like you're having a lot of fun! I'm curious to know whether this method works to return to a lucid dream? If, for example one wakes from an LD early enough in the night and there's time to go back and get lucid again, is this how you would do it?

New to your channel! I will start watching a lot of your Lucid Dreaming videos! :)

Daniel in step 2 when I wake up in middle of night and recall dream ,should I write in dream journal?

You should make a similar video for the WILD technique, this new type of content of yours is funny af 😂

Nice and digestible breakdown. Good show, and give me regard to the missus. Though I think she could use some sun, she looks a bit pale.

For me when i was full into lucid dreaming the technique that worked for me was the finger induced lucid dreaming, it's really strange but tapping my fingers worked for me.

You have the book? yeah that's fire 👌👌

Thank you for noting the difference between mantra use and intention. I’ve just been wrecking my sleep with staying alert and focused on a mantra…😐

Hii hru daniel I've really grateful for your vids , a week ago I had my first lucid dream and it was awesome , but just a question , since I had my first LD does it mean that I can get another easier

Good video

I have problems with WBTB, because I am always extremly tired the next day and I can't always take an extra nap the next day. Can you tell me, what I can do instead to increase my chance of a lucid dream.

Thanks!

what if you don't ever wake up during the night, but you do remember very specific weird dreams you've had? could you use that the first time you fall asleep instead of hoping you wake up and remember your dream?

heres a important question i need answered please: i still remember the dream i had last night and i know whats weird of it, could i use that dream to use the mild technique? or can i only use the mild technique in a fresh dream when i wake up , recall it and do mild?

I'm planning on combining this with wake back to bed tonight

Should i try setting the intention to wake up?

The only channel that has told the true procedure .... The other channels tell you to chant the "MANTRA"

Daniel I use to be able to remember my in a great detail and vividly for weeks on until one day I stopped remembering my dreams do you have any general ideas on what might cause this

great video Daniel but one thing I wonder is is it possible to combine Mild with WBTB ?

Hi need a piece of advice. When I allow myself to sink into sleep to the point that my head and body feels crazy tingly or itchy and I first catch the first images of my dream, my (previously made)inentions instantly set in and knock those images away? But to sleep without allowing myself to hold those intentions to lucid dream i can get into sleep in the same amount of time as me getting rid of the images. I’ve meditated in the past so I have a good idea on what it means to focus on the body and breathing but I’m guessing I still have too much activity going on in my brain?

Everytime I wake up in the middle of the night I have trouble falling asleep again is that normal, because when I dont remember my dream I try to do wild.

So you need to wake up first? How long should I set my alarm for?

Mnemonic!

Hello! I tried this last night and I woke up using the "mental alarm", which was really cool as usually I try to wake up in the middle of the night using an alarm, and it was very nice and surprising when I woke up this way. However, when I woke up, I couldn't remember the dream that I was having. What should I do in this situation? Think of a dream that i've had in the past?

This may sound weird but could you do step 3 and 4 throughout the day. I'm at work tonight I could try sit down and think 🤔 Never tried mild and Iv started doing it for a couple days now....feel quite silly that iv never encorporated it into practise 😅😅 Great video as always and I want a skeleton now....I bet I dream about one!!

So I've been trying mild for a few days now, and I'm just wondering how long should it take to have my first lucid dream? I know I need to be patient, but I'm just curious. I do around 10 reality checks a day, sometimes more.

Excellent video! What advice would you give to make the best use of a failed MILD? For me it often goes that I set my intention to "wake up and recall" then I always wake up around 5 hours later, but often can't recall anything. Obviously then can't complete the next steps... rather than give up at that point as I'm already awake, what else might a beginner then attempt? Maybe a SSILD?

so in the first step when you tell yourself that your gonna wake up and be able to recall your dreams in the night, it’s not a mantra right like i don’t have to repeat it over and over?

Whenever I try a wild technique I experience a lot of hypnagogia and it’s very intense. I kind of enter a trance and that’s the only thing I experience I’ve been able to do it for hours and not go into a dream. Do you have any tips on what I should do?

3:40 does he mean picture yourself in that dream and re imagine it as if it was a lucid dream?

Keanu reeves 😂

Can you do wild at the start of going to sleep so you dont do wbtb

Can I wake up with an alarm, or does it have to be natural?

I think I’m too dumb for lucid dreaming. My brain is always foggy and trying to focus on 1 thing or imagining 1 thing is almost impossible because there are all these other thoughts, images and memories I can’t repress😢

Why did it become so confused lol. They all have it down as a mantra . Mantras have never worked for me . They probably work for other people but they just become words without feeling or intent

I tried to lucid dream for about 10 days and yesterday I tried your tutorial. I woke up at 5am and I repeated step 3 and 4 but i couldnt sleep in anymore and i just stayed awake in bed. Did I do something wrong?

I don't really care about what the book says. What is the technique used in scientific settings when they conduct studies on lucid dreaming inductions? What is the most effective method.

I think I've been doing this accidentally whe taking naps.

Wont all the waking up and disruptions in the night decrease the quality of sleep, and overall make you feel worse in the mornings?

Dude the NPCS in lucid dreams are really trash, they don't even answer my questions. I hope the Devs fix the NPCS in the next update.

what if you dont wake up in the middle of the night?

The interesting thing with this technique is that not everyone wakes up in the middle of the night and recalls a dream. Some just wake up after sleeping a full night and can recall some dreams.

And here we see a lucid dreamer in the wild… buying milk… for a video. Great video, informative and funny!

Looks like I've got a new book to read. Thanks for the weird-skeleton-in-bed reality check.

I had a false awakening once

What if I don’t just wake up at night?

What if we don't wake up in the night?

I've watched this video now for the 5th time and i still don't know

2:04 testing skills from this video ukposts.infogiDQUHC9Tko

So I watched your video right before I went to bed and I dreamt of your skeleton gf. Thanks for that 😂😁

Comment for Bob right now because I'm in a golf tournament. I'll see you guys in about 3 1/2 hours!

I hope im not crazy

omg this is first time i had a lucid dream

Your girlfriend has destructed me😅😅

p sure everyone knows keanu reeves

It's possible to practice MILD without the need of waking up?

So complicated.. Maybe I'll stay with basic sleep

3:09 jokes on you! I have to do that ‘cause my ADHD riddled ass will forget 🥲

This is prospective memory correct? @LucidDreanPortal.

So sleep really is the little Death in your house, huh? Interesting bedfellow. Last year, I tried MILD many times, but to no avail. I'll give it another try!
