What makes a story evoke strong emotions — wonder, kindness, nostalgia! — inside of you? I make videos that train the narrative eye. Here's some of my favourites:

I am confident I can make 90% of you here have your first lucid dream in less than 2 weeks, and your first fully controlled lucid dream (as in: you are the world and its god) in less than 2 months. AMA

Set up 12 alarms for yourself (soft sounds or vibration only, don't get startled), scattered throghout the day but not during difficult/uncomfortable hours When the alarms ring, raise your hands and look at them. Ask yourself: am I dreaming?

Ok, if you've never heard of this before, here's the basic steps I'll recommend: first and foremost: don't overthink it, don't overresearch it, don't overdo it - it's not about maximizing, it's about relaxing into a new habit 1/

@visakanv My first line of thought was to approach it as a personal request for help - as in "hey, something heavy happened, and I'd really like to talk to you in person. I know you're busy, but the sooner the better" Even the corrupt assistant would see no threat, I think

This technique is not special, it's rather known. It works with most people as long as you can cultivate enough curiosity to do it for a while before it really works You're allowed to play with it and treat it as ironically as you want, just avoid frustration

If looking at your hands is easy and normal, you're not dreaming. It takes 2 seconds. Get used to doing that many times, start to check without the alarms. Gradually deactivate the alarms
