do we do this for you and for us I mean we we have for us let’s be honest mostly for us but then some for you we do it for all of us if you like it we’re doing it for you it’s like a family and us it’s like a commune yet this show is like a potato that we grow together and then we eat a little bit Nate a little bit way more than one potato because that wouldn’t go very far we make a potato together every single day and then give it a little a little bit of it we’re communists is basically what I’m saying and time to come out and say it and high in starch okay I thought what we’re saying I’ve been trying to get back into lucid dreaming link now we talked about this I don’t think it may have been on good morning or good morning she Lincoln the previous morning show we had which was essentially the same morning show that we have now but essentially if you don’t know lucid dreaming has become much more popular in the culture because of the movie Inception mmm but basically it means you recognize that you’re dreaming you know that you’re dreaming and then you begin to control the dreamscape and the things that happen in the dream a lot of kids can do it a lot of people can do it as kids they could fly and that kind of thing but then you lose that ability as an adult most often and so you have to become intentional about it so if you if you’re in and if you’re dreaming and you realize that you’re dreaming while you’re still dreaming and for example say something like Oh since I’m dreaming I might as well fly over this crop of soybeans soybeans are very proud dreams in my dreams yeah anyway it’s really interesting stuff and I’ve read a couple of books on it I’m just you know how I like to just read about random things and discuss them on good mythical morning so in that same tradition we’re gonna talk about that today because last night I had a lucid dream this is the second lucid dream I’ve had as an adult since I’ve been trying to induce lucid dreams now briefly what was the first one the first one was the first time I looked into lucid dreaming probably over a year ago and I was walking inside a house that was under construction which is for me for some reason is a common thing that I well what did you control oh I realized I was dreaming and I was like I got a fly and I started flying and then I got excited and I woke up which is actually very common for people who are beginning to lose a dream because you realize that you’re dreaming you get excited about it and then you wake yourself up with excitement which incidentally is exactly what happened last night I was dreaming and like many of my dreams linked you were there I think this all saw that we spend too much time together first of all but I guess we have to continue to make these potatoes to give them some of the potato that’s right that’s right and so could you could you lucid dream apatow potato factory that would be a horrible lucid dream but yeah I think you could probably be done I think that’s called a field by the way okay potato factory so in this particular lucid dream which was even shorter than the first lucid dream first of all the experts say the way that you induce a lucid dream and once you there’s a lot of things that you can do but one of the things you do is you just read about lucid dreaming before you go to sleep you just go to a website that talks about lucid dreaming you so it’s kind of on your mind and you’re more likely to do it and there’s some other things you can do like reality checks and I’m right this is an episode about lucid dreaming this is an episode about this dream and some other dreams I’ve had because so I was there and what happened a big part of dreaming is just journaling so I’ve got I’ve written these down so the first thing I only have to look at my dream journal to tell you what happened in this one mm-hmm I was talking to you I don’t remember where we were but I was talking to you having a conversation and I just thought to myself link this is a dream and I said it to you I said link this is a dream and that’s it link this is a dream and I got so excited I didn’t believe you I woke up now that was it I got to get to a place no no that’s not a lucid dream you didn’t control anything uh-huh no we’re not talking about dream control we’re talking about lucid dreaming loose just an awareness I know we’re nuts that you’re dreaming and that’s the first step to thing controlling your dreams so yeah I was about to do something I don’t know what it was but I I couldn’t get over the fact that I hadn’t realized I was dreaming and I’ve been thinking about it all day yesterday reading about it and thinking about it yeah and and and all of a sudden it happens and I get too excited but but you’re not blaming it on me I think it could have something to do with I mean should I remember it well first of all I journaled another dream that happened earlier last night again and this one actually starts with editing a video with link we are arguing about it this doesn’t have to be a dream I mean for real sad is this that I’m dreaming about editing a video with you and we’re arguing about it but what do we accomplish something because you could harness nut conclusion I leave and go to my parents house you stormed out like a little child yeah which is very telling when I realize then I realized that we I won is what you’re saying I won the argument I don’t know I just left well I think I thought it could be resolved later I think whoever ends up at their parents house sulking is the one who has lost the other don’t get to take credit for things that dream link does first of all you need to understand it wasn’t you it was dream it was a figment of my imagination it wasn’t really you well I’m glad to know that at least your perception of me and dream world is as a winner if you want to begin to take credit for things that dream link does I’ll read my dreams to you every morning it’s fine I don’t care it makes me feel better about yourself of course it’s great so in this one you apparently want some argument about a video that we’re editing I don’t remember what it was and you went to your pain I left sulking you went to my parents house at which point I realized that me and you have our final test at Harnett Central High School in 33 minutes the test that we have got to take in order to move on to the next stage of life so I had actually reverted back to high because you know we went to high school recently and get all the shows there you remember that high school research we visit that’s funny because I can tell you about my dream at an appropriate point well let me finish cuz this is I should have realized I was dreaming in this point but then I began to try to text you first of all we were editing that video at Jeremy Fisher’s house because I just had to go down the street to get to my house hmm weird note you were right there at Jeremy Fisher’s house but then I’m like I got a text link and tell him we’ve totally forgot about the final test in order to graduate high school classic and so I bring up the text field and I’m like in the to field I try to type link and I cannot do it it comes up at all these weird characters and I cannot get your name and I try like 20 times and I cannot get it first of all I in the reading of that about lucid dreaming I’ve learned that in dreams screams don’t make sense if you look at your watch if you look at your phone if you look in a mirror something will be wrong you won’t be able to do simple mathematics in a dream these are weird things that are all consistent across almost all people and so I should have realized when my phone was malfunctioning it’s such a to such a degree that I was dreaming but I didn’t I woke up in frustration just thinking about trying to text you but that could have if you if with proper training that would have been a trigger to then move it to lucid ation and then I would realize oh this is a dream I’m not in high school I don’t we don’t have a test let’s go do something awesome and nothing against you I probably wouldn’t have been editing a video with you if I could make a decision can I do that anyway you could I would fly at it like figure out how to like hover an editing suite that flies with you yeah that was pretty awesome I cuz cuz still engaging in work in dream world could could lead to solution is that otherwise would never have come to fruition that’s my goal my goal is to get to a place where I’m actually working while dreaming so I can just sleep during the day well really yeah I have it did I say that how about our dream so we’re gonna come into work and just both now well you have to because I’m in this you gotta continue to well I loved now yeah sure if I sleep during the day work nap and sleep during the night also but actually working the dreams all of my dreams are anxiety dreams I would I I would love to have a breakthrough in this area so that I can turn it you know when you wake up like you said I had you wake up and you can’t convince yourself that what you were so stressed out about isn’t true I had the classic dream too it was related to you know spoiler alert this this goth thing that we’re working on Oh which is coming out shortly and you know our friend who is our director on commercial Kings Daniel strange was in the dream and we were supposed to deliver the final which we have to deliver it yeah and I realized that we didn’t know it but that it was a musical presentation on a stage okay so we’ve been editing a video I guess but then when we show up it’s like oh no why are people doing these weird musical presentations and and now we have to do one of those with like and I tried to invent an instrument and get up there on stage no that’s oh my gosh I haven’t prepared any for this like a sitar and we have to do it right now it was more of like a flutist type it had a lots of holes in it and I was I guess I was kind of formulating it yeah you were dreamscape I was dreams came in it but I wasn’t lucid dream scape in it but it was all about just the anxiety of I don’t even know why I’m anxious about it cuz I feel good about it and you’ll see it before too because you want everyone to like it won’t everybody like it but I guess there’s so much pressure associated with what we do that maybe we could start to deal with that in dreams strangely that my dream is kinda related again you were there another one we are at the n-c-double-a could some sort of convention for the n-c-double-a this is the National Collegiate Athletic Association I think that’s what anyway it’s like college athletics in the u.s. uh-huh and so we are supposed to be giving a presentation to all of the people in the NCAA some really fancy place and we’re dressed up and we have to get up there and we’re supposed to do like something about sports humor right which we’re great at and so we’re in this group and we’re talking to these high up officials in the NCAA mm-hmm and I say to them we are the associate presidents of the gnash of the n-c-double-a that’s what I tell them and then I’m one guy who’s with us leans in it says yeah clicking clack division clicking clicking clack are the hosts of Car Talk on NPR but it was what it was for me it was clicking Clank sort of represented like internet or something it was it was almost like we were the the internet NCAA vice presidents or something inferiority and I had some inferiority about it cuz I’m like oh yeah we’ll just do things on the internet so we’re not as good so there was something eerie already there then Michael Jordan shows up and I’m talking with Michael Jordan and I asked him hey okay hey the basketball player I’m like I’m from North Carolina I’m gonna went to NC State that’s cool can I get a picture with you and he looks at me says man you don’t need a picture with me really yeah I couldn’t even get a picture with Michael Jordan he said but he said you didn’t need one like you’re like no no but you know he’s Michael doing this kind of a notorious jerk it was more everybody I don’t know need a picture with you is what Michael was saying you don’t need a picture with me man I was so disappointed as so many disappointing things happens like a Jedi mind trick you need no picture with me yeah so anyway I’m gonna continue to try to lucid dream and I’m gonna continue to try to have better dreams maybe link will come on board and have good dreams also and I’m really spun that I’m already on board but I in your dreams I just need to cry on my own yeah yeah your own that’s a separate dream life we just need to get to a point where we can have dreams that we’re not in each other’s dream or can you not be in your own drink yeah yeah that’s like an observer kind of thing sarcastic ending for this episode of good mythical morning this is it has been so awesome that you guys have joined us for yeah hi you know I think it’s great that you decide to watch this I mean I’m sure you’re getting a lot out of it yeah I mean terms of entertainment I’m sure there’s absolutely nothing else that you could be doing right now than watching a couple of guys just talk that’s like 10 to 12 minutes every day ah come on gang you you you don’t feel like a loser no not at all neither do we you know we should you know at some point we should probably end this but you know what that would be too satisfying probably yeah we shouldn’t do that yes I’m not gonna end it I’m just gonna keep talking like this to you sarcastic remark into year until you feel the way that you should feel about yourself another sarcastic remark here [Music]
