Don't you just hate it when something good is about to happen in a dream and then you wake up? At least Yuuhi got to resume his dream the next night from where he left off. That literally never happens to me. T^T

He did the impossible. He left his check point lol

Same...

No no, it's totally doable to return to the same spot in a dream, I've done it plenty of times. Additionally, if you learn to lucid dream you don't have to rely on chance encounters, you can easily achieve/experience any scenario you want in your dreams. I can personally attest to this. Both of these things are possible through a bit of training during the hypnagogic state right before sleep and right after, though there are other methods if you have trouble accessing and utilizing that state.

Yeah you're right about this, at least I have picked up from the same spot of a dream numerous times, even some from years ago. Maybe it has something to do with the brains memory system or like you said, lucid dreaming. But I just find it weird that I can pick it up at the exact same time and recollect the events so well at the same time. I'm glad I'm not the only one that has had this happen to them.

No, you certainly aren't alone, and even by accident, most people achieve Lucid Dreaming at least a couple of time per year in the average lifetime, although they forget about it shortly after they wake up due to how the memories of dreams are stored. This is why it's important to keep a notepad next to your bed in order to write things down as soon as you wake up before they fade, by doing this you will get better at recalling and retaining the details of your dreams.

Beyond that, I can tell you an old trick is to take certain vitamins before bed, such as vitamin C,(there is a specific kind of vitamin C that should be used for best effect) which for some people can help increase the intensity and vividness ones dreams.

Training for Lucid dreaming itself isn't too different from certain deep meditations, the key is to keep the part of your brain responsible for it active while you sleep, though, these days, there are plenty of devices which are readily available for home use that use light and sound to carefully wake up/signal the brain just the right amount while one sleeps to induce the state of lucidity.
There is a ton more I could add to this, but I'll stop here before it becomes a documentary. XD

No no no, please continue, I personally don't mind all the reading and such. It does baffle me that lucid dreaming can happen, it just strikes me as bizarre. Like the brain is so complex and extraordinary. Not to mention it is quite amazing that you have knowledge on all this lucid dreaming facts. I do have to ask, do you study this in your free time, (no judgment if you do), or do you just read about this on sites? You just seem to know a vast variety of lucid dreaming skills and facts.

To answer your question, lucid dreaming and it's practice is an important part of Metaphysics and the application there of......I am a lifelong practitioner of the "Metaphysical arts" and have been working with them ever since I was very young.

Enough so as to use them in earning part of my income. People come to me for advice or counseling on how accomplish certain things, or seeking my aid in other ways....

I used to have an account called "TheOccultist" that I used to use for commenting on the hidden symbology and references in anime....BUT I quickly gained quite a number of down votes doing that, and I soon learned, people don't want to have certain things made known to them.

It was my own folly though, I was new to anime and excited by all the hidden references placed in anime right in front of everyone's noses and I wanted to be the "know it all" who understood everything.

Lol, I'm glad I no longer have that account as it occurred me soon after that it was dangerous to "turn people on" to these things and I didn't want the karmic backlash for doing so.Furthermore it only served prideful purposes, and that is not something I wish to cultivate.

SO, a number of years later, I created this account with the intent to be "just an average commenter" but every now and then I can't let helping smaller tidbits slip. Though I made a concerted effort to avoid giving anything that would be problematic, or might lead to such.

Alright, thanks to your further explanations on Lucid Dreaming and Metaphysical Arts, I can somewhat understand the basis of it all. But it is disappointing to hear people weren't interested in the symbology, but then again, it's not for everyone. To be quite honest, it's not something I'm too familiar with either. Also, about the "know it all" part, I understand the feeling, not in the same basis as symbology, but other such things. Lastly, I can also relate to the want to be an average commenter but then ends up forgetting that part for a couple of comments. That last part might just be me though . . .

Heya! Sorry for such a late reply, I meant to write you back MUCH sooner, but then I was sidetracked by other comments and releases...and now here it is almost 20 days later. Anywho, yeah, that's not just you believe me. ;D

I almost got myself involved in the huge "religious"discussion over in the "Isekai Yakkyoku" comment section and then I realized that was a fruitless endeavor...there's no winners in that one. As they say, 3 things people never agree on (and thus are better to avoid discussing)....Politics...Religion, and Pizza Toppings. XD

Anywho, the point is, we all have the urge sometimes to discuss or engage in discourse regarding things we are passionate about or are confident in regarding our knowledge, especially when we feel it may assist someone else in a positive way.

I'd like to believe that everyone has a lot of good in them and if we can set aside our egos we are all capable of improving the lives of those we encounter.

Still, things don't always go as planned, do they? I think that we all expect people to see/view things from the exact same perspective as we do and often forget that they are living in their own realities and experiences, and the way they may see or experience something is sometimes worlds apart from the way we do, or the way we intend when we provide our own input.

This is why patience and discernment are key when it comes to interpersonal discourse no matter what media one is using. (Though, text message etc.. often makes it tougher to interpret tone and intention.)

Of course, while the internet does offer much greater possibilities for communication and sharing of knowledge, ideas, and viewpoints. It's important to remember that even though it's been a part of our reality for a good number of decades now, it's still young enough that we haven't quite adjusted to the nuances of cyber-interaction in it's entirety, especially as it's an ever evolving landscape.

So it's understandable we'd all step on each others toes or stumble from times to time. Gotta learn to walk before you can run.

I'm rambling now so I'll stop, but you get the jist...... And basically to sum that entire "log-jam" up...I hear ya brother! Me too! ;D

Yeah nice to hear from you again, thought you were dead for a second or didn't have any intentions on replying back. Good to hear that wasn't the case. Not to mention I also saw some of that conversation in isekai yakkyoku, but I wasn't about to take part in any of it. But to the main part of why I am replying, and that is to thank you for explaining much of what you know. I'm starting to understand it more and more when you explain to the point where I can safely say I almost can give a definition or summed up version of myself. (Almost)
Furthermore, I can truly relate on what you explain when it comes to the internet and perspectives.
Anywho, you have my gratitude for replying back and explaining things once again. It is quite enjoyable learning new things that I have never even heard about. So once again, thank you and it's amazing you know so much about it. Till next time.

Thank You Raptor! Right back at you! I have enjoyed conversing with you quite a bit! My memories of it have been nothing but positive and I look forward to seeing you "around" in future comment discussions! Be well my new friend!

Well then, I'm glad I got the time to talk with you as well. I've learned quite the amount of interesting facts. And I also hope to see you around buddy. Hasta la vista.

i would not play with abyss if i wore you, you might never return.

While your concern is noted, dreams are a natural part of one's consciousness and are no more dangerous than say exercising ones imagination to tell a story or paint a picture, heck even meditation carries more risk than dreaming. Believe me, this is only scratching the tip of the iceberg on these topics, lol don't get me started. XD

Because of this i cant tell my fantasy apart from dreaming and have often difficulty to tell wether i slept or not. In addition to that I feel more rested when I have a dreamless night. The only advantage is that I can no longer have nightmares since I just take control of them.
But tbh I wish sleeping was just as easy as switching a switch and am no longer bothered with any dream what so ever.

Yeah, that happens, I have found that when I lucid dream, I wake up feeling tired as though I slept very poorly.

I theorize it is due to a certain part of your brain being kept active while you sleep, you don't hit the same brainwave frequencies you would normally during REM sleep and deeper.

Anywho, it's fixable, if it really bothers you, you can meditate daily and learn to reach deeper and deeper brain states, after awhile you'll learn to enter those states with very little effort, then just use that when falling asleep, preferably right as you're hitting the hypnagogic state where your brain passes into theta wave, you should be able spend a few minutes there transitioning over and then drop right off like a proverbial ledge and sink into dreamless sleep.
There are other potential remedies as well, but I would first have to ask if you have any idea why you are continuously reaching a lucid dream state every night without seeking it? Are you taking any medications or engaging in any type of mental practices/training before bed?

As for having difficulty between fantasy and dreaming are you perhaps meaning to say that you are having/have trouble differentiating between reality/waking states and dreaming/lucid states? Or did I misunderstand you?

(My apologies for the late reply I have been off of disqus for the past month or so.)

As for meditation, because my mother is a yoga teacher, ive tried that. So the problem I experienced has to do that I used my focus during meditation. And focus is a form of force. In short I cant fall asleep when I m focused, because it's an active force. And letting go of my conscious during my focus seemed impossible. Ive allso done by help of a book meditate in front of a plant with the eyes open. At wich you eventualy experience as if your looking through a different dimension towards that plant. By continued practise it seemed I was able to look deeper into this dimension and experience a deeper layer. I m not sure why I exactly stopped with it because I found it an interesting experience. Though it did not help me with falling asleep so I guess that's why.

that looks like some anime made up training for the mc

I'm not sure if I am understanding your comment correctly, would you please clarify what you are referring to in regards to my comment?

As for "Lucid dreaming" it's a real thing, go ahead and look it up, there's a lot of sleep and dream techniques a person can learn and make use of, such as sleep learning, pathwalking, dream programming and hypnosis and plethora of others.

Heck, there are yogis in India who specialize in a form of inner yoga called "sleep yoga," though it's mostly unheard of in the west except in something entirely different which is just a collection of stretches and exercises to help a person sleep better, totally different from what I am speaking of.

Anyways, I am digressing and I probably misunderstood your comment so I'll wait for you to respond instead of rambling on and on into topics you most likely aren't inquiring about. XD

oh god thats real, i didnt think it was possible (small research)

tbh i have not yet achieved a dream where i am the current me, all the ones i see they are usually a scene with me being there but no me being there as i have no memories

so i take it as thats how i really am which i cant see if i am not dreaming ig it gives me a better realistic view

anyway sorry for the late reply, i didnt know disqus had a notifications options till today :)

Lol, no problem, I'm glad to hear back from you, yes indeed Lucid dreaming is real as are many other...things... we won't go into here. Though, I suppose it's safe enough to also inform you that precognitive dreams are real as well, I.E. seeing the future in or through your dreams. I've done that myself, my dad had a few while he was still on this plane as well. (meaning while he was alive)

As for "being you" in your dreams, it's entirely possible to experience or view something without a sense of your own presence or identity. However if you ever get the chance to lucid dream, you will find you have full control of the dream and will have a sense of who or what you are. (Although you can change that at will if you so wish)
It's a great chance to manifest and explore any type of scenario you'd like to experience, the main thing to be careful to be aware you are dreaming and thus able to control it entirely without waking up too much. Once you learn to do this you can return to a dream you have been woken up from and start back at the spot where you left off if you'd like.

Anywho, before this become thesis length I'll leave it at that. Either way, as I said, it's nice to hear back from you, feel free to say hello whenever ya feel like it, I'll keep an eye out for ya. ;)

I did surprise me the unfinished business got finished xD
What will the next step in the relationship be ^^

Dog hostage

I felt that.

Yeah he finally got a kiss from his dream

Me in a romantic dream:

wait you guys have dreams?

if it's made out of biscuits just eat or smash it 😂

let the rain destroy it

you mean meteor shower

yeah that

I think the lizard knight you be the one seeing his powers so far

A pool of gravy should do the trick.

in space?

Oh, you wanted a realistic answer? My bad, I thought you were just goofing around. In that case, how realistic are we talking here? That is what do we have to work with? Are we saying that everything on Earth is exactly the same as the current time we live in with the exception of these crazy knights and their princess or are we allowed some amount of artistic license?

and super powered humanoid fish head monster yes. but not if one of the Knight's power can use the technique you described, then I have no complaints, it's Anime logic after all. but if this happened out of nowhere that's a problem.

Fair enough, then I could suggest that some sort of propulsion device could be used to simply throw it off it's axis so that when it swings it misses earth and it's momentum sends it spiraling into space. Or perhaps it could just be pushed far enough out of orbit that it no longer poses a threat, as obviously it still functions somewhat like a hammer in it's modus operandi. Nukes likely aren't viable since it may be too close atmospherically to use them without radioactive fallout, but there's no reason other methodologies wouldn't work as long depending on the defenses it may have.

hmm true let's see what they thought would be the best method.

Well in all fairness, considering that they DO have free reign of artistic license, I would HOPE that they have a waaaayyy cooler solution than what I just suggested! XD

If they were going to bring romantic feelings between them I wished they had done it in a manner more natural, it felt so random that Yuuhi has feelings for her especially because he's in college so I wasn't expecting him to view her in that way and if anything would maybe start on her end.

Interesting how they can converse in their dreams but I guess they don't remember what happens in it? I wonder if once more knights swear loyalty to Samidare they'll also appear in the dreams too.

Shinonome looks like he'll be a fun character to watch, for a moment I thought he was going to be a pervert but I guess it's just to show his prowess compared to Samidare but it could have been set up differently.

Yeah it could have been set up differently. Shinonome could've just said "Let's spar so I can gauge your strength"... but nooooo, he needs to be that way... I'd punch him in the d!ck without warning.

Well those feelings got forced out instead of being buried and ignored because she is younger and the princess who mind blowed his world

They looks kissing for a second

comments: kiss.
me: a lizard, a dog, a bird, and a ? symbol in the rock.

Snake? 4 characters with animals were shown in the intro

Time for more talking lizards and biscuit hammers!

Hammer time!

Word of the EP: Dissatisfied 😉

Man Amamiya really got some baggage behind that fake smile of his... At least he got that kiss in the end!

This Hangetsu dude is a plate full of ham, and I love him!
