Episode 27: No One Told Me Lucid Dreaming Was Scary

On this week's episode the boys tackle rude hand gestures and lucid dreaming! Lucid dreaming seems hard, but it's actually very simple. Just follow these easy steps: 1) through out the day do a task that reminds you that you're awake, such as counting your fingers, 2) make a dream journal to help you remember you dreams and focus on them, 3) ignore the sleep demon in the corner of the room and for the love of God don't make eye contact with it or accept any of its deals, 4) Do. not. talk. to the demon. His name is the Sunken One and his sole pleasure in life is mortal torment. The only known ritual to banish him is the impossible task of getting a full nights sleep.  Got a question that needs answers?
