Let’s face it—we spend a third of our lives asleep. That’s a lot of time just… lying there. But what if I told you those eight (okay, six) hours could actually be the most productive part of your day? And no, I’m not talking about finally catching up on that never-ending Netflix queue. I’m talking about lucid dreaming—yes, it’s real—and how people are turning their REM cycle into a personal brainstorming session, even using it to manifest their wildest goals. Sounds a bit like Inception, right? But what if we could actually hack our sleep and get our lives together in the process?
Dreams are a bit of a mystery, especially considering how hard they are for some people to even recall. Fun fact: a 2015 study found that around one in every 250 people can’t remember any dreams. Ever. Wild, right? This is where lucid dreaming could really come in handy for the, shall we say, “dream challenged.”
So, what exactly is lucid dreaming? For most of us, dreaming is like watching a movie in your head with absolutely no control—no pausing, no rewinding, and definitely no switching to a better plot if the one you’re stuck in is a total snoozefest. But with lucid dreaming, you actually get to take the reins. We’re talking teleporting to new locations, changing the storyline on a whim, or if you’re feeling extra adventurous, doing something ridiculous like eating fire. Why not? It’s your dream world, after all.
But what exactly are the real, tangible benefits of lucid dreaming? Well, even regular dreaming can aid in problem-solving, memory consolidation, and emotional regulation. So, when you elevate it to the “lucid” level, you’re really upping the ante.
Just imagine it: solving your work problems while you sleep. Several different studies have suggested that lucid dreaming can boost problem-solving skills, increase self-awareness, reduce nightmares, enhance emotional regulation, spark creativity, and even improve cognitive learning. It’s like your subconscious is clocking in for the night shift, handling the heavy lifting while you catch those z’s. And all you have to do is set the stage.
Still skeptical? Let’s talk about a guy who taught himself lucid dreaming and, in the process, gained a whole new perspective on himself—and life.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
