[quote:YouAreDreaming:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDQ5NDE1X0RFNjNCMEIx] [quote:MRF:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDQ5MzU3XzUxNEUwMjFD] For some reason i constantly had sleep paralisis.. but leaving that aside, i also can decide to wake up in dreams... [/quote] Sleep paralysis happens everytime we fall asleep. It's perfectly natural and occurs when the mind releases GABA and Glycine which inhibit neural transmitters in our muscles so we don't act out our dreams. Why you have sleep paralysis is actually because your are self-aware during this natural phase of sleep. It can be bypassed so you don't have to go through the unpleasantness of it (if you are intimidated by it) or you can use it for a platform for self-aware dreaming if the fear is removed once you realize it's always going to happen with sleep as part of our natural sleeping. If you are in SP and having 'weird experiences' it's because we are already in a self-aware dream state, the body is asleep if you get into this mode but the mind is awake. That is the goal for most self-aware dreamers, the mind-awake/body-asleep focus state. [quote:MRF:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDQ5MzU3XzUxNEUwMjFD] i dont control thems at all but if in a dream i decide to wake up for some reason i do it for real.. [/quote] It's easy to control them as dreams are just a form of memeory-replay and thinking. Most are not trained to program their own dream content is the only reason why we lack control. The skill to paint/draw our dreams is not developed. I can dream anything I want because I trained myself how to actively dream and produce my own dreamc content. [quote:MRF:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDQ5MzU3XzUxNEUwMjFD] the most crazy i had , it was when granma died... the things i did in there were like the freaking x men.. first i dream i was cooking ON HER kitchen.. i never ever cook on her kitchen not even dish wash i live in another house.. then several people from a limo came down and try to kidnap me but.. i RE do reality so manh times that i keep appearing on the kitchen.. they had to say please.. so i agree, while inside the limo a guy with a grey smoking told exactly this phrase "Death smell you, but was unable to find you" so his great plan was no other than buried me alive... i kind of feel it was cause for some reason i was living more than i originallh should... i had no problem with this since for some reason i feel this was a dream... and as dream i can simply decide to wake up.. when i want to, so the moment i step up of that stupid car i made the move, and i do wake up on my bed,i go to my kitchen, to drink something and when i was about to . i read Sleeping pills, thats weird cause in my house never Ever use sleeping pill neither in my whole life had a bottle on my hand , is the kind of thing i onlh see on tv.. THEN i truly wake up... i think whoever this people is, they know i can do this waking up shit.. i wonder if that count as LUcId.. i think you lost your ability cause you feel guilty about the incident.. deep down you heart you know you shouldnt have done that [/quote] There is a self-edifying and moral-edifying quality in dreams because we can have these 'what-if' simulations that can make you feel like you should have done that, but that is really a good thing because having the safe-space of a dream to work out bad choices is superior than making those bad-choices in waking life where the consequences are real. Coming out of a morally questionable dream experience and realizing you'd never do that here is very positive, you learned from a negative experience and realized it's not for you. That's the moral-edifying quality of dreaming. The self-edifying quality... well that's matrix level beyond reality epiphanies that only dreams can offer. Far too deep for most to even grasp until they have the exeprience. [/quote]

A little backstory...
Around the age of 16 I had the ability to lucid dream. I don't know all the technical words so I'll just explain it in simple terms. I could think of a subject/place/person, etc before going to sleep & then while asleep with 100% accuracy literally every single time I could tell you where a person was, what they were wearing, what they were doing, what they were going to do etc. I got a little cocky with this talent & started abusing it for personal gain. Long story short, the law got involved & I lost the ability seemingly overnight.
So here's my question: Can I regain this skill or did I f*ck that all up karma-wise? Previously I had the ability without aids such as background noises or whatever people use nowadays to enter that state of mind. I've sworn I'll never abuse that talent again (and I believe talents like this come from God) but I kinda feel like I had my chance & I abused it so He took it from me.
I'd like to hear what the experts in this field have to say about my query. Can I get it back? If so, how?
