[quote:YouAreDreaming:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDQ5OTgxXzE0NUNCMg==] [quote:MRF:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDQ5NzA1X0M1M0UzRkE5] Also i know what cause it.. at least ON MY case... it is 100% related to sleep hours.. or oversleep...if i oversleep i can cause 3 or 4 sleep paralysis in a day.. i m able to sleep as much as i want for some reason but i do pay the sleep paralysis price..specially if i join it with radically change sleep hours.. lets say i dont sleep from 00:00 and i go to take a nap from 14:00 foward i m goin to take up..soon as 15:00 i can repeat as much as i want but i wont be able to sleep more than 1 hour.. and for every time i do i will pay with sleep paralysis [/quote] I used SPI or sleep-paralysis induction for self-aware dreaming in my initial learning curve because it worked and it naturally occurred when trying to stay aware during the process of falling asleep. You get used to it and the fear which is the only barrier because of the intensity of mind-awake/body-asleep goes away once you realize it's normal and natural, also expected if taking this approach to dreaming. However, I learned to bypass it entirely with a different technique that I call sensory-replay construction which lets me build up the dream during the hypnagogic transition into the desired dream outcome. By having my attention on the actual emerging dream content and not my body I found myself moving into the dream content as awareness unaware of the body as it naturally fell asleep and never had sleep-paralysis since switching to it. Plus it produced all my best artistic dreams so win win for me. [/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?
