[quote:YouAreDreaming:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDUwMzExXzlDMjkwNDE3] [quote:President of TABTX:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDUwMDMyXzM1NTA4OTc2] [quote:YouAreDreaming:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDQ5ODgwXzc2RDEwNjEz] Mine were always future-tense. For example, in my earlier post about the store robbery... I could look forward in time. Where the safe "would" be. What the code "would" be. Not where/what it presently was. And I could only go so far forward. 5-7 days max. Another example, I wanted to "look in" on a girl I liked. Well I couldn't look in the present-tense. It'd be a day or more later & I could recall exactly what she'd wear, where she'd be & what she was doing. I proved this to multiple people. That's about the time I started getting cocky with it. [/quote] That area of dreaming often occurs in DELTA or NREM sleep cycles hence why many don't have it surface. Most assumptions about dreaming is we only do it in REM which is false, research into all stages of dreaming REM/NREM1-4 show we dream and yes people who are more developed for dreaming can remember dreams in all the REM cycles. As to the science of future-tense dreaming goes is limited to the usual psychic tropes rather than a scientific model regarding the nature of time and our entanglement with it. To this date, science really has missed this natural part of cognition due to the cultural biases adapted to mysticism, the occult et al however myself and others I know (physicists like Dr. Fred Allan Wolf, Tom Campbell) and dream researchers like Robert Wagonner, Dr. Art Funkhouser, Dr. Vernon Neppe and Dr. Ed Kellog to name a few) know there is this aspect exhibiting in our dream content. In current science, we know that information can flow from the future to the past with retrocausality experiments. And rats show this anomaly with dream-replay of future maze patterns. Among all the precognitive dream studies spanning the last 100 years which builds a big body of 'ancedotal' evidence and verified examples for those willing to accept the research not the biases. It's another area of the dream experience that emerges naturally for many people but very neglected and debated as evident from Aristotle's paper in 350BCE due to misconceptions or disbelief that such a thing occurs in our dream experience. My view is once you have enough of it, it's not an issue of belief rather a self-edified known through direct experiences over time validating the veridical evidence needed to bridge into this other perspective offered in a deeper layer of dreams and their relationship with reality.

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?
