[quote:Teioh:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDUwMzEyXzUyMDU1QUQ=] [quote:YouAreDreaming:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDQ5OTM0XzkzOEE3MUY2] [quote:Teioh:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDQ5NjU0X0NFOEM5MTRE] Just wanted to toss this out here in case someone is more familiar with this kind of thing: Last year I had a powerful dream eerily similar to what happened in Lebanon with the Beirut blast - 2 days before it happened. First dream I've ever had like that, where there was a massive explosion, or one that was so vivid and seemingly significant, even before the event came to pass. It could just be a strange coincidence, but I don't personally believe it was. Any thoughts on how something like that might occur? [/quote] Émile Boirac coined the term Deja Vu (French for Already Seen) in the late 1800s but if you read his letters he was talking about the link to this deja expeirence and past dreams. Had he coined the term Deja Reve (French for Already Dreamed) we'd probably have more realization of the source of deja expeirences and their relationship to past dream expeirences. Having Deja reve is not uncommon, a lot of people will link the memory and familiarity of a deja experience to something they dreamed of days, weeks, months and even years in the past. Although this is rejected currently by most skeptical thinkers that doesn't negate that it's a common theme in the dream expeirence going back to the written record and influences emerge in every religion, culture and era where precognitive dreaming is a part of the human expeirence. Aristotle debated it in 350BC in his paper, "On Prophesizing in dreams" http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/prophesying.html There are lots of studies on Rats and the hippocampal replay of dreaming where they had hooked rats up to electrodes in the brain (neural link research also) and found that they replayed the mazes they walked through when place/time cells in the hippocampus during the day produced patterns that replayed during the dream indicating to the researchers the rats were replaying their walking through the maze. In this research however they discovered the rats had patterns of mazes they didn't yet run replaying in their dreams which later matched new mazes setup by the researchers. http://www.sci-news.com/othersciences/neuroscience/science-rats-dream-about-future-02961.html No one said the memory-replay is linear when it comes to dreaming ;) [/quote] Woah. Great answer! :hf: Thanks for taking the time to share that I've decided to try out your free course, doing the first assignment tonight :) [/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?
