[quote:YouAreDreaming:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDUwMzc3XzIzMTAwNkE0] [quote:MRF:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDUwMTQxX0UyREEyNDND] I cant say i was able to reach Lucid dream or a total control of it.. except for ddcide to wake up In the dream and then do it for real..thats the best control i had... i remember just once.. just one time i dream( or i belief it was a dream , i was fliying trough my house and i see myself sleep.. once i aproach myself i wake uo) that happen just once.. i heard sleep paralisis can be the jump.off point to other things, sadly i Do try to wait.. or even keep waiting inside my own paralisis to something to happen.. i had such control over sp.. that when i was younger i was able to simply and calmly choose between the fast motion option or the waving head mode to broke out of it... i do try to help those who suffer it and becomes super scared of it.. most of them . hate it and doesnt want to suffer more than once in their life as for the people who claims to see demons and shadows i cant comment on dat.. it is something never happened to me the only time i barely open one eye it was just my daam wall... the feel is like some magnetic force keep me down to my bed.. but i never ever related it to something paranormal [/quote] It's common for newbies who have sleep-paralysis to experience the 'old-hag' or shadow-people effect. This is actually a fear response manifesting in the dream-replay like a knee-jerk reaction and quite often people who have belief in demons and the occult will have dream-replay that invokes those beliefs. Because dreams are our beliefs/thoughts in reflection during sleep. They often get spooked by their own imaginations and cease participation due to fear. In our waking life we look into the mirror and see our body reflecting, but when we sleep our dreams reflect our mind. In an SP dream for a beginner, it also will reflect the stunted dream development that I talk about so our perception can be weak, muddy, noisy. Our cognition also can reflect deficiencies in our ability to think, reason, and act on the current focus-state effectively because aspects of our mind are in various stages of inactivity during that process. As we develop, this all clears up so you can sleep, enter SP and go into a fully sensory-rich self-aware dream experience that you are influencing to your heart's intent. That is where dreaming gets to be really fun and creative 'run-time' self-expressions for the dream artist within you. [/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?
