[quote:YouAreDreaming:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDUwNDI4X0NCOTdGOUY1] [quote:pool:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDUwMDU2XzY0NjdFQUU5] Yes, practice, nutrition and a 2nd sleep stage in the early morning. I wake about 3, eat some protein, sip some B vitamins from a redbull and go back to sleep. Lucid, colorful, compassionate, psychic, some horror but quit that thru prayer. I could draw a place, a face and a room then a couple of weeks later it would be splashed across the news in a tragedy. My soul hurt from those so I prayed for those to quit. They quit. Good luck OP. Remember to move around, look at your hands, and ask questions in your dreams. [/quote] Absolutely, dreaming is an active skill and requires participation to really gain from it. It should be natural because it occurs naturally for every living organism that dreams so just having a dream plan, a dream routine and knowing how to train the skill is how we gain leverage on our dream quality. The second-sleep cycle known as 'Napping' or wake-back-to-bed was extensively studied by Dr. Stephan LaBerge and the Lucidity Insititute showing people who slept 4-6 hours in the first sleep cycle, then waking up getting out of bed for 30-60 minutes before returning for the second sleep cycle can improve their chance of lucidity by 10x. I am a WBTB lucid dreamer as the first-sleep cycle is actually very difficult to achieve lucidity regularly due to the need of our brain to do maintenance during that time but that said you can achieve lucidity in the first-sleep cycle but using MILD vs WILD is the better strategy imo.

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?
