Is it in a subconscious memory location, that comes to conscious thought. With a solution? [/quote] This part of problem solving in dreams actually has been a big focal point for a lot of dream research spanning decades. It's people like Srinivasa Ramanujan who produced some of the most advanced mathematical theorems for his day all thanks to being able to solve them in his dreams which appeared as scrolls with the theorems (he was in isolation and self-taught but blew away the most advanced mathematicians trained in university). Lot's of other inovcations and discoveries emerged from dreams providing those epiphanies.[b] The Periodic Table of Elements, the Sewing Needle, The Benzine Molecule and so on.[/b] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan Why? The subconscious mind is constantly working on our logical problems with us during the day and quite often we can subconsciously know a solution to the problem but while awake it doesn't quite make it to the surface and then presents itself in the dream. Chances have you already figured it out but needed a break from the problem so the solution could now present itself elegantly in your dream. [/quote] sorry, that's BS [/quote] Prove that it's BS. Here's a research study of many that prove we can problem solve in our dreams. It's a well-documented and studied trait and also self-evident. I mean Rene Descartes even had epiphanies from his dreams. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23055117/ [/quote] A sewing needle, really? Considering there are egyptian ones in display at Louvre, natives used bones, etc. Periodic table, which version? Gauge theory and Standard model are presented in Japanese millenia old Tantra texts. Much of quantum mechanics and relativity is in Buddhist thought. [/quote] What are we arguing about... some dreams have helped people solve problems. That is a fact, it's studied and self-evident for anyone who had a problem slept on it where they found had a solution to their problem in their dream content. That is the point that I am saying is not bullshit that dreams can sometimes help some people with problem-solving. I won't say every dream we have is solving every problem or giving us an advanced scientific or theoretical breakthrough as it did for Srinivasa Ramanujan as that is entirely unique to his life and interests. It would take a person already in an academic study or research to recognize a solution from their dream content that they may not have while awake and then test it out, most wouldn't even clue into the solution if it presented because they would lack any knowledge in that field to see something of value. And I would argue the only reason why the solution did present is they likely were already close to figuring it out through their study and dedication and the dream was just the nudge they needed to have their breakthrough as we dream relative to ourselves and what we do.

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?
