[quote:YouAreDreaming:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDYwNzA1X0MyRjYyMzQz] [quote:MRF:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDYwNjEzXzMzNENERDAw] Amazing, now dats a crazy loop! i just had 1 false awakening...probably trigged by those entities of the limo who want to buried me alive... but thats its, over all it was a simply dream compared to yours with 5 false awakenings [/quote] When you train for lucid dreaming, false-awakening loops emerge because awareness naturally starts to fit into the dream cycle. I don't always have FAL but when I do, I can leverage it like I did this cycle for some fun because the awareness comes with it often. The problem is it can be tricky when it's ultra-realistic daily routines to even realize you are dreaming even though you are fully awake, rational and thinking so that's a bit of a trip. The first cycle I had zero clue I was dreaming due to the way it perfectly simulated my daily routine. Took the second-loop to get me to finally figure out that I was dreaming. For me, I like them because I know how to leverage them for fun and adventure but some people new to dreaming can find them a bit intimidating as they are not used to or orientated yet in self-aware dreaming. But that's like your experience with sleeper's paralysis. It's harmless and again a great tool for self-aware dreaming except beginners often have a few skeletons in their closet as fears which can emerge in the dream that spooks them out, plus the feeling of being physically paralyzed isn't very fun so I don't teach techniques to beginners that I know invoke Sleep Paralysis such as the more advanced physical muscle relaxation style. The other area that people don't often talk about is becoming dream-locked. What that is, is a person new to self-aware dreaming suddenly achieving self-awareness but not having skills yet to change or alter their dream content and end up in a fear based or negative dream that they have no control over and now are stuck there being locked into the cycle of that dream and it can appear like hours until the cycle changes. I've been dream locked in my early days and know many people who have but it's often a beginner's challenge due to the lack of orientation and ability to direct their dream content at will. Once they get that skill figured out you literally can lock down a good dream, and let that cycle out having a blast. [/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?
