[quote:YouAreDreaming:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDY1ODE1X0U3NkZBNTBE] [quote:President of TABTX:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDY0ODE4XzIxNjJCRUQ1] [quote:Freefreakshow:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDYxMTMzX0JDODlDRTYy] Get the Lucid Dream vaccine. You only need 3 boosters to be lucid for a whole year. Yay Gates. [/quote] That's funny sh*t right there I don't care who ya are. So last night was another success in dream recall. Again nothing spectacular to report BUT I was able to recall 2 dreams this time around. Oh & I did eat 2 bananas before bed like a previous poster suggested. Not sure if that made any kind of difference but figured it couldn't hurt. Tonight I'm going to try something different. Going to step it up a notch. Before I go to sleep I'm going to try concentrating on a subject. Something prominent/distinct that I won't overlook while in dream-state. I'm thinking something like my favorite TV show or video game, character... All I'm trying for in this round is for it to materialize in my dream somehow & not so much have complete lucid control over it. Baby steps. [/quote] That's great, it does come back quickly if we just give it some participation and routine. Quite often people want to do the big things that they can't do because someone else can, I like the gym metaphor as an example. Sure it would be nice to just go in and bench 350lbs on your first day at the gym but the foundation and development to do so isn't there so you have to progress towards that goal building up until it's achievable. Those baby-steps are foundation building to the bigger and more complex achievements you can do with dreaming, as they are for any skill we develop. That's why a foundational developmental approach to dreaming works better than trying to bench 350lbs with that expectation when the reality is it takes a lot of steps to get to that point. [/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?
