[quote:AlwaysBlazed:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDY2NDExX0ZCQUQzNzlF] Last night, for the first time in months, I was able to lucid dream for a minute. I used to be able to fly and had great recall where I'd remember multiple dreams from one night and I'd like to get back to that awareness. Last night, I was walking out of some building about to go down some stone steps and suddenly became aware I was in a dream and remembered this thread. My first though was "what do I do now? Where do I go now that I'm in control?". I started walking down the steps very consciously, I don't know if I had ever been that lucid in a dream before, it's hard to describe how heavy my legs felt. Within seconds, though, I felt a throbbing in my head behind my eyes as if the more I tried to walk, the harder my head had to think and work. In order to stay lucid in the dream it felt like I had to have my eyes as wide open as they could possibly be and it quickly became uncomfortable. Ultimately, I forced myself to wake up because the pressure in my head became concerning but I wonder if it's just like stretching a really tight muscle and the pain subsides over time. I wasn't able to reach this state during any other point of the night. Obviously I'm not OP but since this thread is here, has anyone else experienced this and are there any tips on working through it? My plan is to just keep trying every night and see what happens.

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?
