[quote:YouAreDreaming:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDUwNzk4XzJBMjU5RTY3] [quote:Zerubayah:MV80NzQ1MDA3Xzg2NDUwNjc4X0I1NjREOURF] There actually is a very large drain in energy when you consider your waking conscious attention as the primary energy of consciousness. Active lucid dreaming and it's commonly attendant astral activities seem to draw an inordinate amount of the conscious self-reflective attention of those who take a serious dive into it, and in my experience it usually doesn't end well (in a moral sanity sense) for those who take it too seriously. [/quote] Well, I've been doing this for 34 years almost every night. I've already mentioned the self-edification and moral-edification aspect of the experience in prior posts that come with the practice. Everyone has 3-5 dreams, some birds dream and every mammal with a brain dreams. To say dreaming is bad or leads to stupid shit is really a big draw and stretch. That's like saying learning to master playing the piano is going to turn you into a psychotic monster. How someone uses their dreams can be beneficial or consequential that much is clearly studied in history and the Jungian shadow-self is very real, I call it the anti-self. And this doesn't apply to just dreams, we can either express our true-self or our anti-self in both our waking and dream life because that reflects our true nature and quality, no escaping that we exist and we are something that is both good and evil in potential. The way I see it... if a person is evil by nature they will express that both in their waking life and in the dreams but their dreams may exaggerate it even more. I view that as lower-consciousness and that path is the path to self-destruction, self-sabotage, and the anti-self. When observed and known that we have a true-self, that comes from higher-consciousness our dreams can also connect us to that. It is all in how the individual chooses to transgress themselves. Do they choose to evolve and become their highest potential or do they make bad choices and de-evolve into self-destruction? Dreams will reflect our nature and we can use them to transgress towards our true self or not. But that is again something that comes with the self-edifying nature of this practice that has to be learned through direct experience ie... can't be taught like telling the student the answer to a question so they can't figure out how to get to that result themselves. Self-edifying truth is all about epiphanies and self-realized moments in this system and is earned by the merits of oneself. [/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?
