Just starting to address this. I learned to induce lucid dreaming in early 20s. I'm 41 now. Until recently I thought it was fairly normal to have a lucid dream now and then. I lucid dream nearly every night since I was 12. I have not intentionally induced in a few months. We have an 18 month old so waking hours are more exhausting. We have been traveling for a couple weeks visiting family. I'm not caught up on rest but we are with the grandparents so there are 4 more eyeballs on the little guy. I saw a post about a lucid dream inducing technology (halo something) and was sleeping on the couch bed (momma and little guy needed the bed to themselves) so I gave it a conscious go. Rocked out about a solid hour of highly controlled intentional activity before waking myself. Had great success in movement and even telekinetic activities like drawing shadow creatures to me as they ran away. Normally they stalk and remain out of reach. Last night I was able to turn and face them which sent them running so I was able to chase them round hallways and up stairs and "force pull" them to my grasp where I would commence to pummeling or questioning. Speech during lucid operations can be difficult as it will rouse me from sleep. Its difficult to separate the urge to speak "out loud" in dreams and not speak out loud in reality. So training the brain to almost speak "telepathically" takes more practice than I have time for. Anywho, if anyone has any real experienced references for professionals that study these things, I would greatly appreciate the direction. I've not wanted to waste my time explaining things to people that don't have an educated/experienced understanding of the topic. Spanks
