sleeping pill helped me regain lucidity lost since childhood

[gazza2208]

I used to LD all the time as an early teen - I could even dream link - restart dreams from where they left off from the night before. Back then I never tried doing much just walking round and such and flying though I did have sex at least once. I lost my ability somewhere along the way and forgot I could even do it till 2006 when I tried a sleeping pill called nimetazepam. It causes me to have lucid dreams every time I take it. I have only ever tried one other kind of sleeping pill - Stilnox - but that had no effect on dreaming at all. Nimetazepam is only available in Asia though as it is banned in most western countries (abuse potential reasons or something). I don´t know if I am the only one who can LD when using this or not. Now I want to find a way to LD again without using drugs so I have come to this site seeking knowledge. During childhood I first attained lucidity when having one of my recurring nightmares (I had 6 operations as a child from age 4-12yo - so I was severely tramatised so had very bad nightmares till I became lucid). Anyhow, in the dream I was once again being chased by the vampire and u know the feeling u just cant run fast enough to get away - I finally had a thought - ah f**k it I am tried of being chased let me die - long story short he caught up to me and bit me and I woke up unafraid and I never saw him again. After that I found I could lucid dream every night w/o interference from the undead.
