What sparked my interest in lucid dreaming was when my dreams started to seem more than what they were.

2 years my boyfriend passed away and ever since from the day he died to now I see him in my dreams. But everytime I do, I always interact with him and talk, getting answers to things that I hadn't wanted to know.

In one case I was trying to find something that belonged to him in my house. In my dream I woke up and found him standing next to my bed. He didn't say anything to me, he just started walking so I got up and followed him throughout the house. He led me downstairs into the basement and started pointing at the closet door. I gave him a strange look and he walked over to the door. He opened it, reached in and pulled out his jacket that I had been looking for. I was so happy he found it then I woke up. It was about 5 something in the morning and I shot up out of bed with a flashlight taking apart the closet downstairs. No luck I didn't find it. I got upset and started screaming "Why show me the damn thing if it isn't even in the house" because I was under the impression it got left behind in my old house (we had just moved). Next thing I know I tripped and fell, to prevent myself from falling I grabbed onto the sleeve of one of the jackets. When I pulled myself back up, the jacket that I was holding onto was indeed the jacket I had been looking for that he found in my dream.

At first I was completely focused on him, so at night I would think of reaching out to him and he would appear. Later on it got harder to concentrate and seeing him became rare. Now it's starting to stir back up and I want to know how to concentrate and focus more so I can talk to him again.
