Hello,

I have been lucid dreaming since I was 17, it began spontaneously and continued to increase in frequency until I no longer had standard dreams at all by age 26.
about 4-5 years ago I had a very strange LD where I had the impression I was being blocked somehow from entering the state, and was not able to LD at all until about a week and a half ago, when suddenly I was able to have about 6 in a single night, which is much closer to the point I was at before.

I have some questions and some curiosities about LD experiences I have had which seem non standard, and was hoping for some feedback on what some of this might be. I would prefer logical feedback however as I am not a very spiritual person by nature and much of that sort of thing doesn't seem to translate for me.

Firstly I have noticed a distinct sensation of intense electricity flowing through my body esp. mouth and tongue during my LDs, and was wondering if this is the norm, what that might be caused by (in neurochemical terms)
if it is common etc.

Secondly I have been able to make the transition to and from my LDs more uniform and gradual, in such a way that the result is a sort of blending of regular waking consciousness and dreaming consciousness at the edges, and am pursuing the lengthening of this "transition period" from the dream state to the waking state in the hope that I can eventualy develop a sort of augmented reality state, and I was curious if anyone else is doing this in the interest of sharing progress and method.


thirdly I have come to believe (based on personal experience) that Lucid dreaming is only the first in a sort of many leveled progressive ladder of perceptual states, and was curious how many others share this view, and how much progress if any anyone here has made toward progressive levels in this system.


thats all for now
