Hello again Mr0Blonde! I was going to bump this thread for you this morning but I see that it is not necessary. I am NOT a regular yet but I think for almost all people what Zoth says above seems to be true from what I have read in these forums. Many people come back to the forum after years away from lucid dreaming trying to get it back the way it was. It sounds like you're still doing things during the day to maintain that muscle, if you will, but I think most people eventually start forgetting to flex that muscle and then they lose the ability to be a regular lucid dreamer.
