Hey sivason......

I can't help but smile at the observation that you with 30+ years of intense practice and me with 71+ days of intense practice find ourselves on very similar places on the lucid path.

Your post brings in some interesting points and questions which I need to ponder before commenting on. Love to hear what others have to say about this first.

i think there is a lesson here, though, especially for folks like me who have just begun the journey and may be meeting with some frustration as they search for their own lucid key. We don't need to be leaping over tall building with a single bound just yet to experience the wonders of this discipline. There are successes to be found every night, at every level of experience. Look for them in the morning and hold them close during the day.

Sleep well....and dream.
