I began lucid dreaming over a year ago and went through a reasonably successful period of basic lucidity, actively dreaming a couple of times a week. Unfortunately, with increased work load and inconsistant sleep patterns, I lost my way with it and before long it had escaped me all together.
So now, a year on, I'm beginning to wish I'd kept at it and often wonder how good I'd have been had I made more of an effort. With my thinking about it, lately I've been having not-so-fun, quite bizarre, semi-lucid dreams.
When I wake up I *think* I lucid dreamt, but there's something telling me I never actually achieved lucidity and instead merely dreamt I had become lucid. Sounds strange, but basically the dreams lack the vivid awareness of being 'awake' and I have FAR less control over my dreams than I once had. For example a year back I could do sums to make sure I was awake, whereas now I regret that I never did a conciousness test, but it never enters my head while dreaming now.
This is really annoying me and I think it would be lovely to recapture my studenty days of watching waking life and staying up late to lucid dream. Question, is it easier to RE-learn than it is to learn from scratch?
