Hello All

I've had the occasional LD most of my life (I am 41 now). I even remember as a kid having LD naturally but they became less and less frequent though my teens. I didn't really know what LD was back then. I just remember them being fun.

In the last year or so had a sting of very vivid LD which has peaked my interest. I have been working on how to initiate the LD rather than waiting for them randomly. Here is my problem. I'm new here so be patient with me.

I have sleep apnea and sleep with a mask. I started out focusing on the humming sound of the machine while falling a sleep. I pick a point in my mind in front of me and focus in that direction. Most of the time I end up in an empty void. I am lucid and have full control of my thoughts but there is nothing. Just a black empty void. I feel trapped and cant snap out of the dream because I have no trigger. These LD seem to go on for a very very long time. I usually wake out of them by my alarm clock or disturbance.

Has anyone experience this type of LD? What does it mean?

I love when I LD. I hate the experience of the void.
