I got into Lucid Dreaming about five months after my father passed away, I had been having very inense dreams that related to his death. Their effect was to scare me so much that i realized I was dreaming. This got me interested in researching information. For about three months I was really intensely into it and as a result, expericed a few LD's. But I took a break after a few dreams in a row that scared the hell out of me.. I felt that mabey my subconsious was telling me i was quite ready to delve in so deep.
Its been about a year since then and I feel like im ready to get back into it.. I miss the insight in the subconsious that I used to have. Also I really want to use it as a source of creative inspiration for my work.
