Hi I'm weather, I actually joined DV in JAN but fell ill and forgot as I was searching for bin/iso healing tones, which I could still do with. I have quite a few but you can never have enough. I don't use them for any LD at all.

I'm in my 40's and have been a natural LD all my life from OBE, AP's, SP and WILD's and some of the other acronyms you use which I can't remember all the names of.

As a child it began with night terrors then quickly progressed to LD and SP with hypno's, which as a child are terrifying and I still don't like them now. My parents were so concerned that when I was about 8 dad thought that I had a brain tumour, LOL!!!!!! Luckily my mum seemed to know what was going on somehow. It's genetic as far as I'm concerned and runs very strongly throughout my family on my mothers side. She dealt with it with aplomb but didn't have a clue how to stop it or what it really was as she had it too, as do all 3 of my sister to varying degrees. Natural born LD'ers but I just found it way too exhausting in the end and had a sleep study about 6 years ago and now take medication which has stopped hypno's and SP completely although one might slip though every now and again. It's also reduced my LD's but I've had my fair share.

I'm just here to say HI, and learn about the rapidly growing interest in this field over the years and what people have to do to reach their aim of ability. It's a fascinating subject that I had no idea had such a huge following. I'm so interested in this that I want to explore it further as my ability to LD has dropped off majorly, from nightly to twice a week and they are very weak and I'm not able to hold them for long.

I had no idea about testing to see if you were in an LD and so much more, I have SO much to learn and so many questions in regards to growing up like this and utterly hating it as it honestly nearly sent me mad. Especially the hypo's and SP which were always violent and quite often tactile.

Did ANYONE else grow up like this, if so I'd love to speak with you.

W.
