Hello nesgirl and Hate , Thanks for the encouraging messages .
One thing I have noticed since I resumed my journal is that while I have been 'away' my dreams have become unfocussed and lacking direction it is as if the 'scriptwriters' became disheartened at my lack of interest .Now I am recording , examining the dream-content critically again somehow the raw dreams are turning into finished creations they seem to be picking up energy and richness .
Another surprise seems to be the presence of forces within the dream which try to preserve an element of secrecy .In one lucid dream I was even questioned by some kind of dream para-medics who demanded to know why I was conscious in my dream and how awake I was . When I told them I was '82% awake' they strapped me to a stretcher and carried my downstairs to an underground area like a carpark .As I descended to a lower level I also lost lucidity . It seems 'they' did not allow people to remain aware and were determined to drag me back down to unconsciousness.
