Hi everyone! New to this forum, I've been looking for some insight for a while, sort of dealing with it all on my own. I've been having semi-lucid dreams, complete with a guide, since I was a child. I posted another thread looking for insight moving from semi-lucid to lucid. Also looking for help reconnecting with that guide, whom I haven't seen in about 5 years.

Also, my mom died recently and it's been causing me nightmares for the first time in decades. Right after she died my dreaming self wanted her back any way possible, so I dreamed about her. But my conscious mind knew she was dead, so of course I had the horror of a zombie mom in my dreams (sure, it's funny now, but it was really horrific at the time.) Sometimes I'm blessed with wonderful dreams about her, other times they're awful. If anyone has advice about controlling that I'd love to hear it!

One other thing of note: I have a son who has gone through a lot in his short life, and I have never had a real dream about him. I don't think my mind could handle something bad happening to him, even in a dream, so it simply says, "Nope! Not even gonna go there!"

Oh, right! This was supposed to be an intro post! I'm SG, from Ohio, mom, writer, and teacher.
