Hey gab, thank you for your reply! The reason i feel the way i stopped lucid dreaming on a regular basis is strange, is because of how sudden it was. I described it as losing my ability to LD but, as you say, since i had 1-2 it's not exactly that i lost it completely. I can describe it better. I feel like i've gone a thousand steps back! It was so difficult (and still is) to even remember my dreams after this that it got me thinking. I didn't change my sleep schedule and no, nothing so special happened. On the contrary, after this dream i got more excited about the possibilities and started thinking more about my dreams. The only thing i can think of is that my subconscious is punishing me, in a way, for revealing information about the dream that i felt were too personal to share. The reason i believe the second dream was a dream within a dream is because it had a completely different "texture", it felt deeper, but as you say, i may have been a normal dream, just weird I will start practicing and see if i can get my dreams back! I totally miss them and feel like i lost a part of me :/
