post natal natural wondering how to get it back

Hi everyone, I am new here....I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to regain the LD ability. For as long as I can remember I have been able to LD fairly easily including the sleep paralyzation/ two bodies. Ever since I was pregnant and had my son it seems to have dissapeared :? I was wondering has anyone else experienced this.
....Its nice to seem that I am not as weird as I thought....Growing up in a fundemental Christian home things like controlling dreams were considered new age and devilish. I was led to believe that I was different (not in a good way). Anyways enough with the babble...can anyone help me?

I have never been pregnant so have never experienced this exact thing. Sometimes though, everyone has non-lucid spells from Stress, lack of sleep, or maybe in a woman’s case, hormones. Just takin a guess there but really it could be a mix of all three considering you have a new baby. :D

I also grew up in a very religious family but dreaming was never an issue. I must say though... that if lucid dreaming is "new age and devilish"... then well we are all going straight to hell!!! No only joking about that... I don't think it's that at all!!!! You are not different in a bad way but in a GREAT way... as is everyone else on this forum!

I know i wrote all that and didn't help much but feel free to contact me any time if you would like to talk about it!!!

Hey there, welcome to the boards! :D :D

Well, right off the bat I have great confidence that you will regain your ability, especially since you were a natural to begin with. It might just be a matter of trying out various techniques, just to get you back in the swing of things.

How old is your son now? :)

he is almost six months

Hi there and welcome!
I'm pretty sure you will regain your ability to LD - you're body needs as much serious rest as possible at the moment and is probably on total shut-down when you finally can get sleep! Also, if your little one has been waking up a lot (mine woke up every hour for the first few months!) your ability to LD may be affected by a lack of deep sleep.

My son is now nearly three but for the first year after he was born I stopped experiencing episodes of sleep paralysis which I normally have several times a week. I also had zero dream recall and suspect I may have been dreaming much less than usual due to shallow sleeping. I'm now back to my full quota of SP, OBEs, nightmares etc so there is hope!!?
