wow! lisa that would have scared me to the point of awakening. i'm aracnaphobic i absolutely hate spiders. and placebo, thanks for the warm welcome. to answer your question no i'm not asthmatic never had problems breathing, i'm actually a really deep breather. i remember years ago when first reading about lucid dreams, i read something that flying in lucid dreams takes a bit of practise. once i'm done final exams for the semester i'm gonna spend alot of my christmas break reading the tutorials on this website and hopefully learn alot more.
