Hello New Friends!! Wow I am so happy to have stumbled across this site, or was it an accident? Lets see I have been Lucid dreaming since I was seven years old. In fact it went beyond that, I was also making premonitions through my dreams. I remember telling my mother and she disregarded it as childhood imagination. However as you can tell it didn't go away. My family is part Native Indian so I have been repeatedly told what I had was a gift from the spirit world. I know now there is a technical term but is still doesn't explain a few things. If anyone has some input or thoughts I would really appreciate it. Ok here is my unusual set of circumstances...

I have experienced the following, the ability to manipulate a nightmare, encourage a playful sitaution, re-enact a previous scenario over and over, and recently joined someone I used to have a strong connection with. The most bizarre part of this is after years of no contact, they hunted me down to tell me of this bizarre experience. I am told of situations in my dreams that haven't yet happened. This has freaked out more then a few friends to say the least. I actually experience day time premonitions that are like a take off from the previous nights dream. It's almost like the dream didn't have closure and needs it.

Ok now for the REALLY weird part. I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. I don't have any of the stereo typical traits for this. I am young, not overweight, no history of the disease, and no snoring. My test results showed minimal REM time. I thought the only way possible to experience Lucid dreaming was in a REM state. They want to supply me with an oxygen mask to help achieve deeper sleep. How could I be tapping into this form of dreaming almost daily when three test results have all sworn the same diagnosis? So if anyone out there has any insight, I would be very grateful.

Till then happy dreaming fellow adventurists!!
